Dad was baptized in the L.D.S. Church July 1, 1883 by C.H. Monson and confirmed the same day. After that he attended Sunday School pretty regularly. After going to his own Sunday School he would go quite often with Oscar to the Presbyterian Church. He learned a lot about their religion--Came in handy when he wanted to argue about religion, which he did quite often. He liked the songs of the Presbyterian church and tried to sing. Poor Dad, he couldn't carry a tune in a sack, he said.

One day in company with Frank Whitehead, Parley Wright and Brig Hyer, he went to the Presbyterian Church. They sneaked in and sat on the back bench. A little dog followed them in. They began to tease the dog. They got him to growling and barking. They all laughed and created quite a disturbance. The minister knew these boys, so he called them by name and asked them to come to the front. Dad was sitting on the aisle, so he marched right up to the front. The other boys ran out the back. The minister gave Dad quite a lecture, then let him go. He had the other boys arrested and fined for disturbing the peace. The punishment that the judge meted out--Dad's father--was to work on the water ditch for 5 days without pay. Parley Bright lost his Sunday coat while serving out his sentence. His mother never forgave Dad and his father for this. She lived next to Dad and Mother after they were married and she was forever reminding Dad about this. Source
