However, the butchers trade did not appeal to him, so at the age of thirteen he was bound out again – this time to his uncle John Green, to learn the harness trade.

While laboring in this capacity he received a strong testimony to the divinity of the church and the ability of Heavenly Father to aid his people in time of need. One time he had arranged for a meeting and the elders were delayed, so the responsibility of conducting the services fell on William’s shoulders. He had had no previous experience of this kind and felt very humble, praying for divine help to speak the right words. His prayer was answered and after the meeting a number of people shook his hand, saying that he had made clear to them the meaning of the Gospel.while laboring in this capacity.
