The Beginning Of MOrmOnism.

Twenty eight years ago, Joe Smith.
The founder OF this sect, and Harris. his
first convert, applied to the senior editor
OF the Journal, then residing in Roches
Ter. to print his "Book of Mormon"
then Just transcribed from The Golden
Bible. which Joe had found in The clef,
OF rock. to which he had been guided
by vision.
We attempted TO read the first cha p,er.
but II seemed such unin,ellIgble iargon
that II was thrown aside. Joe was
tavern idler in the village of PaImyra.-
Harris, who offered to pay for tie print,
ing. was substantial farmer. Disguised
with what we considered weak inven-
ton OF An imposter, and not caring 10
strip Harris of his hard earnings, the
proposition was declined.
The manuscript was then taken 10
another printing office across the street.
from whence, in due time, The original
Mormon Bible made its advent.
''Tall trees from little acorns grow,
But who would have anticipated from
such bald. shallow, senseless imposi.
tion, such world wide consequenaes,-

even ID the mos. enlightened Of all the

imposture and credulity. If knayes, or,
even fools, invent creeds, no,hingis too
monstrous for belief. Nor does the fac,

as lmposters. either oren the eyes of their
dupes or arrest the progress o.. .delusion.
