"On the 9th of May 1929, John the Baptist
came back to earth to baptize Smith; and on
the 9th of April, 1880, the first church Of
Latter-Day Saints was organized at Manches-
ter, New York, consisting of four Smiths and
two converts out of the family-Pratt, Rigdon,
Kimball and Young joining afterwards. This
Bible, unlike that of the Christian or Mussel-
man, purports to be chiefly historical, and does
not enuncate or enforce system Of moral
and religious truth in philosophic or didactc
form; all its incidental lessons upon life or
manners being derived from current doctrines
of this day. 1t is consequently incapable Of
comparison with any other extant form Of re-
ligious faith One might as well compare the
Christian religion with Fenelon's Telemachus,
or one of James novels
"The materials Of the Mormon book, though
mostly derived from the same source, are so
crafty jumbled together, SO inartifcaly con-
structed, that if whirlwind had scattered the
leaves Of the sacred record, and combined
them again with the feats of Baron Munchau-
sen by machinery, it could not have surpassed
this production of inanity and folly"
