AMERICANA.

The March number Of Americana
magazine contains chapters XVII and
XVIII OF History Of the Mormon
Church. by President b n. Roberts.
In the first Of these chapters the author
tells OF the coming Of Sidney Rigdon."
and in the second Of the exodus from
the State Of New York TO Ohio" Both
are intensely interesting and give evi-
dence Of exhaustive and painstaieing
research
President Roberts shows conclusivefy
that there is absolutely no historical
foundation for the allegation that the
Book Of Mormon is sidney Regions
version Of the spauding manuscript,
or that Sidney Rigdon had anything
whatever to do with the bringing forth
Of that book He quotes the testimony
Of John w Rigdon. in a manuscript BIZ
og1phy Of his father. filed in the His
torian's office. John Rigdon says that
IN 1855 he determined TO put the ques-
tion 10 his father you have been
charged" he said. with writing that
book and giving il 10 Joseph Smith TO
introduce 10 the world You have AL
ways told me one story; that you never
SAW the book until IL was presented 10
you by Farley p. Pratt and Oliver Cow
derry; and all you ever knew Of the orr
gin OF that book was what they told
You and what Joseph Smith and the
witnesses who claimed 10 have seen the
plates told YOU. Is this true? n so.

and your family to tell IL. You are
an old man and you VIII soon pass
away, and ! wish 10 know II Joseph
Smith. in your intimacy with him for
fourteen years. has not said something
to you that led you to believe he OBJ
tanned that book in some other way
than what he had told you. Give me an

truth"
To this appeal MT Rigdon with up
lifted hand and tears In his eyes re-
piled: MY son, 1 can swear before
hiph heaven that what 7 have told
YOU about the origin of that book is
true" He added that "Mormouism"
is true. that Joseph Smith was
prophet. and this world would find il
out some day" This disposes entirely
OF tho theory that traces the Book Of
Mormon 20 the SpauldinE manuscript
through sidney Rigdon. There was
no reason why Mr.. Rigdon. IN 1865,
should have repeated falsehood
about that book There was every
reason why he should have told the
truth on that occasion. and his tcsti-
mony must be accepted as final
