The Making Of A Mormon Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Making of a Mormon The little cuckoo clock announcing the hour of five turned his thoughts back into the room. He went to the table, and taking from the drawer a small bundle of tracts began stamping them with the name of the hall in which the Saints held their meetings and the time of devotional service. He little dreamed at that time of the wonderful mission which one of those simple leaflets would perform.

Excerpt from The Story of the Book of Mormon HE story that we are about to relate is a true one. It is the history of the races who lived on this broad land of ours long, long ago. From it we shall learn many lessons of God's great love for man. We shall also learn how often his love has been spurned, how apt his favored children have been to walk in ways of sin, and how prone to disobey his holy law.' It is a story full of light and shade, one which it will be well for all of us to take to heart, for by so doing our faith in God will increase, and we shall be prompted to strive the more earnestly to avoid the evils that others by their misdeeds have brought upon themselves and their posterity. America, the land we love, is, in our Heavenly Father's eyes, choice above all other lands as the home of his sons and daughters, whom he has placed upon this earth. For all God's creatures are not here. He has made many worlds and filled them with his chil dren. How many we know not; they are countless to us. The stars, that shine in myriads in the heavens, are nearly all suns like the one that gives us light; the remaining few are worlds like unto this on which we dwell; and ours is one of the very smallest of them all. To the works of God there is no beginning, neither is there any end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Mormon Prophet IN studying the rise of this curious sect I have discovered that certain misconceptions concerning it are deeply rooted in the minds of many of the more earnest of the well-wish ers to society. Some otherwise well-informed pe0p1e hold Mormonism to be synonymous with polygamy, believe that Brigham Young was its chief prophet, and are convinced that the miseries of oppressed women and tyran nies exercised over helpless subjects of both sexes are the only themes that the religion of more than two hundred thousand people can afford. When I have ventured in con versation to deny these somewhat fabulous notions, it has been earnestly suggested to me that to write on so false a religion in other than a polemic spirit would tend 'to the um dermining of civilised life.

Excerpt from Why I Am a "Mormon" On many occasions the author of this lit tle work has been called upon to give a rea son for the hope that is within him; to give a reason for his affiliation with so unpopular a religious denomination as that commonly known as the Mormon Church. It is not the intent of this little treatise to give a detailed account of the Mormon system, for that would require volumes. Such works are already written and can be procured at any time.

Excerpt from The Mormons and Their Bible The present treatise is a revision of the book known as The Golden Bible, published by the author some fourteen years ago, containing the substance of lectures he had previously delivered to the Mormons all over Utah. The book as published then met with a cordial reception everywhere, but was too bulky for the largest circulation. The present volume contains only about one-half of the matter, carefully selected from the old edition, with some changes and the introductory chapter on The Mormon Problem, which has never before been published.

Excerpt from The True Origin of the Book of Mormon From the year 1834 to the present, the majority of anti-mormon polemics and writers have held to the view presented in these pages that the Book Of Mormon is nothing more than Solomon Spaulding's Manuscript Found, revamped. Now and then one has been found who has doubted or denied this theory, but, generally speaking, it is the impregnable rock upon which the anti Mormon forces have taken their stand.

Excerpt from The Mormon Trials at Salt Lake City The morning after my arrival I found everybody going up to see Brigham Young, some accompanied by an introducer, others falling in as interlopers. My chaperon was a bright young Mormon editor, as rosy as the sun On the mountains, who conducts a live salt newspaper, possesses a singular fam ily, in that it is limited, arid has built the first house with a Mansard roof in the heart of the continent. If he should feel distressed at any of these comments upon the Saints, my ingratitude will be great, and his paper will score me.
