Transcription

An old Indian having attended a Mormon meeting, and heard one of its advocates extol Mormonism; was requested to give his opinion of its merits. He began by detailing the great good which had been done by the Bible, of which God was the author. And, said he, the devil, seeing this, determined, that he also, would have a Bible of his own, and, accordingly, he wrote the book of Mormon. But, on examination he felt ashamed of his work, and so he hid it, in Ontario County, N.Y. But Jo Smith dug it up, and published it as a revelation from God!
