Between meetings I had an interesting conversation with Patriarch Oliver B. Huntington. He showed me a little book in which he had recorded things said to him by the Prophet Joseph Smith. One was that the earth had been inhabited 3 times before Adam came upon it; the former races having been destroyed.
