The Solomon Spaulding story of the Book of Mormon is not yet dead. Rev. E. P. Parker preached a sermon at Hartford, Conn., last Sunday, wherein he said that to three New England men—Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, natives of Vermont, and Solomon Spaulding, who was born in Ashford in this state—the Mormon Church is greatly indebted. Vermont having provided its organization and working force, and the Connecticut man furnishing the brain of its literature. That is, of course, a mistake so far as Spaulding is concerned, as everybody here knows. The Spaulding manuscript, when discovered, was far different from the Book of Mormon.
