hings of the Prophet Joseph
Smith were brought into the discussion and jeered at, by all members
except my friend, who was a "Mormon." His defense brought forth
ridicule and intensified the discussion.

"As the class period had expired without completing the argument, a
week from that day was the time set to complete it. Of course, my
friend felt that he should do all possible to defend the attitude of
the Church, so he studied, fasted and prayed, to secure the aid of
inspiration, for he well knew that nothing but scientific proof would
be accepted.

"And now concerning the residue, let
