Mormonism BLOOD ATONEMENT And I he Origin of Plural Marriage INTRODUCTION The correspondence in this pamphlet was brought aboui through the wilful misrepresentation of the doctrines of the Latterday Saints and the unwarranted abuse of the authorities of the Church by Mr. Richard C. Evans, in an interview which appeared in the Toronto (C anada) Daily Star of January 28, 1905. A copy of the interview was placed in the hands of the writer, who, on February 19th following, replied to Mr, Evans in an open letter which was published in the Toronto Star on or about the 25th of the month. This open letter was answered by Mr. Evans in a personal letter, and on the 23rd of May, a rejoinder to his reply was sent to Mr. Evans at his home in London, Ontario, Canada. In all, four communications including the interview have passed between us, and all of these four communications are here reproduced in full. A copy of the open letter which appeared in the Star, was also sent to Mr. Evans who acknowledged its receipt. Nothing more was done in regard to this correspondence until August 17th and 24th, when an article containing a portion of it appeared in the Zion s Ensign, published by the Reorganized church at I ndependence, Jackson County, Missouri, under the title: Statements A uthenticated, in which it was made to appear that the full and complete communications were reproduced. But this, however, was not the case. As I did not receive a copy of the Toronto Star I cannot positively say that my article appeared in full, but if it did not Mr. Evans is still without excuse for not considering the entire matter for he received personally a duplicate copy of the article sent the Star which contained those portions he has failed to include in his entire matter in the Zion sE(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical

An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites—Written to the Lamanites, who are a remnant of the house of Israel; and also to Jew and Gentile—Written by way of commandment, and also by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation—Written and sealed up, and hid up unto the Lord, that they might not be destroyed—To come forth by the gift and power of God unto the interpretation thereof—Sealed by the hand of Moroni, and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by way of the Gentile—The interpretation thereof by the gift of God. An abridgment taken from the Book of Ether also, which is a record of the people of Jared, who were scattered at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people, when they were building a tower to get to heaven—Which is to show unto the remnant of the house of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever—And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations—And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ. TRANSLATED BY JOSEPH SMITH, Jun.

The Book of Mormon is a translation of golden tablets given to Joseph Smith who wrote of their account of a plan for salvation and what men must do to gain peace in this life and eternal redemption in the life to come. Smith received these golden plates from Mormon's son Moroni who was dead but considered glorified and resurrected on September 21, 1823. Smith said he was instructed by God to provide the rendering of these documents into the English language. This New Bible speaks of Jesus' appearance in America after His resurrection. He spoke to the Indians and taught them about salvation and propitiation and their future worshipping God.

[A little stats]In 2012 in the US, roughly 24 thousands children in foster care who turned 18 were let go into the world without "housing, financial assistance or emotional support" (CNN). What's even worse is that numerous non-orphaned children continue to suffer from a lack of attention and care from their parents and live just as if they were orphans or with no guardians. Some of these children end up with depression that can affect them into their adulthood and in the worst case trigger a viscous cycle of non-caring parents for future generations.[About this book]This fictitious story attempts to speak to the unique tragedy that orphaned two siblings, 12 and 13 years old, and recounts the numerous trials and tribulations those siblings must endure from fleeing the city’s orphanage to surviving on their own in the streets with no experience, or clear idea of the world around them. Just peek at the preview of the first chapter and you won't stop reading until the end.
