Excerpt from Mormonism: The Relation of the Church to Christian Sects, Origin and History of Mormonism, Doctrines of the Church, Church Organization, Present StatusRelation of the Church to the Christian Sects - Its Origin - Its History - Its Doctrine - Its organization-its Present Status. It will be seen at a glance th at the limitations of this tract permit only the most summary treatment of the subjects named. The story of the origin and progress'of Mormonism must be told in headlines, its doctrines and the organization of the Church must be set forth in simple and direct state ments. Clearly there is no opportunity for argument to main tain the reasonableness of the Church's position with reference to Christendom, nor the truth of her doctrines. For all that the reader is referred to the more pretentious works of her writers such as Parley P. Pratt's Voice of Warning and Key to Theology Orson Pratt's Works The Articles of Faith, by Dr. James E. Talmage, The Gospel, and A New Witness for God, by the writer of this tract. - All that is aimed at here is to give the merest outline of the few subjects already enumer ated, and yet in some sense make the treatise cover the whole subject about which you are so anxious to obtain information.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
