Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 97: January 24, 1935The explanation of the power of Joseph Smiths name is not found in the epithets delusion or impostor. It is found in the deep vital fact that he was a divine restorer of eternal truth.His real career commenced in 1820, when he was given an actual vision of the Father and the Son. That year Herbert Spencer was born. The names of both these men have been heard around the world. The one is the synonym of doubt. The other stands for super faith. The one connotes agnosticism. The other symbolizes a living belief. They both strove to find the same thing - the knowledge of God. Herbert Spencer used the key of reason and Speculation, and Joseph Smith used the key of faith and devotion. Herbert Spencer sought to find God through an endless analysis of the crust of things. Joseph Smith went by faith-inspired prayer right into the presence of God. Herbert Spencer ended his long life saying, God is unknowable. Joseph Smith, when only a boy of fourteen, saw the Maker of all, and heard the Voice that stilled the storm and stayed the wave.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
