ERA.
when
done
was
unlike
the
first*—
all
these
well
attested
circum-
stances establish
the
fact
of
a
wide-spread
and
bitter
opposition
to
the
coming
forth
of
the
Book
of
Mormon;
and,
failing
in
that,
then
a
determination
to
prevent
its
acceptance
as
a
revelation
from
God
—
all
these
things
make
it
very
easy
to
believe
that
such
a
con-
spiracy against
the
work
as
the
Prophet
describes
in
the
Preface
of
the
first
edition
of
the
Book
of
Mormon,
actually
existed;
and
removes
his
statement
on
that
subject
far
beyond
the
influence
of
the
sneers
and
ridicule
of
those
who
oppose
the
work.

this
incident
is
treated,

the
fact

out
that
the

precautions

from
the

of
such

HELP
OTHERS.
Let
us
help
one
another,
my
sister,
my
brother,
To
bear
now
our
burden
of
pain:
Let
us
speak
the
kind
word;
let
no
harsh
tone
be
heard:
From
conduct
displeasing
refrain.
0
the
smile
or
the
tear
of
sympathy
dear,
Sets
with
rainbows
the
storm-clouds
of
strife:
And
the
"soft
answer"
true,
will
a
mighty
work
do,
To
bring
sunshine
and
health
to
our
life.
Let
us
use
heart
and
mind,
sweet
devices
to
find,
To
comfort,
encourage
and
bless:
And
do
with
our
might,
kind
acts
that
are
right,
And
never,
no
never
oppress.
