Bøger af Orson Spencer

The Author has, for some time, felt desirous to see the most prominent subjects of the faith of Latter-day Saints brought before the public in continuous order, in one volume. This series of Letters was called forth by the letter of inquiry prefixed, from the pen of the Rev. William Crowel. This gentleman was at the time, and still is (for ought I know) Editor of "The Christian Watchman," Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.-a leading paper of the Baptist denomination in the United States. The Editor was also a clergyman of high repute for learning and piety in that denomination of people, and missionary elect to a foreign land.
