Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: April 23, 1914
I believe that thus far in my remarks I have gone 110 further than all will be forced to follow. N ow I come to the point which would likely meet with most opposition from those who dislike our system of belief. But here, again, I no more than use the words of Mr. Fisher, whom I am quoting so freely. We are told, and we believe it with all our hearts, that Christianity, when it is compared with the other religions of the world, is seen to be the one true, or absolute religion, giving 11s a knowledge of God, of the destiny of man, of the nature of sin and of the glory in store for us. And now for the point which would raise a cry of protest. Mormonism compares as favorably with sectarianism as does the latter with Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, or Shintoism. The restoration of the gospel gave us a true knowledge of God, making Him, using the words of this book, qualified, therefore, for conscious intercourse and fellowship with man. Fisher says, Man is declared to be made in the image of God, and we have learned that that is true in very deed. Mormonism offers the most satisfactory explanation of the destiny of man, and holds out to' him the greatest possibilities of any known religion; and it teaches us the proper way to obtain that salvation which God has prepared for us. And something more. Mormonism furnishes a new stimulus to faith in God and His Son, and it explains the possibility of all men of all ages receiving salvation by accepting vicarious ordinances performed here in their behalf. We claim, further, that our religion is scriptural, which is a great point in our favor. With the above few comparisons in mind, does not the religion established through Joseph Smith Show the divinity of his mission?
