“The Evil Spirit Teacheth Not”
a man to pray] The true servant of the Lord has ever been found testifying of his message and challenging those to whom he speaks to seek a spiritual confirmation of it. “Ask of God!’ has been his affirmation, for he ”giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not.“ If a person seeks to know the verity of the Book of Mormon, he should accept the challenge to read it, ponder is teachings and ask of God with an honest heart. Yet we know full well that no opponent of the Book of Mormon would ever stand before his congregation, inviting them to read it and pray to know of its truthfulness. All manner argument is used against Joseph Smith and our testimony that he is a prophet. Yet we never hear of the Prophet’s opponents inviting others to read the Joseph Smith story, as he himself told it, and then pray to know of its truthfulness.”
