The Mormons
New York Evangelist, v10 n36, 7 September 1839, p. 143
THE MORMONS.—We are informed that the Mormon missionaries held a two days woods meeting in Uwchlan township, Chester Co. on Saturday and Sunday last. What strange infatuation will seize the brains of men when heated by the plausibilities of deluded fanatics! We go by heart and soul for religious toleration; but we are pained to see reasonable men abandoning the sheet anchor of their salvation, to lay hold of the miserable impostures, or at best delusions, of Joe Smith.—[ West Chester (Pa.) Record.
