Show Martin Harris. We had a call yesterday morning from Elder Edward Stevenson, who introduced Martin Harris, one of the "three witnesses" to the Book of Mormon. Mr. Harris is now eighty-eight years of age, and is remarkably lively and energetic for his years. He holds firmly to the testimony tes-timony he has borne for over forty years, that an angel appeared before him and the other witnesses, and showed show-ed them the plates upon which the characters of the Book of Mormon were inscribed. After being many years separated from the body of the Church, he has come to spend the evening of life among the believers in that Book to which he is so prominent a witness. Mr. Harris, who has a number of relatives in the Territory, came from the east under the care of Elder Stevenson. |
