new news since it has pleased the he publishers of appleton A to asbert assert that the article artiel mormons Mor mons was written by one of our bur most intelligent tell igent and impartial contributors mr robert carter and Is en 0 irely rely correct corr act and just iu in all its otate statements nt I 1 an and d as in that article it Is stated that tb the othree three ethree witnesses to the book of mormon in subsequent years renounced mormonism and avowed the falsity of their testimony will appleton be kind hind enough to tell us how when where or to whom the three witnesses made this avowal we ive will wait in patience for their reply and whilst so doing will lay before them a few facts which it is impossible sible or them to controvert cowdery two of the witnesses have passed into the presence pres preE ence enee of their 0 god d the third david whitmer is a til all numbered amongst the living we will notice the testimonies of J leach c of the three separately at a special conference heid held held heid at council blutza buffs iowa on ou the of october 1848 oliver cowdery was present elder orson oraon hyde presided at that conference bishop B R miller of mill creek was also there to either of these we refer to substantiate stant late the truth of our statement bro cowdery nel arl addressed dresse od that conference and among other things herald hebald he baid said friends and brethren my name Is cowdery oliver olivet cowdery I 1 wrote with my own pen the entire book of mormon mornion ten fen sav save 0 a 9 few pages as it fell from the lips tips of the prophet joeph joseph smith as he translated it by the gift and arld power of god by the means of the and Thum mim lm or as it is called by iby that book holy interpreter r beheld with my eyes and handled with my hands the gold plates from which it was transcribe tran scrib ed I 1 also saw with my eyes and handled with my hands the holy interpreters that book is true sidney rigdon brigdon did not write it mr spaulding did not write it I 1 wrote it myself as it fell from the lips of the prophet bro cowdery we call him brother though at that time he was not a member of the church said much mo rebut this is the portion of his testimony which more particularly refutes appleana Ap Apple appie pleona tonal baseless babe base leaa assertion oliver cowdery died in richmond mo the year following elder P H young who was present at the time says ahls chis his last mo ments werd were spent in bearing beating testimony of the truth of tho gospel re pealed through joseph smith and the he power of the holy priesthood which he had bad received through his administration mr young is still alive and if appleton desire to communicate with him they can do so by addressing a letter to this city and what of martin harris he has been dead but a short time and there are thousands of living witnesses in utah today to day of which your correspondent is one who have heard beard him bear record of the divine authenticity of the book 0 of mormon and that the testimony mony MODY that lie he bere bero that he had seen the plates from which the book was translated was true as also his declaration cl ol that an angel of god laid them before his eyes and that he had been commended of god to bear record of the fact but Buti it may be argued that martin harris was again received into the church in hla hia declining years and this last t testimony was given after he was so admitted if it that argument has any force we will take hla hia testimony given a quarter quarte of a century ago when he was an outcast to the mormon church and when it could not be claimed that the infer of years had impaired his memory or weakened hla hia intellect this record is from a statement of mr D B dille who called upon mr harris at his residence at kirtland linda ohio sometime in 1853 and was waa published at the time mr dille asked mr harris what do you think of the book of mormon la Is it a divine record ing is 18 the tho reply 1 I was wag the right hand band man of joseph smith and 1 1 know that he be was a prophet of god I 1 know the book of mor mormon mon MOD is true I 1 1 know that ea the plates have been translated by the gift and po power powen wen of god for his hia voice declared it unto us therefore I 1 know of a surety that the work if Is true for did I 1 not at one time hold the plates on my knee an ho hour and a half ahil whilst qt in connection with joseph and as many of the plates as joseph mith smith translated I 1 handled with my hands bands plate after plate 11 again some 40 years ago a gentleman now residing reading I 1 in D this city met martin marlin harris in Kitt kift land ohio the following conversation ensued 1 I believe your name is martin harris yes 91 1 I want to ask you if you leally did see the plates from which the book of mormon was translated do you see aee that sun in yonder heavens ta mr harris pointing upwards yes and just as plainly and distinctly did I 1 see the plates from which the book of mormon was translated here her thim then we have four of this mans man s testimonies given at diffie rodt period his ilfe life when he was a EL member of the church and when he was not hot the first that testimony contained in the book of 0 mormon the next in 1837 the third in 1853 and the fourth repeatedly peat edly within the last few years
