The World:—We have heard a great deal concerning that young man. It has been reported that he declared he had seen God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
Latter-day Saints:—Such, indeed, was his testimony, and tens of thousands of us have received testimonies from the Lord that he spoke the truth.
The World:—We will hear him for ourselves.
TESTIMONY OF JOSEPH SMITH.
The World:—Your name is Joseph Smith, Jr.?
Joseph Smith:—It is.
The World:—Are you the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
Joseph Smith:—I was simply an humble instrument in the hands of the Lord in re-establishing, according to the revelations of God, the Church of Christ upon the earth.
The World:—So, you profess to have received revelations from God?
Joseph Smith:—I do. More than that: I have seen God and His Son Jesus Christ, and have talked with them.
