Didn't he see Moroni or another angel or a chameleon  or something in 1823?
I had a first edition of "A Pearl Of Great Price" (1851),and some other 
assorted bound pamplets, a number of years ago.  Traded it to a guy in Utah 
for some books I wanted.  And, yes, I knew what I had ,and its value, 
considering its condition.

Didn't Brigham Young have a beard?  I'm ceratin I've seen a photo <g> of 
Jesus wearing a beard, too.

Christians are no different than any other group with a point of view.  They 
have simply been more effective.  And, no one, regardless of belief or 
non-belief, would argue with the actual teachings of Christ.  

Look up when Mr. Smith met that angel.  You would know more than I would, but 
I believe I remember the date correctly (of course I called my mother in 
March for her birthday, which is actually in May --messesd up with the 
"M's").......bobford
