The
prophet would speak a sentence to be written by a scribe engaged for
that purpose, the scribe would say, "it is written," and if
written correctly the sentence before the prophet would disappear and
another sentence would appear likewise, but if not written correctly
by the scribe the sentence would remain; and after the necessary correction
had been made, the sentence would disappear. Many years ago Father Porter
related to me that it was shown unto him, that by the aid of the Urim
and Thummim the Prophet could see a sentence as if in gold letters,
which he would read, and when it was written another sentence would
appear. Martin Harris stated to me as above that when he had written
the sentence that was presented, if written correctly it would disappear
and another sentence would appear, and so continue. (Edward Stevenson, Reminiscences of Joseph the Prophet, p. 30) |
