CHAPTER III.
THE ANGEL MORONI.
When Joseph told of his vision to some of his friends he was surprised to find that they did not believe him, but made fun of what he said.

The strangest thing to the boy was that the preachers of religion, instead of being glad at such glorious news, told him it was from the devil, and that God did not give any more revelations from heaven.

All such things had ceased with the apostles of old, they said.

Another strange thing was that these preachers began to tell untruths about him, and seemed to hate him for what he told.

Still Joseph would not deny his story.
