CHAPTER VI.
THE THREE WITNESSES.
All who read this book ought to turn to one of the first pages of the Book of Moromon and read a paragraph signed by three men whose names are Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris.

You will notice in that paragraph that these men bear a most solemn witness that the book is true; that an angel of God came to them with the plates and laid them before their eyes; and that they were translated by the gift and power of God.
The three names signed to this testimony are so important that I wish to tell you something about these men.

You have learned a little about them already, but here is a good place to tell you something more about their lives.
[Illustration: THE THREE WITNESSES.] Martin Harris was a farmer who became acquainted with Joseph about the time he received the plates.

You will remember that Martin visited Joseph in Pennsylvania and did some writing for him.

Martin Harris was the man who took some of the writings copied from the plates, with their translation, to the city of New York, and showed them to a learned man named Professor Anthon.
