Mr. Harris was then on his first mission, sent out by the Prophet Joseph Smith, who had just founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This meeting of an anxious seeker after truth, with Mr. Ha1ris, one of the witnesses of the Book of Mormon, was, indeed, a capital event 1n the life of David 011111. He was not only searehing after Scriptural truths, but he had become intensely interested in the history of the aboriginal inhabitants of America. For be it known that young David had for some time previous to this, studied such accounts of the discoveries of the antiquities of the western world as came in his possession which so wrought up his desires, that when he had his interview with Martin Harris on the canal boat, and the Book of Mormon history of the ancient inhabitants was briefly explained to him, he was carried away from the dogmas of re ligious denominations, then extant, and became a ready convert to the doctrines taught by the young Prophet. His connection with the Church by baptism soon followed, and his love for truth continued through life. So that his last days were marked with the same faith and integrity to the Church and Priesthood, that inspired him in the days of his conversion. Not content with the recital alone of Martin Harris, he wended his way tr Kirtland, where the Great Prophet was holding meetings, ard there he became more deeply interested in the divine story from the Prophet's own lip.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
