In 1962 Lancaster published an article in the "Saints' Herald" regarding the translation of the Book of Mormon. Over forty years later he discusses the events leading up to this article and some of the reaction to it after it was published. In it he discussed Joseph Smith's use of seer stones, and he concluded then and still believes today that the Book of Mormon is "not a translation at all" but that it "came from the mind of Joseph Smith through whatever inspiration he might have had."
