"The question has been ask whether I find an good in Mormonism. In regard to the Mormon religion I answer most emphatically, none. The more I examine it, the more I am convinced that the whole thing is conceived in sin and begotten in iniquity. It may truly be said to be the conception of him, who is the Father of lies. But as to the Mormon people, I find much that I regard as good, not because they are Mormons, but because they are humanity. My argument is not against the individual for I recognize him as my brother, but against the system." [Preface]
