Owing to the many reports which have been
put in circulation by evil-disposed and designing persons, in relation
to the rise and progress of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, all of which have been designed by the authors thereof to
militate against its character as a Church and its progress in the
world—I have been induced to write this history, to disabuse the public
mind, and put all inquirers after truth in possession of the facts, as
they have transpired, in relation both to myself and the Church, so far as I have such facts in my possession.

I had now got my mind satisfied so far
as the sectarian world was concerned—that it was not my duty to join
with any of them, but to continue as I was until further directed. I
had found the testimony of James to be true—that a man who lacked wisdom
might ask of God, and obtain, and not be upbraided.
