Yesterday’s answer:
D Ministers bad mouthing Joseph Smith
From the life of Ephraim Knowlton Hanks: Ephraim was
discharged in New York in 1844 and returned to his home in Ohio. In the
meantime his father had died and his brother had joined the Church. Through
being warned in a dream the latter paid a visit to his mother’s home and there
met his returned brother, Ephraim, to whom he related how he (the brother) had
been miraculously healed from a bad case of rupture through the administrations
of the Elders. The mother being displeased with her son who had joined the
“Mormon” Church, induced Ephraim to call in three of the ablest sectarian
preachers in the neighborhood. They came promptly and discussed with his
brother, but were beaten in the argument. As usual in such cases, the ministers
got angry and commenced to abuse the baptized brother; they also called Joseph
Smith a murderer, a horse thief, a black leg, etc., adding that all his
followers were like him. This accusation raised the ire of Ephraim, who
immediately seized a chair and drove the three ministers out of the house,
declaring at the same time that henceforth he would remain a friend and
defender of Joseph Smith. He kept his word. Ephraim now went to Chicago, Ill.,
and reached Nauvoo in 1845. Here he was baptized by Horace S. Eldredge.
