Church History Gems: Joseph Smith Was Taught of God

Gems on Church HistoryJoseph Smith Was Taught of God
—————————————————

“Joseph Smith was quite an uneducated man. He was uneducated when hewas a boy. He was brought up in the Green Mountains of Vermont, and he didnot have any of the advantages of what we call an education. The Lord tookhim into His school, and He taught him things that I have seen puzzle manyof the wisest scientists, profoundest thinkers, and the most learned menthat I have met with in this world. Why? Because he was taught of God. . . And he sought to teach others.”
