A Prophet Testifies

President George Albert Smith

"The Book of Mormon is a sacred record containing information that is found in no other book. The Lord has commanded us to divide with all his children the truths of the everlasting Gospel that have been revealed to prepare them for a place in the Celestial kingdom. …

"It fills my heart with joy to know that every man who will read [the Book of Mormon] prayerfully, every man who will desire to know whether it be of God or not has the promise, not of Joseph Smith or any living being, but the promise of our Heavenly Father that they shall know of a surety that it is of God."

President George Albert Smith (1870–1951), in Conference Report, Apr. 1936, 13–14, 15.
