The Only Hope of Freedom from Mormonism.

One who speaks from personal experience on this subject has this to say in the Pacific Union Recorder:
"The truth as contained in the Third Angel's Message alone can set them free. Christ as a personal Saviour is the light that needs to shine into their hearts. The true temple service, as connected by the Holy Spirit with each individual, can alone eradicate from the mind the superstitious regard paid to the work in temples made by hands; and the true knowledge of the nature of man and his condition in death can alone sap the foundation of Mormonism, which is revelation that often came through the ministration of so-called angels purporting to be the spirits of those long since dead. For example, the Book of Mormon was revealed through the ministration of such an one; an individual purporting to be a man who once lived and died upon this continent, coming, according to the Mormon story, with the knowledge of the book's existence to the original prophet of the Mormon people. Likewise, the authority to baptize purports to be derived from John the Baptist, who also is said to have appeared as an angel. In the same manner came the authority to lay on hands for the reception of the Holy Ghost through those purporting to be Peter, James, and John. Hence, it is seen that the Third Angel's Message alone can eradicate the roots of Mormonism from the mind. Mormonism has the same root as spiritism."
