I at One time took a couple of Appostates Henry and John Serman to See Martin Harris. One of them asked Mr. Harris if he believed the Book of Mormon to bee true and he told them no. They told him they had heard that he had never Denied the truth of the Book. he told them that he knew it was true and that was past believing.
