One gentleman asked if we believed in slavery. I told him, No, we did not; “but,” said I, “we believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the Gospel of liberty, for it opens the door of freedom and throws off the fetters of bondage.” “Well,” said he, “do not you believe in freeing the negroes?” I answered, “No; the Lord will do that.” “Ah,” said he, “the Mormons do believe in slavery; for they permit men to bring their slaves into their Territory.” I then went on to show him our views upon the subject; but I could see my remarks did not satisfy the people.
