Early devotee to the Mormon church David Whitmer issues here his
famous missive addressed to all the Christians on Earth. Testifying
to the existence of the golden plates discovered by Joseph Smith in
New York state, David Whitmer expounds upon the principles of
Mormonism and encourages readers to heed his declaration. More
controversially, we hear Whitmer's account of how the church
gravitated to unusual beliefs and practices such as polygamy.
Writing late in his life during the 1880s, the elderly Whitmer
decries this practice and other events as examples of Latter Day
Saints church leadership going astray. Thus, while the author
praises Joseph Smith for using his gifts of prophecy and charisma
to found the Mormon movement, he is not commending of the founder's
later actions. The abiding message is that God is the ultimate
judge of our behaviors, and that it is God who will decide upon the
fates of all individuals when they perish and their souls traverse
the afterlife.
