Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 84: March 16, 1922 Under these headings, the Plymouth Western Evening Herald of February 2ud, ult., publishes a communication from Elder Harvey D. Hansen, one of the two missionaries recently mobbed while holding an Open-air meeting in that historic town. The Plymouth paper, by way of introduction, says: Since it is the policy of the Herald to give both Sides, we have consented to publish a denial of Miss Agnes Lister's story of her experience among the Mormons, ' written by Mr. H. D. Hansen, a missionary now in Plymouth. And then follows Elder Hansen's denial: It is by no means improbable that the name Agnes C. Lister is as fictitious as the story. I was born and raised in Utah, have traveled extensively throughout the Western States, and I testify that the accusations against the Mormon Church are vicious, inconsistent, and maliciously false. The root of prejudice against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints arises from the claim we set forth in the official name. The Church has been opposed from its infancy, not only because of plural marriage. The greatest persecution was endured before polygamy was practiced. The Prophet Joseph Smith was murdered in cold blood by a mob led by a Protestant minister because he bore a testimony similar to the Apostle Paul that he seen God. Because of upholding this testimony, sealed with his blood, we are slandered, misrepresented, and persecuted in some sections of the country.
