4. _The Writings of Joseph Smith in the Pearl of Great Price:_ Of
the writings of Joseph Smith in the Pearl of Great Price little need
be said as they speak for themselves. It is the Prophet's simple yet
attractive and powerful narrative of those events which pertain to the
beginning of the great Latter-day work, the opening of the Dispensation
of the Fulness of Times. It is comprised within a very few pages--23
in all--and merely gives the story of the Prophet's birth and first
call by heavenly vision to the restoration of the Priesthood by the
administration of John the Baptist, in the month of May, in the
year 1829, and a quotation from the Wentworth Letter (See Note --)
comprising the Articles of Faith. Yet brief and limited as are these
writings, they are invaluable because of their authenticity, their
beautiful simplicity, and the spirit of truth that pervades them and
infuses them with a convincing power.
