Brother Hiram Page had in his
possession a certain stone, by which he had obtained certain
'revelations' concerning the upbuilding of Zion, the order of the
Church, etc., all of which were entirely at variance with the order of
God's house.... The Whitmer family and Oliver Cowdery, were believing
much in the things set forth by this stone... (Smith 1902, 1:109-110)
================================================================
I have a few stones that I will sell at a modest price to anyone
wanting to start their own religion. I will even throw in a couple of
bricks and a pebble if the price is right. Guaranteed to fit in your
hat.
Do not delay. Act now!
Items will be delivered in a plain brown wrapper.
