Trying the Spirits by Angels’ Hair Color
Times and Seasons, Vol. 3, No. 11, April 1, 1842, pp. 744, 747 “One great evil is that men are ignorant of the nature of spirits; their power, laws, 
government, intelligence &c., and imagine that when there is anything like power, revelation, or vision manifested that it must be of God…for nothing is a greater injury to the children of men than to be under the influence of a false spirit, when they think they have the spirit of God. Thousands have felt the influence of its terrible power, and baneful effects…The world always mistook false prophets for true ones, and those that were sent of God they considered to be false prophets…How it may be asked was this known to be a bad angel? by the color of his hair; that is one of the signs that he can be known by, and by his contradicting a former revelation.” – Joseph Smith
