The Essential Joseph Smith, pp 200-201; “I see no faults in the church. Let me be resurrected with the Saints, whether to heaven or hell or any other good place—good society. What do we care if the society is good? Don’t care what a character is if he’s my firend. A friend, a true friend, and I will be a friend to him. Friendship is the grand fundamental principle of Mormonism, to revolution[ize and] civilize the world, [to] pour forth love…I do not dwell upon your faults. You shall not upon mine. After you have covered up all the faults among you the prettyest thing is [to] have no faults at all. Meek, quiet, &c. [If] Presbyterians [have] any truth, embrace that. Baptist, Methodist, &c. Get all the good in the world. Come out a pure Mormon.” [sic]
