Mormonism: its leaders and designs./ By John Hyde.

ANALYSIS OF THE BOOK OF MORMON. 233
life, from the first sign of his advent till his final ascension, as
it is left us by the Evangelist, is definitely foretold. While,
however, it predicts every thing of which we have any account,
it is silent about those things of which we have no account!
His mother should be a virgin, named Mary, who should conceive by the Holy Ghost, p. 227. The star in the east, p.
426. Hie should be born at Jerusalem, p. 227. Not at
Jerusalenm but at Nazareth, p. 20. His name should be
Jesus Christ, pp. 76, 226. Lamb of God who taketh away

pp. 29f 21. Is spitten on, smitten, scourged, p. 45. Crucifled, p. 21. Three days in sepulchre and rises on third day,

America calling themselves Christians one hundred years

this "fitting prophecy to the event " If it were true, it
would be most extraordinary that the Lord should thus singularly favor these Israelites with sob much clearer views of his
scheme of salvation, and, therefore, so signally neglect the
Jews, when the Jews were "his own," and he declares that he
had " cast the Israelites out from his sight."
18. From page 2 to page 428, pretending to embrace a
period from 600 B.C. to A. D., I have counted no less than 298
direct quotations from the New Testament; some of them,
paragraphs of verses; some of them, sentences from verses.
