4th Article of Faith - Walter Scott

[_Uncle Dale]

I don't suppose the Scott-Smith meeting was very
cordial -- or productive.

Wait. Scott and Smith met? According to who?

Near the end of his comments, Elder Scott says: "We once conversed with the impostor himself." By this he probably means the June, 1831 meeting he had with Joseph Smith, Jr. and Sidney Rigdon, at Cincinnati. See the LDS History of the Church, Vol. 1, p. 188, where Smith says: "We went by wagon, canal boats, and stages to Cincinnati, where I had an interview with the Rev. Walter Scott, one of the founders of the Campbellites, or Newlight church. Before the close of our interview, he manifested one of the bitterest spirits against the doctrine of the New Testament (that "these signs shall follow them that believe," as recorded in Mark the 16th chapter,) that I have ever witnessed."

So Walter Scott did not directly influence Joseph in the writing of the Book of Mormon. They met after the publication.

Thanks UD!
