In 1905 the Toronto Daily Star printed an interview in which Richard C. Evans of the Reorganized Church attacked the Utah Latter-day Saints over blood atonement and polygamy. Joseph Fielding Smith, later president of the LDS Church, replied in open letters, and this pamphlet prints the whole exchange, arguing over doctrine and whether plural marriage began with Joseph Smith.

A pointed document of the rivalry between Mormon churches, of interest to historians of American religion. Download the free EPUB.
