Mr. Durant of Salt Lake City, "that Mormon"

Mr. Durant of Salt Lake City: "That Mormon" – is a book, which was published in 1899 and written by Ben E. Rich, leading missionary and spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the early 20th century. He was also a writer, publisher, and active in politics. Mormonism is a topic that many authors have dealt with. Some wrote in her favor with prayerful hearts, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit as their sincere convictions were recorded; while others opposed the Mormons and the man who was an instrument in the hands of God for the foundation of their faith. Some of the latter were honest in their attacks, perhaps believing that they were doing the will of the Lord by opposing them; but most of them were guided by hatred in everything they said about it. The author of this work has attempted to present the faith of the Latter-day Saints in simple and understandable terms, desiring to help and interest the young people of Mormondorn who have not had missionary experience, and to prepare them to declare their faith to the nations of the earth, if they are called for this purpose. If this book will benefit them and give others a better understanding of the Latter-day Saints and their religion, the purpose of its publication will be served.
