August 5, 1854 Millennial Star vs. Elden Watson's Adam-God Apologetic

  

[The Saints] are lacking faith on one principle—the last “cat that was let out of the bag.” Polygamy has been got over pretty well, that cloud has vanished away, but they are troubled Adam being our Father and God. There is a very intelligent person investigating our principles, and who has been a great help to the Saints; he has all the works, and can get along very well with everything else but the last “cat,” and as soon as he can see that clearly, he will become a “Mormon.” I instructed him to write to Liverpool on it. [Joseph Hall] Relative to the principles recently revealed, we have not the last difficulty. If Adam’s being our Father and God cannot be proved by the Bible, it is fall right. ("Minutes of the Special General Conference," The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, 16, no. 31 [August 5, 1854]: 483, emphasis added)
