NARRATOR
As Joseph prepared himself to receive the gold plates, news of his curious story spread to neighbors and the local clergy who responded with scoffs and vicious ridicule
PREACHER
He's seen no such thing!
He ain't seen no vision!
His ludicrous tales hold our God in derision!
He should hold his tongue,
Quit telling his stories,
Cause men much more vulgar than I won't stay idle for long,
They'll seek glory
In seeing him silenced!
