Minister David Marks recalls being offered a Book of Mormon, 'They urged me to purchase a copy, and finally offered me one for $1,25. "But," said I, "I understood you to say the angel told you to sell it for $1,75.["] They replied, "The angel said we might sell it for that sum, but did not say we should not sell it for any less."'
Marks also recalls hearing Lorenzo Dow preach in 1823. After he and others felt 'a good degree of his Spirit, ... and O ! that the good seed may spring and grow, and bring forth fruit unto eternal life. In the evening Lorenzo preached at the Calvinistic Baptist meeting house. His subject was the tree of life' and free will. [David Marks, Memoirs of the Life of David Marks, (Dover, N.H.)] 1846
