Here is a question which has been earnestly asked for more than a century. Over the years numerous answers have been given to it. The books alone which have been written around this query fill many feet of library shelf. It has been the theme of countless magazine articles, newspaper stories, pamphlets, and sermons. In the early days of Mormonism these writings and discourses were motivated largely by a spirit of blind prejudice, for the question was most often asked in an atmosphere of ignorance and bigotry. Fortunately, this has changed.
An honest question deserves an honest answer. What of the Mormons? Who are they? What do they believe? What is their program? What is their organization? What is their history?
This writing is a brief answer to these questions. Of necessity, only the highlights of the subject have been dealt with. For the student or investigator who wishes to study further numerous published works are generally available.
