Summary

December 30-January 5

I was reading a very short notice this past week in a local newspaper that was just over 300 words long. This is not a well-known national periodical, in fact, it’s quite obscure—but the notice I read is probably the most important thing ever published in the news. The paper was The Wayne Sentinel and the date was Friday, March 26, 1830. This was the first announcement that The Book of Mormon was now available to the world.
