170 years ago today - Sept. 13-14, 1843

[Joseph Smith] Joseph attends two lectures in the grove by Mr. John Finch, a socialist from England. After Finch's speeches, Joseph makes a few remarks in which he recalls the actual inequality that existed in the supposed equal communitarian societies once set up by Alexander Campbell and Sidney Rigdon and reveals, concerning socialism, "I said I did not believe the doctrine."
