(Chart 24)

NO MIDDLE GROUND

". . .AND IF GOD HAS NOT SPOKEN, IF THE ANGEL OF GOD HAS NOT APPEARED TO JOSEPH SMITH, AND IF THESE THINGS ARE NOT TRUE OF WHICH WE SPEAK, THEN THE WHOLE THING IS AN IMPOSTURE FROM BEGINNING TO END. THERE IS NO HALF-WAY HOUSE, NO MIDDLE PATH ABOUT THE MATTER; IT IS EITHER ONE THING OR THE OTHER."

(John Taylor, 3rd LDS President, Journal Of Discourses, XXI:165)
