“Joseph Smith joined the Masons to promote goodwill towards his people. He was true to his Masonic pledges. But Masonry could not overcome the hatred fired by untruth, when truth raised its banner. The experiment was a failure. The formation of the Nauvoo lodge rather hindered than helped the cause of the Church.”  John A. Widtsoe, Joseph SmithSeeker after Truth, Prophet of God [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1951], 300.
