Quotes On Cumorah

Here are a few more. I think the site from which these were taken is anti-Mormon. However, the quotes themselves are accurate. Should anyone fret over my use of these quotes I will immediately (or at least as soon as possible) take them down. Here they are: The Church has long maintained, as attested to be referenced in the writings of General Authorities, that the Hill Cumorah in western New York state is the same as referenced in the Book of Mormon.
