Interesting!

     If the freedom of religion guaranteed to us by law in theory can ever rise in practice under the overbearing inquisition of public opinion, truth will prevail over fanaticism, and the genuine doctrines of Jesus, so long perverted by his pseudo-priests, will again be restored to their original purity.  This reformation will advance with the other improvements of the human mind, but too late for me to witness it. (Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Jared Sparks dated  November 4th, 1820)

     Mr. Jefferson died July 4, 1826

     The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was organized June 6, 1830
