“I do not believe that there were two Hill Cumorahs, one in Central America, and the other one in New York, for the convenience of the Prophet Joseph Smith, so that the poor boy would not have to walk clear to Central America to get the gold plates” (The Improvement Era, June 1953, p. 423; “123 Annual Conference of the Church,” April 4-6, 1953, General Conference Report, pp. 83-84).
