{{translate}}
===The attitudes of Joseph Smith and his contemporaries toward "magic" was always negative===

In 1841, Wilford Woodruff recounted an episode of Church disciplinary action:

<blockquote>
The President then brought up the case of a Br Moumford, who was holding the office of a Priest, from whome fellowship had been withdrawn by the council of officers in consequence of his practizing fortune Telling, Magic, Black art &c & called upon Elders Woodruff & Cordon to express their feelings upon the subject when Elder Woodruff arose, & spoke Briefly upon the subject, & informed the assembly that we had no such custom or practice in the Church, & that we should not fellowship any individual who Practiced Magic fortune Telling, Black art &c for it was not of God. When It was moved & carried by the whole church that fellowship be withdrawn from Br Moumford.<ref>Wilford Woodruff, Journal, 28 March 1841; also cited in {{WWJ1|vol=2|start=75}}</ref>
</blockquote>

And, most importantly, the Book of Mormon's treatment of "magic" or "sorcery" is ''always'' negative, which seems strange if (as we are asked to believe by the critics) Joseph Smith concocted it while at the same time embracing that same "magic."
