In extenso, I mean.
1. Australian newspaper.
2. Presbyterian pamphlet.
3. Book from Paulist Press.
4. Book on Martin Luther King Jr.
Take your pick. (Or, add your own.)

Wo, give me some context please!
The interesting part is that except for 1 and 2 they each come from a different text tradition.
Ooops. I lied, Only two text traditions. The odd part about that is that none of them are the standard one. That is interesting in itself.
Dates: Australia — 1855, Presbyterians — 1903, Paulist — 1989, MLK Jr — 1999. The first two from one text tradition (no longer active) the second two from a new tradition. KFD lives, and it lives outside Mormonism!
sources or excerpts would be nice, and fun to read.
Australia = Mormon mission newspaper, Zions Watchman (it had about a 3 year run I think)
Presbyterians= pamphlet published by the Sunday School Teachers assoc. (pretty rare.)
Paulist Press = published “Selected Sermons and Writings of Joseph Smith”
MLK Jr = KFD appears in “American Sermons: The Pilgrims to Martin Luther King Jr.”
The first two used a pretty rare Nauvoo printing from 1845.
The second two used a reconstruction (ok) by Donald Q. Cannon and Larry E. Dahl.
>> Paulist Press = published “Selected Sermons and Writings of Joseph Smith”
Wasn’t this book edited by Jana Riess?
Robert Millet, I believe.
