Here we have another prophet that
! gives the same testimony % the nation
unto whom he wrote that Paul does, 90
! almost the Identical language, because
/ both OF them spoke aud wrote by the
| Spirit OF God. But the Prophet
| Moroni explains more fully
/ even than Paul does concern.
ING these gifts He said Chat 10 the
! day cumc,h that the power aud gifts of
/ God shall De done away among YOU. DO
| shall De because OF unbelici" Not Dee.
| cause God Is not willing to bCstow gifts
| up1n His children, for as this prophet
/ SAYS. "God rs not a partial God, neither
a chaugelblc Being; but he Is unChaugu.
able from lll eternity TO all eternity. "
His dealings with the children Of men
are alike. n they come 20 him with
faith and obey His Gospel, lie Is bound
by the promises that He has made 20 be.
STOW upon them the same blessings. and
not 10 discriminate between HIS chill.
drcn; for II He did so, lie would not be
lust Being. But Justice Is his attribute,
and lie deals Justly with His children.
lie gives unto them His gifts and bless
sings according 10 their faith. To one
He gives one gift, 90 another lie gives
another gin. These gifts are given by
/ Him for the berfpctiuu of His peonle.
