The history of the Mormons in POI

Saints, OF Mormon people cannot
be considered in any way nnart from
their beliefs; as far as they may, or can
they are a capitalization and physt-
cal expression of views and p!liloso-
plies that are broader and deeper
than the superficial observer Will UNI
derstand. There are few people in the.
world that can be so closely linked
with a steady purpose. Essentially
they are pioneers.
UNTRAVELED PATH,

travelled fora century and a half. and,
K bravely following it, became pioneers

ed Christianity with a holiness that
could only be justified by it's honesty,
