A Bible! A Bible! We have got q
Bible, and there cannot be any more
Bible. . = Know ye not that there
are more nations than one? Know ye
not that /, the Lord your God. have
created all men, and that remember
those who are upon the isles of the
! sea; and that / rule in the heavens
above, and in the earth beneath; and
I bring forth my word unto the Chill
dren OF men, yea, even upon all the
nations of the earth? Wherefore muir
mur ye, because that ye shall receive
more of my word? Know ye not that
the testimony of two nations Is a
| witness unto you that am God, that
I remember one nation like unto an
other? Wherefore, I speak the same
words unto ono nation like unto an
another. And when the two nations
shall run together, the testimony OF
the two nations shall run together
also. And do this that I may prove
unto many, that am the same yester-
day, today, and forever; and that
speak forth my words according to
mine own pleasure. And because that
1 have spoken one word, ye need not
| suppose that cannot speak another;
for my work is not yet finished;
neither shall 1t be, until the end OF
man; neither from that time hence
forth and forever. Wherefore, because
that ye have a Bible, ye need not
suppose that it contains all my words;
| neither need ye suppose that I have
not caused more to be written: -
For behold, shall speak unto the
Jews, and they shall write it; and l
shall also speak unto the Nephites,
1 eI ekol
also speak unto the other tribes of the
house of Israel, which I have led
away, and they shall write It; and 1
shall also speak unto all nations OF
the earth, and they shall write it.
And 1t. shall come to pass that the
Jews Shall have the words OF the
Nephites. and the Nephites shall have
! the words of the Jews; and the
Nephites and the Jews shall have the
words of the lost tribes of Israel; and
the lost tribes OF Israel shall have
the words Of the Nephites and the
Jews" (Book Of Mormon, . Nephi
chap. 29.)
Thus is predicted the bringing forth
Of yet other Scriptures, not extant
among known nations today, viz, the
records of the Lost Tribes Of Israel,
to whom the Book of Mormon AYERS
the Resurrected Christ went to min
lister after His visitation to the Ne
phites. In the present or last dis
pensation numerous revelations have
been given by Jesus Christ to His
modern prophets. Many Of these are
before the world in the volume of lat
ter-day Scripture known as the Doc
trine G Covenants.
| 1t Is noticeable that we make no
reservation respecting the Book OF
Mormon on the ground of incorrect
translation. To do so would be to
ignore attested facts as to the bring
ing forth of that book. Joseph Smith,
the prophet, seer and revelator,
through whom the ancient record has
been translated into our modern
tongue, expressly AYERS that the trans
lation was effected through the gift
and power Of God, and is in no sense
the product Of linguistic scholarship.
The Bible in Its original form, and
IN modern versions also so far as
correctly translated, contains the
Word Of God. Without it, the world
would be plunged into spiritual gloom.
nevertheless there are other Scrip
lures already published, and YET
| OTHERS, ARE TO COME.
For the Book of Mormon Doctrine
and Covenants, Articles Of Faith, and
other literature OF the Church, apply
TO any Of the Missions. among which
are: Eastern States Mission, I14o Bed
