able TO believe that unto the western
fold God sent His shepherds, and
that prophets ohciated amongst them

That the Book OF Mormon would be
rejected by many on the specious and
untenable claim that they already
had a Bible and that there could be
no other Scriptures, the Lord fore
told by the mouth Of ,ne prophet
Nephi:
"And because my words shall hiss
forth, many Of the GentiTes shall say,
A sible! A BibIe! We have got a
Bible, and there cannot be any more
Bible. Know ye not that there
are more nations than one?. Know
have created all men, and that ! re-
of the sea; and that ! rule in the
heavens above, and in the earth be-
meath; and ! bring form my word
unto the children of men, yea, even
upon all the nations Of the earth
Wherefore, ] speak the same
words unto one nation like unto an
other. And when the two nations
shall run together, the testimony Of
the two nations shair run together
also. And I do this that J may prove
unto many, that am the same yes
terday, today, and forever; and that
speak forth my words according TO
mine own pleasure. And because
that have spoken one word, ye need
not suppose that I cannot speak an.
other; for my work is not yet finish
ed; neither shall it be, until the end
of man; neither from that time
henceforth and forever" Book OF
Mormon, 2 Nephi, chap. 29).
1t is noticeable that we make no
reservation respecting the Book OF
Mormon on the ground OF incorrect
translation. To do so would be 10
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
translation 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 so far as cor

Of God. Without it, the world would
be plunged into spiritual gloom
