Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Contributor, Vol. 2: A Monthly Magazine Representing the Young Men's and Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Associations of the Latter-Day Saints; May, 1881
The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken. Longfellow. They hold that certain persons who es caped from the flood populated their land; these were called the Great Father and Great mother.-hist. Apologetica, ms. Cap. 235 p. 327. The Book of Mormon, as we plainly proved in number one of this series, gives a distinct account of two records had among the ancient inhabitants of this continent, each of which contained a detailed account of the matters which we have hastily brought forward and compiled in this number from authentic records, namely the brass plates brought by Nephi from Jerusalem, 600, B. C., containing a copy of the five Books of Moses; and the same knowledge written previously upon the gold plates of Ether. It would appear unnecessary to make quotations from the Bible on these points for the sake of comparison. To those desiring to do so we refer them to Genesis, chapter vi, I4, 15 16, and chapter vn, 13, 17, 19, 20 23.
