It is one thing to see the kingdom of God, and another thing to enter into it. We must have a change of heart to see the kingdom of God, and subscribe the articles of adoption to enter therein.

One of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may.

Truth is Mormonism. God is the author of it.

Mormonism is the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ; of which I myself am not ashamed.

Let us this very day begin anew, and now say, with all our hearts, we will forsake our sins and be righteous.
