A body of about 200 membersexists in Providence. Some 600 members are in the district. Since 1863 missionaries of this body have been at work in Utah, and a chapel has recently been built in Salt Lake City. The headquarters of the denomination are now at Lamoni, Iowa. with about 400 members. Elder Gilbert‘s sermon was upon the " Book of Mormon." Mormon, he said- is the name of a man who lived upon this‘ continent and kept a record of the peopl to which he belonged. He was the last prophet of his race, and so these records are called the Book of Mormon. This book Claims to be the history of the dealings of God with this people on this continent. and the statements of the book are corroborated by discoveries ct antiquities. The exist- ence of large sides and fossil animals in Central America, mentioned in the Book of Mormon, before their recent discovery, show that the book is accurate and help to prove its claim to be inspired. The first edition of the Book of Mormon was printed in 1830. and the time between the closing of the record by Moroni, the son of Mormon, and the revelation of Joseph Smith, was about 1,400 years. The records were made on plates having the appear- ance of gold, and the character was what is knowu as -" reformed Egyptian." an improvement which was made after the people came to this country. They were deposited in the hill Cumorah, near Palmyra, New York, and Joseph Smith lobtained them by revelation by an angel. 1 He translated them into English by means of stones called the Urim and Thummim, Three other witnesses said that they also saw the angel. and be revealed the platesto them as well as to Joseph Smith. Then ’ they heard a voice of God telling them to’ 1bear testimony to the world. Afterward the plates were shown to eight other wit- nesses. The Book of Mormon purports to be a record of the tribe of Joseph after it left Palestine, and it is argued that the Hebrew Scriptures corroborate it. The passage in Genesis xlix. 22 26. of the King James versions is held to show that Joseph‘s descendant would emi- grate “ unto the utmost bound of the ever- lasting hills," which means America. Deuteronomy xxxiii. 3-17, speaking of Joseph as “ him that was separated from his brethren," is held to show the same thing. Ezekiel xxxvii. 15.20 is another proof passage. The sticks are the record of Judah and the record of Joseph. and‘ their coming together shall come to pass just before the gathering of Israel. Isaiah xxix. 11-12. referring to the sealed book, had in mind the Book of Mormon. This book is claimed to contain the same gospel as the New Testament; teaches faith in the Father and in Christ. repentance from sin. baptism by imuiursion for the remis- eion 0! sins, and :he laying on of hands for the reception of the Holy Spirit ; it shows that the organization of the Mormon Church is the same as that of the early Christian Church. The passage, Jilm x. 16, “ And other sheep I have which are not 0! this fold." etc.. relates to the people on this continent. Christ came to this conti- nent and performed a mission here, just as He did in Palestine. and a record of that mission is in the Book of Mormon.-â€"Boston Advertiser. ‘ The comei has not disappeared.
