Of Ui Council ot the Twelve Apostles. MODERN REVELATION. THE MIXEKITES. f1" America is not only a land ot premise reserved for a righteous people, but .it is also a land of refuge for the downtrodden free-do- m and oppressed. 'The Puritans came here seeking - religious when oppression raged in the Old World.- The same is true of earlier Colonies. The Jaredites came seeking land of freedom. The Nephiles came out or Jerusalem because thLord had called them from a land of sin and bondage whose people were , about to go into captivity as a punishment. ' There was also another colony which came to this land of promise from Jerusalem at the time Neiiuchadnciiar was waging war oft the Jews. This colony was also led by tho hand of the Lord. We know very little of their journeying, how they came the number In their company, for they had no records. We end have learned, however; that they brought with them the youngest son of Zedekiah, king, or Judah. Tho Bible states that the sons $. of ..Zedekiah. were stain before his eyes and then the Babylonians put out his eyes and carried him In fetters into Babylon. (2 Kings 2517.) Mulek, son pf Zedekiah, was spared by the power of the and with other fugitives was directed across the great waters to this land. Here they multiplied, but without religious teachings. It was thi people who discovered Coriantumur, the Jaredile, who lived with them for nine months before his death. These sMulekites werejlater discovered by the Ncphites and the .two people became on, the Mulekites being known henceforth as 'Nephites, sharing with! them in the blessings of their faith. Tn brief, such is 0e story told in the Book of Mormon o' . The ancient inhabitants of America. They were highly civilized. land which is 'They worshiped the true and living God, in dedicated to his worship and held in reserve for a righteous people, until they became' Confirmed transgressors. Lot the Gentiles uport this lgnd heed the warning and serve Jesus Christ. lest destruction also come Upon them, for it has been prophesied that the present inhabitants if they turn from the worship of the triie and living God shall bring down upon them tho same destruction, as the inhabitants of the land have' hitherto done. j ; , .3 f j ' ?
