covenanted with them that I 1 would gather them together in mine own due time that I 1 would give unto them again the land of their fathers which is the land of jerusalem which is the promised land unto them forever baith faith the father fathers v 29 the time for of this promise was also given by the sav lor in the same connection after declaring that hla hia words then spoken should be brought

coming forth of the book of mormon its translation and the preaching of its truths to all ali nations the gathering of the saints the persecutions eney have endured are all events portrayed in the book boob and evidences of its divinity anu ana the tha fact that now when the remnants left of the land and are beginning to come to a knowledge of their forefathers to learn that they are aie a remnant of the house of israel to understand the gospel of christ and to forsake their savagery eav hav agery and learn to serve the lord the way la Is actually being prepared for the jews to occupy reoccupy re the land of palestine is another proof of the divine origin of the book which has foretold these things in the plainest language and if wo we wish for further information of the pur purposes poss of the almighty concerning the events that are shortly to take place upon the earth it can be obtained by searching in humility and faith the pages of the tho book of mormon As we have stated in other articles c ebs ess the Latt erday saints are intensely interested in the work of the jewish restoration it ia Is part of the program gramme pro me of the latter day work to which they are called and which Is their special mission they are as sure that it will be accomplished as they are that the lord has gathered them from frum among the nations to build up zion and at the proper time to establish a new kew jerusalem upon this western continent the work of the eather father has commenced among many of the tribes of the L am aultes by vision by the spirit poured out from irom on high highs by the softening ening of their hearts and the open manifestations of his power to their repentance tanca and reclamation and this Is a sign that the movement now going on in europe
