"We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated
correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

"We believe all that God has revealed, all that he does now reveal, and we
believe that he will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining
to the kingdom of God.

"We believe in the literal gathering of Israel, and in the restoration of
the ten tribes; that Zion will be built upon this continent; that Christ
will reign personally upon the earth; and that the earth will be renewed
and receive its paradisaic glory.

"We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty God according to the
dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them
worship how, where, or what, they may.

"We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and
magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent virtuous, and in
doing good to _all men_. Indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition
of Paul,--we 'believe all things, we hope all things;'--we have endured many
things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is any thing
virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these
things."

tent in the wilderness, near the Red Sea, and sent back his sons
to Jerusalem, who persuaded one Ishmael and his family to
accompany them to their father Lehi. The Lord promised to lead
them to a choice land above all lands; therefore they set out on
their journey for this land. After a long and tedious journey,
they came to the great waters, or the ocean. Nephi, the son of
Lehi, who was also a prophet, and their pilot, or leader, in the
wilderness, was commanded and instructed to build a ship
