Corianton: A Nephite Story
Roberts, B. H. (Brigham Henry)
Latter Day Saints -- Fiction
En route they passed through several villages, and on such occasions
were everywhere questioned in relation to the curse which had fallen
upon Korihor, of which they had heard conflicting rumors. The young
men gave to those inquiring correct information, though Corianton in
testifying to the existence of God, and to the truth, was not always
as humble or merciful to those who were not yet converted as was
conformable to the spirit of the gospel, or consistent with the
position which he himself had so lately occupied. It is ever thus with
your new convert; by his actions and by his words you would be led to
think, if you did not know better, that he was the last sinner God was
waiting to bring into his fold before he damned the rest. Shiblon
observed these faults in his brother, but knowing his haughty spirit,
which could ill brook restraint, he resolved to remain silent, and let
those older correct him.
Finding Amulek and Zeezrom, they delivered their message from the
council of the priesthood in Zarahemla, and both these worthy men
returned with them to that city, and from thence the party took its
journey to Antionum, the chief city of the Zoramites.
Of that journey it is necessary to say but little. It occupied eight
days, the party going on foot, driving with them but two asses, on
which were packed the tents, food and other necessary articles for the
comfort of the party. For the sons of Mosiah and Alma, who were all
experienced missionaries, and had passed through many trying scenes
together, as also, indeed, had Amulek and Zeezroni, it was a glorious
reunion; and many and various were the adventures and special
manifestations of the power of God related. To the younger men,
Shiblon and Corianton, it was a feast of spiritual food--the
conversation of these servants of God.
CHAPTER SIX.
THE ZORAMITES.
The sun was slowly sinking in the western sky, as the party of
missionaries presented themselves at the main entrance to the city
Antionum, the gateway of the north wall. They were permitted to pass
in unchallenged, and inquired out a lodging house, where they all
stayed together. Uninformed as to the exact nature of the heresy of
the Zoramites, they had resolved to avoid proclaiming their mission,
until they should become acquainted with the nature of the errors it
was their hope to correct.
