4. The revelation in the Book of Mormon, pointing out the location
of man [sic] ancient cities, the ruins of which were subsequently
discovered by Catherwood and Stephens--the direct and palpable
fulfilment of many of the prophecies of Joseph Smith, which no human
sagacity could have foreseen, all natural appearances and circumstances
being entirely against their expected fulfillment--the raising up
of numerous other witnesses who also testify to the ministering of
angels and the manifestations of the power of God confirmatory of this
message--the performance of many splendid miracles by Mr. Smith and his
followers, and the bold unequivocal promise of the miraculous gifts to
all who should believe and embrace this message, are all evidences such
as no impostor ever has given, or ever can give. They are evidences
such as will prove the salvation of every creature that receives the
message, and the damnation of every soul that rejects it.
