“Moroni was then commanded to deposit this record in the earth, together with the _Urim and Thummim_, or, as the Nephites would have said, _Interpreters_, which were instruments to assist in the work of the translation, with a promise from the Lord that it should be brought to light by means of a Gentile nation that should possess the land, and be published to the world, and go forth to the Lamanites, and be one of the instruments in the hands of God for their conversion. It remained safe in the place where it was deposited, till it was brought to light by the administration of angels, and translated by the gift and power of God.” The Mormon Bible contains five hundred and eighty-eight duodecimo pages, and purports to have been written at different times, and by the different authors, whose names the parts respectively bear. The following are the names of the different books, in the order in which they occur:— 1. First Book of Nephi. 2. Second Book of Nephi. 3. Book of Jacob, brother of Nephi. 4. Book of Enos, son of Jacob. 5. Book of Jarom, son of Enos. 6. Book of Omni, son of Jarom. 7. Words of Mormon. 8. Book of Mosiah. 9. Book of Alma. 10. Book of Helaman. 11. Book of Nephi, son of Nephi, son of Helaman. 12. Book of Nephi, son of Nephi, one of the disciples of Christ. 13. Book of Mormon. 14. Book of Ether. 15. Book of Moroni. Two new books have recently been published,—the Prophecies of Enoch, in the _Morning and Evening Star_, and the Book of Abraham, in the _Times and Seasons_. The Mormons seem to think that revelations from Heaven and miracles wrought, are as necessary now, and as important to the salvation of the present generation, as they were to any generation in any preceding age or period. In a volume entitled “Doctrine and Covenants,” are a great number of revelations, purporting to be from Jesus Christ to Smith and his coadjutors. The following extracts from a revelation given on the 22d and 23d of September, 1832, convey, it is believed, a fair specimen of the whole. We copy _verbatim_. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, It is expedient that every man who goes forth to proclaim mine everlasting gospel, that, inasmuch as they have families, and receive moneys by gift, that they should send it unto them, or make use of it for their benefit, as the Lord shall direct them; for thus it seemeth me good. And let all those who have not families, who receive moneys, send it up unto the bishop in Zion, or unto the bishop in Ohio, that it may be consecrated for the bringing forth of the revelations, and the printing thereof, and for establishing Zion.
