Transcription

A like scene happened in America, when the risen Christ appeared to the Nephites, he gave them the same privilege that he granted to Thomas, and raised up a multitude of witnesses who had touched the wounds of the risen Christ, and we have their testimony to present to the world to make stronger the testimony of the Judean evangelists. We have this assurance not only of a resurrection from the dead but of the reality of it, and the realty of that future life which follows upon it, and to which the gospel invites us. And we shall live, not in decrepit, worn out or deformed bodies, but in bodies restored to the full stature of the spirits they are to clothe. We shall inhabit them erect and strong and young and unwrinkled; with every power increasing and developing through all the ages that we shall live.
