In
a land like ours, where Protestant principles long severed from the
Roman communion hold sway, to cast off the Bible would be like repudiating soap
or the Winchester carbine. So where members of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints dwell the Good Book dwells also, large and with a
Concordance, as a parlor embellishment and place to press a flower and keep
family records. But as to reading it, that, the Saints of the Last Dispensation
leave to the Gentiles, while the Saints themselves draw from the clanking Book
found hidden like fairy gold in the Hill Cumorah that which, uncreated and
eternal, subsists more in the essence of the Deity than all the other evangels
in the world put together!
