     summary: In the ardor and fervor of their young hearts' devotion they can repeat these beautiful words of their catechism and say: I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man, born of the Virgin Mary, is _my_ Lord; who has redeemed _me_, a lost and condemned creature, secured and delivered _me_ from all sin, from death, and from the power of the devil ... in order that I might be His, live under Him in His kingdom and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence and blessedness. It certainly seems repugnant to all that we have ever learned of our God and Saviour, that it should be His will that our dear children, who have been _conceived and born in sin_, and are therefore _by nature_, or by birth, _the children of wrath_, should remain in this state of sin and condemnation until they are old enough to be converted at a revival.

     summary: Now, none can bring us back to God, and into favour and communion with him, but our Lord Jesus Christ: But it is said, He did not many mighty works among some to whom he preached the everlasting Gospel, because of their unbelief: Many will not believe in the inward and spiritual appearance of Jesus Christ the Son of God, who is the light of the world; they will neither believe in the light, nor walk in the light, which will enable them to conquer the evil one, who is the prince of darkness: It is only through Christ Jesus, the great captain of our salvation, that we are victorious.

     summary: Second, let the reader remember that with God character counts more than comfort. For this purpose, the Introduction is addressed to them; and the hope is cherished that Chapter I will aid in disarming prejudice against God and the Bible; for while the Bible's teaching of degrees of punishment in Hell does not detract from the horrors of future punishment, but rather adds thereto, it effectually does away with the charge of the injustice of future punishment.

     summary: Nevertheless it was a great deal too much like old times that were destroyed; and glancing at Mr. Carlisle Eleanor saw that he was on Tippoo, and furthermore that there was a sparkle in his eye which meant hope, or triumph. Something out of the common line and that piqued curiosity, was delightful; and in despite of her very moderate worldly advantages, compared with many others who were there, Eleanor Powle seemed likely to become in a little while the belle of Brighton.

     summary: A clean heart then does not mean sinlessness, the eradication of sin, that sin is taken out of us; for though sin is taken out of the _heart_ that is cleansed--for a clean heart must be clean!--yet the flesh, the self-life, remains in the _man_, latent if not patent, ready to manifest itself should the counteracting power of the indwelling Christ the Saviour even for a moment be withdrawn. It goes without saying that _that_ man was full of the Holy Ghost.

     summary: It is delightful to a teacher to find that his scholars are attentive; and Mr. Fulton was much pleased by a remark from John, who said, I think, sir, the trees seem to explain the observation which you made this afternoon, that all the followers of Christ love to follow his example, and may be known by their fruit or conduct; for, sir, I see that all the branches of a tree bear the same kind of blossoms, and those of each sort of tree differ from all others. As the orchards were all in full blossom, Mr. Fulton reminded his scholars of the beautiful change which had taken place in the appearance of the trees within the last few weeks.

     summary: Said he, It is for that I know not where to go. True, there are, by the help of him who frames the laws, some stout and firm steps found through the midst of this slough; these steps are all but hid, or if they be seen, men step on one side, and then they get all grime with mire, though the steps be there; but the ground is good when they are once got in at the gate.

     summary: The knowledge of temple building and temple work was made known to the prophet from time to time subsequently to the 3rd of April, 1836, and he commenced to reveal these things to the Saints. Those who have passed beyond will then be in a position to furnish to their mortal kin all necessary names for temple work; and thus the labor for their salvation will be facilitated and more accurately done than it possibly can be done today.

     summary: Salvation is not by our knowing our own ruin, but by fully grasping the deliverance provided in Christ Jesus. Faith saves us because it makes us cling to Christ Jesus, and he is one with God, and thus brings us into connection with God.
