A Voice of Warning and Instruction to All People: Or, an Introduction to the Faith and Doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

By Parley P. Pratt

"I have lain months in gloomy dungeons, and been loaded with chains. I have been visited there by visions of Angels and Spirits, and been delivered by miracles." CONTENTS. Preface to the Second European Edition Preface to the First American Edition CHAPTER I On Prophecy already Fulfilled CHAPTER II On the Fulfilment of Prophecy yet future CHAPTER III The Kingdom of God CHAPTER IV The Book of Mormon--Origin of the American Indians, etc. CHAPTER V The Resurrection of the Saints, and the Restoration of all things spoken by the Prophets CHAPTER VI The dealings of God with all Nations in regard to Revelation CHAPTER VII A Contrast between the Doctrine of Christ, and the False Doctrines of the nineteenth century "The object of this publication is to give the public correct information concerning a religious system, which has penetrated every State from Maine to Missouri, as well as the Canadas, in the short space of nine years; organizing Churches and Conferences in every region, and gathering in its progress from fifty to a hundred thousand disciples; having, at the same time, to sustain the shock of an overwhelming, religious influence, opposed to it by the combined powers of every sect in America. What but the arm of Omnipotence could have moved it forward amid the rage of mobs? having to contend with the prejudice of the ignorant and the pen of the learned; at war with every creed and craft in Christendom; while the combined powers of earth and hell were hurling a storm of persecution, unparalleled in the history of our country. This Work is also intended as a warning voice, or proclamation of truth, to all people into whose hands it may fall, that they may understand, and be prepared for the great day of the Lord. Opinion and guesswork in the things of God are worse than useless; facts, well demonstrated, can alone be of service to mankind. And as the Holy Ghost can alone guide us into all truth, we pray God the Eternal Father, in the name of Jesus Christ His Son, that the Spirit of Truth may inspire our hearts in inditing this matter; that we may be able to write the truth in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that it may be the word of God, the everlasting Gospel, the power of God unto salvation, to the Gentile first, and also to the Jew."
