by B. H. Roberts

Footnotes

[1]. This book has been called the "Fifth Gospel," and deservedly so, though he who first used the term tried to disprove its claims. It richly deserves the title, however. Also it has been called the "American Gospel," see Defense of the Faith and the Saints, Art. "The Fifth Gospel."

[2]. The references under this subdivision, and the notes of this lesson are not intended to be considered as doctrines to be mastered here. The references and notes are given just to be read with a view to fixing in the mind of the student the fact that the Book of Mormon deals with these important subjects and is of value for that reason. The class is not dealing with doctrine now but with the Book of Mormon as Nephite literature; hence teachers will not allow their class to linger over these very attractive subjects, now.
