GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY.

"Wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead." —James ii. 20.
We take this means of visiting you, at your hearths and homes, to testify to you of the restoration of the Everlasting Gospel and the Holy Priesthood, by the visitation of an holy angel in fulfilment of the predictions of the prophets; to usher in the dispensation of the fullness of times and the establishment of the kingdom of God.
The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. (Rom. i, 16, 17). "And being made perfect He (Christ) became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him," (Heb. v. 9). Its first principles are, faith, repentance, baptism, and the reception of the Holy Ghost.
