to declare the word of God unto my people.

while others shall perish.

Yea, wilt thou comfort their souls in Christ.

And they came unto Alma;

and the one who was the foremost among them said unto him:

Behold, what shall these my brethren do,

for they are despised of all men because of their poverty,

yea, and more especially by our priests;

for they have cast us out of our synagogues

which we have labored abundantly to build with our own hands;

and they have cast us out because of our exceeding poverty;

and we have no place to worship our God; and behold, what shall we do?

that ye can give place for a portion of my words.

Now, we will compare the word unto a seed.

Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart,

behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed,

if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief,

that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord,

behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts;

and when you feel these swelling motions,

ye will begin to say within yourselves —

It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good,

for it beginneth to enlarge my soul;

yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding,

yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

and your diligence, and patience, and long-suffering,

waiting for the tree to bring forth fruit unto you.

And thou didst hear me because of mine afflictions and my sincerity;

for thou hast turned thy judgments away from me, because of thy Son.

O my brethren, if ye could be healed

by merely casting about your eyes that ye might be healed,

and as it beginneth to swell even so nourish it by your faith.

that your burdens may be light, through the joy of his Son.

And even all this can ye do if ye will.

Amen.

and impart of your substance, if ye have,

to those who stand in need —

if ye do not any of these things,

behold, your prayer is vain, and availeth you nothing,

and ye are as hypocrites who do deny the faith.

that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.
