Alma 31:5

And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency

to lead the people to do that which was just —

yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people

than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them —

therefore Alma thought it was expedient

that they should try the virtue of the word of God.

Alma 35:5

Now their rulers and their priests and their teachers

did not let the people know concerning their desires;

therefore they found out privily the minds of all the people.

Alma 35:6

And it came to pass that after they had found out the minds of all the people,

those who were in favor of the words

which had been spoken by Alma and his brethren

were cast out of the land; and they were many;

and they came over also into the land of Jershon.
