Now, what do we hear
in the gospel which we have received? A voice of gladness! A voice of
mercy from heaven; and a voice of truth out of the earth; glad tidings
for the dead; a voice of gladness for the living and the dead; glad
tidings of great joy. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of
those that bring glad tidings of good things, and that say unto Zion:
Behold, thy God reigneth! As the dews of Carmel, so shall the knowledge
of God descend upon them!

And again, what do we hear?
Glad tidings from Cumorah! Moroni, an angel from heaven, declaring
the fulfilment of the prophets—the book to be revealed. A voice of the
Lord in the wilderness of Fayette, Seneca county, declaring the three
witnesses to bear record of the book! The voice of Michael on the banks
of the Susquehanna, detecting the devil when he appeared as an angel of
light! The voice of Peter, James, and John in the wilderness between
Harmony, Susquehanna county, and Colesville, Broome county, on the
Susquehanna river, declaring themselves as possessing the keys of the
kingdom, and of the dispensation of the fulness of times!
