7" WOW WOULP
YOU LIKE TO BE FLYING

IL is my privilege to have the
opportunity to share the Book of
Mormon with people daily. The

_ Book of Mormon is much like
the Bible. While the Bible is the
sacred history of the Jews, or
tribe of Judah, written for the
old World, the Book of Mormon
is the sacred history of the
ancient inhabitants of this
continent, as written by the
ancient prophets of the tribe of
Joseph. There are more than a
few scriplural evidences in the
Bible which tell of the Book of
Mormon, but it is not my pur-
pese to quote you passages of
scriplure here,, but rather, to
show some interesting findings
by archeologists .and an-
thropologists which support
specific slatements made in the
Book of Mormon. |

The Book of Mormon was
translated by Joseph Smith in
the year 1829. This volume of
scripture relates the history of
the people who lived on this

- continent from B.C. 600 to A.D.
421, | .

At first, scientists did not
agree with some statements
made in the Book of Mormon.

“ As man’s studies become more
comprehensive in this modern
age of scientific discovery,
many theories are being
disproven and new facts in-
troduced. Truth is unchanging
and as man's awareness if truth
increases, he must accept
changes here and there. Now
we know that the great
civilizations described in the
Book of, Mormon really: did
exists. Science, in the last ten to
twenty years, has begun to
prove many! stalements in the
Book of Mormon.

It is my purpose to relate to
you, ina series of articles, some

recent discoveries which help

' us tosee, from an external point
of view, that the events
recorded in the Book of Mormon

' aretrue. Wemust remember,
however, that spiritual things

‘ eannot be proven by an in-
tellectual point of view, they
must be spiritually discerned.
We will now begin to look at the
Book of Mormon from a

’ historical pointof view. If you

want to Ivaen if. it is true

spiritually, you must read. it and

pray about it.

. The Book of: Mormon history
_ begins in Jerusalern and tells of
a* small group of, people who
migrated. to the: Red Sea and
from there crossed the Pacific
Ocean and landed on: the shores
‘of South-Americ a in the years
- near.to B.C, 600." This over all

History of a people

buried the record in a stone box
in what is now a hill in western
New York state, in A.D, 421.
Interwoven into their history
are the histories of a few other
groups of people who also
migrated to this continent. One
of these groups of people are
called Jaredites, who came
here in eight barges, around
B.C, 2,000

On page six of America
Before Columbus, Brinton tells
us, “the Mayes claimed that
their ancestors came from
distant regions in two bands -
the largest and most ancient
immigration came from the |
east - across, or rather, through
the ocean: the second band.
smaller in size, came later
from the west.” Authorities call
the people of - the first im-
migration the Archaic, and the
people of the second, the
Mayan-Toltees. Dr. Xpinden of
thePeabody Institute, one of the

‘greatest authorities on the

chronology of these people
states that he and Dr. Morley of
the Carnegie Institute; and
others, have worked out the
time of the landing of the second
group of people from a stone
which was found that tells the
story of the first landing of the —
second group of people - about
B.C.619.

Some authorative resear-
chers, according to Farn-
sworth, say that the second
migration (Mayan-Toltec)
occured ‘around B.C. 600 and
gréw until it reachedit's highest
point between the second and
fifth centuries after Christ, The
Book of Mormon has been
telling us that for a hundred and
fourty-two years, Scientists:
wonder what happened to the —
civilization after:it reached it's ©
height, Allthey can tell is that a
great catastrophe took plac e
which almost wiped. out the
entire civilization. Why did
these people leavé thelr. cities’
and never come back? Some
cities had over a million highly
cultured people. There is no
evidence of famine, pestilence,
or war. within the cities they left
city after‘city, by the thousands.
The Book of Mormon has the
answer. ‘These people were
leaving: their ‘citles to make a
final war to see which group
would: have the final victory. -
The war continued, and after:
being ‘driven back again and
agriin, the Nephites, as‘they are
‘called in the records,.,finally
