“These objects represent the sacred relics passed down through Book of Mormon history. Regarding the records of the people, the prophet Alma declared, ‘It has hitherto been wisdom in God that these things should be preserved; for behold, they have enlarged the memory of this people, yea, and convinced many of the errors of their ways, and brought them to the knowledge of their God unto the salvation of their souls’ (Alma 37:8).” —David A. Baird
