By Ted L. Gibbons

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: I proclaim to you, my brethren and sisters, that in the Book of Mormon more than in any other book written in this world and I do not except the New Testament—in the Book of Mormon more than in any other book, we have there the necessity of, and the truth of the atonement of the Christ taught to the children of men as nowhere else.

Roberts, Conference Report, April 1911, p.59).
