We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Fear not Mary for thou hast found favor with God.



And meantime 600 years later back in Jerusalem, Lehi’s home town…
 “… the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth to a Virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came unto her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
“And when she saw him she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus, He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David.”  (Luke 1: 26 - 32 )
