Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 84: June 29, 1922
The first Gospel dispensation presents the following distinctive features (1) The institution of the Law of Sacrifice, foreshadow ing the Atonement that was to be made for the redemption of fallen man; (2) the introduction and earliest promulgation of the Gospel, for which the Law of Sacrifice had prepared the way; (3) The initial exercise of the patriarchal power, by Father Adam, in behalf of the whole human race. Adam had built an altar and was offering a lamb thereon, When an Angel appeared to him and said: Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto the Lord Adam replied I know not, save the Lord commanded me. Then said the Angel: This thing is a similitude of the sacrifice of the only-begotten of the Father. Wherefore thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore. So runs the sacred story, as related by Joseph the Seer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
