Original:
And now my beloved brethren, if this be the case that these things
are true which I have spoken unto you, and God will shew unto you
with power and great glory at the last day, that they are true; and
if they are true, has the day of miracles ceased? or have angels
ceased to appear unto the children of men? or has he withheld the
power of the Holy Ghost from them? or will he, so long as time shall
last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man upon the
face thereof to be saved? Behold I say unto you nay, for it is by
faith that miracles are wrought; and it is by faith that angels
appear and minister unto men;

Original:
And again, behold I say unto you, that he cannot have faith and hope,
save he shall be meek and lowly of heart; if so, his faith and hope
is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly
of heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by
the power of the Holy Ghost, that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs
have charity;
Correction:

is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly
of heart; and if a man be meek and lowly of
heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost, that Jesus is

But little children are alive in Christ, even from the foundation of
the world; if not so, God is a partial God, and also a changeable
God, and a respecter to persons; for how many little children have
died without baptism.
Correction:

the world; if not so, God is a partial God, and also a changeable
God, and a respecter of

Lectures
The
edits for the Seven Lectures will be in the same format as the Book
of Mormon.
Title
of the Seven Lectures (top of page
5, line of paragraph , 1844 Doctrine and Covenants)
Original:
LECTURES ON THE DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY
SAINTS
Correction:
Lectures
on the Doctrine of Jesus Christ
Reason:
The
Lectures have been nicknamed “Lectures on Faith”, but Joseph did
not give them that name. He called them LECTURES ON THE DOCTRINE OF
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. The Lectures were of
faith not Lectures on Faith. The opening paragraph of these Lectures
says, “Faith being the first principle in revealed religion, and
the foundation of all righteousness, necessarily claims the first
place in a course of lectures which are designed to unfold to the
understanding the doctrine of Jesus Christ.” Lecture

those which he done among them should they do, and that because he
