The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the kingdom, set up by the God of heaven, that would never be destroyed nor superseded. In the early nineteenth century the day had come that the Church was organised. Small it was, with only six members, compared to the stone cut out of the mountain without hands which would break in pieces other nations and which would roll forth and fill the whole earth. Today the stone rolls forth to fill the earth.
