Excerpt from A Series of Pamphlets of the Doctrines of the Gospel The labors of the late respected and beloved Orson Pratt, some of whose writings we herewith present to the public, are too well known to require any extended comments from us. His voice has been heard in various parts of the earth bearing a faithful testimony to the truth of the gospel, and in many places where he was never seen, his precious writings have been perused with pleasure and profit by the honest in heart. Thus has his name become familiar and honored among the people of God. In addition to the compilation, as published in 1891, we have placed in this edition an article written by the same author on the Universal Apostacy, being a graphic exposition of the decline and ultimate spiritual darkness of primitive Christianity. Also a beautiful article on the Latter-Day Kingdom, which shows the necessity of laws, subjects, officers and King to establish a true Kingdom of God in the earth.
