On opening it, I found within a beauteous ornament,—even the magnificent jewels joined together in one setting of gold. Over the ruby, Pardon, were inscribed the words, _Thy sins be forgiven thee_. Round the pearl, Purity, appeared engraved, _Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord_. And I beheld written round the glittering diamond, _It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom_. Never was there an ornament so precious or so beautiful as this free gift from our Father.”
