 For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to a straight course to eternal bliss, as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land. Now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers by following its course to the promised land, so the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this veil of sorrow into a far better land of promise.
