“I Will Consecrate This Land”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

For an inheritance of the descendants of Lehi and also the children of those who are numbered among them. A solemn warning is added. God will that all who live here shall worship him, this being a "choice" land, above all others; a consecrated land. Where the laws of God are enforced, none but those who really love and worship God will care to live.
