How is the Book of Mormon a “standard”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The Book of Mormon is the great standard we are to use. It shows that Joseph Smith was a prophet. It contains the words of Christ, and its great mission is to bring men to Christ, and all other things are secondary. The golden question of the Book of Mormon is ‘Do you want to learn more of Christ?’ The Book of Mormon is the great finder of the golden contact. It does not contain things which are ‘pleasing unto the world’ (1 Ne. 6:5), and so the worldly are not interested in it. It is a great sieve” (Benson, “Book of Mormon Is the Word of God,” 4).
