“This is the Desire of Our Hearts”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

The Sacred Record says that a goodly number heard this appeal made by Alma. Then, "They clapped their hands for joy, and exclaimed: This is the desire of our hearts." They evidently showed in some manner that they approved what Alma had said. A demonstration of this kind is little different than our exclamation, Amen, or the outcry of others when they shout, "Hear, Hear," or "Please Lord."
