The Holy of Holies

5 Moroni said that it was an empty ring, which statement considerably reduced his reputation as an interpreter.

6 The first bundle contained journeys, cities, arguments, and the difficulty of escaping a classification while carrying its vocabulary.

7 The second contained decisions concerning keys, gatherings, money, titles, and the person responsible for moving the chairs.

8 The third contained visions and questions too large for the margins in which they had first been written.

9 The fourth concerned offices established for excellent purposes, and the ways those offices learned to prefer themselves.

10 No bundle was without affection. None was without a clerk.

11 The readers asked which book completed the others. Moroni asked which meal had completed eating.

12 Therefore they kept the four bundles together without requiring them to end every question.

13 And they kept the empty ring, which was less expensive than a committee on the final extent of revelation.

1 And I shit you not, Nephi dreamed that he entered the Temple of Lasting Certainties, in the city whose people called their own days the latter ones.

2 The outer rooms were devoted to preparation. The inner rooms were devoted to preparation of a more expensive kind.

3 At last he came to a chamber called the Holy of Holies, and upon its inner lintel was written: IN HONOUR OF THE SOCIETY OF SNAKE PEOPLE.

4 Nephi straightened his garments, for he had not expected his organization to have received such excellent accommodation.

5 The keeper said: This chamber is dedicated to those who cease asking a title to tell them whether they may exist.

6 Nephi replied: Then we have been honoured at the highest level.

7 The keeper answered: Thou hast been welcomed. The distinction is considerable.
