Captain Moroni, a message.

It is from Helaman.

My dearly beloved brother, Moroni, I have somewhat to tell you concerning our warfare in this part of the land.

Behold, two thousand of the sons of those men whom Ammon brought down out of the land of Nephi — Now ye have known that these were descendants of Laman, who was the eldest son of our father Lehi;

And ye also know concerning the covenant which their fathers made, that they would not take up their weapons of war against their brethren

to shed blood.

But when they saw our afflictions and our tribulations for them, they were about to break the covenant which they had made and take up their weapons

of war in our defence.

Should we take up arms in the defence of our country?

But I would not suffer them that they should break this covenant which they had made.

Please, do not break your oath.

I fear lest by so doing

you will lose your souls.

God will strengthen us, insomuch that we should not suffer more because of the fulfilling the oath which you have taken.

I have not made the covenant, father.

I will defend us against our enemies.

We are Nephites.

I will go as well.

I covenant that I will protect the land unto the laying down of my life.

I covenant that I will never give up our liberty, but will fight to protect the Nephites and ourselves from bondage!

[MULTIPLE PEOPLE TALKING]

Will you lead us?

I will lead you.

Put your trust in God.

If you do not doubt, God will deliver you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I will go.

Father, we kneel before thee...

As they never had hitherto been a disadvantage to the Nephites, they became now at this period of time also a great support.

...that we may support them.

Father, we ask they that as they go out to fight...

Two thousand of these young men have taken their weapons of war, and we have

come forth to defend our country.
