Behold, it is as easy to
give heed to the word of Christ,
which will point to you
a straight course to eternal bliss,
as it was for our fathers to
give heed to this compass,
which would point unto them
a straight course to the promised land.
And now I say,
is there not a type in this thing?
For just as surely as
this director did bring our fathers,
by following its course,
to the promised land,
shall the words of Christ,
if we follow their course,
carry us beyond this vale of sorrow
into a far better land of promise.
(Alma 37:44-45)
