However,  the  project  failed — or  at  least  the  mod-
^em  Mormon  end  of  it — for  Brigham  "stiffers"  it.
This  verse  is  from  the  same  chapter:

Behold,  the  Lamanites  your  brethren,  whom  you  hate,  because
of  their  filthiness  and  the  cursings  which  hath  come  upon  their
skins,  are  more  righteous  than  you;  for  they  have  not  forgotten
^ttie  commandment  of  the  Lord,  which  was  given  unto  our
"Others,  that  they  should  have,  save  it  were  one  wife;  and  con-
cubines they  should  have  none.

MARK     TWAIN

The  following  verse  (from  Chapter  IX  of  the  Boct
of  Nephi)  appears  to  contain  information  not  familiar
to  everybody:

And  now  it  came  to  pass  that  when  Jesus  had  ascended  into
heaven,  the  multitude  did  disperse,  and  every  man  did  take  his
wife  and  his  children,  and  did  return  to  his  own  home.
And  it  came  to  pass  that  on  the  morrow,  when  the  multitude
was  gathered  together,  behold,  Nephi  and  his  brother  whom  he
had  raised  from  the  dead,  whose  name  was  Timothy,  and  also
his  son,  whose  name  was  Jonas,  and  also  Mathoni,  and  Mathoai-
hsh,  his  brother,  and  Kumen,  and  Kumenonhi,  and  Jeremiah,
and  Shemnon,  and  Jonas,  and  Zedekiah,  and  Isaiah;  now  these
were  the  names  of  the  disciples  whom  Jesus  had  chosen.
