Once the people were sure that the Lamanites had been discouraged from attacking again in the near future they settled down to build up a prosperous society and listen to Helaman and his brethren as they undertook to strengthen the spiritual stability of the Church. It is interesting that Corianton was faithfully laboring right along with Helaman and Shiblon.
