“The People of Nephi Began to Be Proud in Their Hearts”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

It was surely only a matter of time before sin and perversion had matured to the point where the adherents of evil deeds could join hands with Beelzebub to efficiently perpetuate wickedness through secret combinations. And, sad to say, it was only a matter of time before the pressure to succumb was so great that many of the faithful yielded to the enticements and pleasures of the worldly.
