In the course of this year the Egyptian mummies were bought from Mr. Chandler, by whom they were received from Egypt. Great was our wonder in looking upon the bodies of those who, 4000 years ago, were living princes and queens. And whom the writings of Abraham upon papyrus which accompanied them were taken from its ancient casket, it seemed marvelous indeed. And all rejoiced when the prophet told us these writings would be translated, which are now, in part, in the "Pearl of Great Price."
