67 Teach them to never be weary of good works, but to be meek and lowly in heart; For such shall find rest to their souls.

68 O remember, my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth, Yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God, Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support,

69 Yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, And whithersoever thou goest, let it be in the Lord, Yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord, Yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever, Counsel the Lord in all thy doings and He will direct thee for good,

70 Yea, when thou liest down at night, lie down unto the Lord that He may watch over you in your sleep, And when thou risest in the morning, let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; And if ye always do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

71 And now, my son, I have somewhat to say concerning the thing which our fathers call a ball or director, Or our fathers called it "liahona, " which is, being interpreted, a "compass, " And the Lord prepared it;

72 And behold, there cannot any man work after the manner of so curious a workmanship,

73 And behold, it was prepared to show unto our fathers the course which they should travel in the wilderness. And it did work for them according to their faith in God;

74 Therefore, if they had faith to believe that God could cause that those spindles should point the way they should go, Behold, it was done; Therefore, they had this miracle, and also many other miracles wrought by the power of God, day by day;

75 Nevertheless, because those miracles were worked by small means, nevertheless it did show unto them marvelous works.

76 They were slothful and forgot to exercise their faith and diligence, And then those marvelous works ceased and they did not progress in their journey;

77 Therefore, they tarried in the wilderness, or did not travel a direct course, and were afflicted with hunger and thirst because of their transgression.
