The spring of 1820 heralded the dawn of a new day. The Sacred Grove in upstate New York was not to be the location of a complete restoration, a place and time wherein God would make all things known and correct all the flaws of a faltering world. Rather, the First Vision began the era of restitution, the times of refreshing, the season of cleansing and purification and endowment that would reach a zenith in a millennial dispensation.... The days in which only the chosen few could come unto God, those times when only a priestly hierarchy could perform the sacraments and commune with Deity, were no more. The gospel of God, the new and everlasting covenant, was restored to earth "that every man might speak in the name of God the Lord, even the Savior of the world; that faith also might increase in the earth." (D&C 1:20-21). [Back Cover]
