l will tell you what this people need with
regard to preaching; you need, fguratively
to have TRAN pitchforks. tines downward
from this pulpit. Sunday after sunday. In
stead Of the srosth, beautiful, sweet, still, silk
velvet-lippsd preaching, you should have ser
mons like peals Of thunder, and perhaps we
then can get the scales from your eyes. This
style is necessary in order to save many Of this
people. Give them smooth preachers, and iet
them glide along in their own desires and wish.
ss, and they will follow after the traditions Oi
their foreialhers and the inclinatiuns Of THEN
own wicked hearts, and give way to temptation
little BY little. uAtl by and By they are ripe fO
destruction.
Kicked out and Kicked in.
Some say, Brother Brigham always chasti
ses us" But what do | tell you? I say thI
if there are any saints on earth, they are here
il the Kingdom of God is on earth, it is here;
Jesus is not known here, he is net known upol
the earth; il his Father is not knoEn here, ht
is not known upon the earth. What Of all this
II we have this knowledge, greater is the shame
unless We live TO it, and greater will be ou
condemnation. The people should be preach
ed to, but they need something besides smOotl
teaching. Comparatively speaking they shoult
have their ears cufed, and be roughly handles
be kicked out doors and then kicked in again
Most of the Elders who preach in this staut
ought to be kicked out Of it and then kicket
into it, until they overhaul themselves and fut
out what is the matter with them.

Will you hear now? If / have strength an
continue to feel like it. 1 will come here an
train you every Sabbath, and | wish my ser
mons to be like the raining OF pitehfcrks poin
foremost, until you awake out Of your slee
and 6nd out whether you are ssiuts or not
We have great many gars, sharks, sheeE
heads, lamper eels, and every other kind Of IS
that is to be foun d in the pond; the gospel n
has gathered them up, and what may you e:
psct from such mess? You may expect ii
best and worst of all Gods creation, mingls
here together. The foolish will turn fro
correct PuIciples, go over to the wicked an
cease to be righteous, SO that they can go t
hell with the fools. 1 wish to have every MAJ
who rises to speak from this stand, lay asid
.hs smooth tongue and velvet lips, and let hi
words be like melted lead, that they may sinl
into the hearts of the people.
