ONE MIRACLE WROUGHT AND MORE PROMISED
l do firmly believe that our bread has
been blest and multiplied this season, for
know there was not enough in the Territo-
ry to sustain the people. s3 a5a
Angels are ministering spirits, and do
you suppose that they will see this people
wantl Do you suppose that my Father
will sit upon his throne and see us starve
No, no more than he suffered his servant
Elijah to starve. He then inspired bird
to carry meat to his servant Elijah, and
be can do the same thing now.
Did he not cause mamma to come from
heaven9 Yes, and there is plenty more on
hand. .,-

Brother Brigham and / once srarted to
travel with sixteen dollars aud fifty cents,
and in five hundred miles we paid out eighty
two dollars, and had some money left when
we got to the end of our journey. Do you
not suppose thatwe believe in angels and
holy beings having visited us on those oc-
casions? Cannot angels furnish saints
with money? Our wants were supplied,
and we are witnesses of the fact, and we
still live, and shall continue tolive and bear
testimony to this generation.
The Desert News publishes a sermon
delivered by Young. By this sermon it
would appear that Young proposes to in
troduce into Mormonism something akin
TO spiritualism, and hence of course the
need of a new revelation. "Living Oracles"
having fallen into disrepute, written revela-
tions are demanded. The editor says:
+ WRITTEN REVELATION,
In the midst'of the steady and strong
light constantly streaming upon the people
from the Living Oracles, and amid great
er or less disregard of what has been re-
yealed, there are many who are constantly
craving written revelations. That class, it
is presumable, will highly crafty and edi
fy themselves in the perusal and study of
the following letter by our President, and
we know that every saint will profit by the
instructions therein contained, for it is
written revelation. rE
We extract from Youngs sermon: g
ONCE A PROPHET ALWAYS PROPHET.
If man is called to be prophet, and
the gift of rophecy is poured upon him,
though he afterwards actually de6es the
power of God and turns away from the no
Iy commandments, that man will continue
in his gift and will prophecy lies.
He will made false prophecies, yet he
will do it by the spirit of prophecy; he
will feel that he is a prophet, and can
prophecy, but he does it by another spirit
and power than that which was given him
of the Lord.
ETERNITY LOCATED.
Here is time, where is eternity! 1t is
here, Just as much as anywhere in all the
expanse Of space; a measured space of time
is only a part of eternity. aT
re iyr.-ses. THE SPIRIT LAND. rcv1 .-.-fs
When our spirits leave our bodies where
do they 60 to! They do not pass out of
the organization of this earth on which we
leve. You read in the Bible that when
the spirit leaves the body it goes to God
who gave it, Now tell me where God is
not, if you please; you cannot. Butwhere
is the spirit world! 1t is incorporated
within this celestial system 1t is right
here. Do the good. evil spirits 60 to-.
gether? Yes, they do. Do they both in
habit one kingdom? Yes, they do.
r'i LIVING OUT OF DOORS.
We may enquire where is the spirits
dwell that the devil has power oyers They
dwell anywhere. If you could see, and
would walk over many parts of North
America, you would see millions and mil
lions of the spirits of those who have been
slain upon this continent. Could you see
spirits of devils? Yes, and that is all
there is of them. They have been depriv-
ed Of bodies, and that constitutes the curse !;
that is to say, speaking after the manner
ofmen, you shall be wanderers on the earth,
you have got to live out of doors, all the
time you live.
SPHERES IN THE SPIRIT LAND.
We have no time to spend foolishly, for
we have Just as much on our hands as we
can possibly do, to keep pace with that
portion of our brethren who have gone in
to the other room. ...-..g
| And when we have passed into the sphere
where Joseph is, there is still another de-
partuent, and then another, and then an
other, and then another, and SO on, to an
eternal progression in exaltation and eter-
nal lives. This is the exaltation am
looking for. e.. .~..a s.,-f.,,
