JOSEPH COULDN'T TRUST THE BRETHREy-I
l6now that this people are doing great deal bet
ter than they did years ago. Could Joseph do
with this people as and my brethren now can
No. Was this people in the situation they now
are when Joseph was alive? No. Joseph was
running the gauntlet among his wicked enemies
all the time. lie hardly knew man in the king
dom that he could put confidence enough in to
call for a dollar to help him out Of difficulty
He did not know how many would stand by him
when mob gathered against him. lie had few
faithful, tried friends, but be had many around
him who would betray him into the hands Of his
enemies.-SermOH Of Brigham Young, .Nov. 22.
The PROPHET MoURNs OVER THE GENERAL
DIsHoNEsTY.-TO this day, if you employ masons
TO do a valuable piece Of work. mary will so do
ii that the wall or building will last only few
years, and then believe that to be honesty where
as believe il to be dishonesty. Aud joineFs,
with few exceptions will so hang doors, put up
mantel pieces. put on roofs and lay floors, that in
short time all their work is out of repair good
for nothing Very many, through the power of
erroneous education, do not know what honesty
and dishonesty are, and are not capable Of judg-
ing Observe the artizans in any branch Of
mechanism, and you will learn that what have
stated is true. Then you may take the class
called merchants, also the doctors, the priests in
the various sects, the lawyers and every person
engaged in any branch Of business throughout the
world, and as a general thing they are ali taught
from their childhood 10 be more or less dishonest
Ibid.
Bur Coon PEoPIE.-As 10 this people being
a good people, ! say, God bless you, all the time
Who else will do as this people does Nobody
else. All you have is on the altar, ready to be
offered up for the kingdom of God. You could
hardly find man or woman in this congregation
but what would take the clothing from their
backs to promote this king gdom.-IJtd.
OBEY BRGHAM.--Pay attention to the inspira-
tion Of the Almighty from those in whom it lives
and dwells, in whom it is living fountain as it
must be in you Individually before you will be
saved from sin. Let MS remember that if we can
not comprehend by the spirit that is living within
u.s. all the truth in relation to what we should do
and how we should act as we travel along, that
we should attend to their Instructions, and do
what they say.-Dd.
IL TIE NAME OF THE SAvIoR.--Brethren and
sisters, hope, and not only hope, but am GER
tain, that as a people we will adopt the princi-
pies that have been taught us, and practice them
to so great an extent that our Father will accept
us that He will not forsake MS that lie will not
turn his hand against us but that he will be
over in mercy continually, and that victory,
through His goodness, may perch upon the ban
ner of Zion, from this time forth and forever
want that we should be good enough, sufi-
ciently meek and faithful before our Father and
His servants, that we will find acceptance with
Him continually. That we may be so wise as to
pursue this course in onr lives is my prayer in
the name Of Jesus Amen.--IJd.

Of my way, you poor sinking curses that would

ing GOd.-SGmOH 6y President Heller c. HiHibdH, |

WAR TO THE KNIFE.-Joseph when he was in
NauvoO. on the housetOp, drew his sword from
the sheath and said it never sboutd be sbeathed
again. Brother Brigham has said the same. and I
brother Heber will back him in it, aud SO will ev-
cry officer in the kingdom Of God. What say
you, brethren, will we do it If so, raise your
right hands and say aye.

BRIGHAM on VIsIoNs.-Some are very anxious
that should have visions. | have all that the |
Lord gives me, and all that he Keeps back he may I
for that is no concern of mine. We are on the old
ship Zion, and if God is not at the helm the old
ship will wreck and go to the devil As for my !
taking charge of the kingdom of God on the |
earth exclusively and independent of direction
from Heaven, | shall not do any such thing. IT /
the Lord does not direct the old ship and act as
captain and pilot it will 90 to destructon and |
| care not how quck.--Sern'0h By Brigham, Cct |

THE lNFERFAL SCouNDRELs And now, having
been forced from the United States after having .
been driven time and time again from our homes .
by our murderous enemies having fulfilled all /
the requirements that God or man could require .
of us, and kept every law necessary for as to OBJ /
serve after all this, and more, | say, shall we
suffer those poor, miserable, damned, internal .
scoundrels to come here and infringe upon cur
sacred rights?
T. NO. resounded throughout the Tabernacle, /
making the walls of the building remblc,]
NO it shall be the kingdom of God or moth
ing with us. That is my text, believe and we |
will stick to it, we will maintain it. and. in the .
name Of lsrael's God, the kingdom Of God Shall /
roll on, and all the powers Of earth and hell can
not stop its progress it is onward ONWARD, ON /
WARD, from this time henceforth, and to all
eternity.
