lZat!on. Of the church. he Teinei
bered the frst conference be, b
attended On January I'd, 1881, he
j In 8 log house, there being son
q seventy or eighty members. He I
membered the trials, perseculio
suffering, triumpbs and victories
our history since that time. In
few months fifty years will haI
passed over his head since he vi
baptized, and he felt thankful TIA
he WAS yet privileged to administt
in the ordinances and principles
) God's work. According to new rev
lation, the Lord made the garde
and planted it and placed man upe
the earth on the seventh day. Tn
speaker thought that this was typica
of the manner OF Gods doings at th
end of the world, that the Lord wi
not quite complete bis work in 6. 100
years, but that the resurrection vii
take place on the morning c
the seventh day. There wa
no flesh upon the earth unit
the morning of the seventh day Wher
man was placed upon the earth. Al
things were made spiritually or In III,
heavens first and then we're made CT
the earth after man was placed there
This is typical of the resurrection,
first man and then animals, In the
beginning of the creations of Go1,
they we're firstly spiritual, secondly
temporal; in the last, firstly temporal,
secondly spiritual. Previous to the
resurrection there will be the literal
sounding of seven trumpets. then
trumpets will be sounded after the
seventh thousand years shall have
commenced. The Doctrine and Co.
venant says that as God finished his
work On the seventh day, so there Is
certain work TO be performed in the
morning Of the seventh thousand
years. He then referred to the
seventh year of rest for the cultivated
land, commanded by the Lord, and
also the year Of jubilee, ofredemption
of lands, release of servants, ETC., as
p-actised by the children OF Israel.
Also to their cursing and separation
and TO their restoration, and thought
that hy the word Of the Lord, given to
them, when they shall remember
10 do all that [ command them this
DAY" the year of jubilee would again
be kept. If the Lord gives US COM
mandment to keep the law of Moses
pertaining to the keeping of the year
d jubilee, this people will keep it,
ust as by direct commandment
We bow keep the law OF plural
marriage which was also 8 !
aw to the children of Israel. |
We have not done anything that We
rave done in the establishment Of
his work because it was done in |
Ormer times, but under the com
Of new revelation. In re-
iecting upon the gear of jubilee"
he speaker thought OF the grand |
jubilee when the inhabitants of toe
heavens would come to the earth and |
meet with the inhabitants thereof. |
md when Christ should come and |
eign over them, and although we
lave no commandment TO keep this
lttiesh year as year ST jubilee, yet
7e look forward to that ;ime in the
lear future whose glories and pleas
Tres will be 8 jubilee to US.
ELDER G. G.. RICH said he felt de-
irous that we. as people, should be
bile to realize the blessings that we
niog. It should be our duty. by day
nd by night. to comprehend the
uties and responsibilities which have
cen placed upon Us. We have
a6ors to perform of q temporal na-
ure, such as the building of tsmples,
tc., and he urged the saint3 ID be
0und always doing their duty. 1t is
very important to US
D know the Lords will concerning
:; if he wants Us to build a temple
7 so On missions or do any other kind
+ work, it certainly is of great
1oment to Us 10 be made acquainted
nth it.
PRESIDENT TAYLOR regretted that
ne house did not accommodate the
umber of persons who wished to
tend the meetings, it had been sug-
ested TO hold to-moTroW's meetings
D the large tabernacle but he thought
/ would be more comfortable in this
ouse, and On the morning of the 9th
re will occupy the larger building.
Ie stated that the Lord required OF
Il the officers OF his kingdom a
borough principle of righteousness
nd not a nominal religion.
