know that God will require strict
account of what we do, and thai
what we mete out to others, will be
lmeted out to US. We have no right

We should treat all men, free from

dices against others as though they

feelings are from below and not
from above. | do not know OF

ment of Jesus Christ. We find in
the new translation that Satan
came to the Lord, and the Lore
asked him what course he would
pursue to the human family. L will
be thy son, said he, and l will en-
gage to save all the human family.
He turned to Jesus, who said, thy
will be done, father. thou under
standeth all thing, and l say thy
will be done; do not want my will,
but thine, and thine he the glory
Jesus knew, and it was known in
the heavens, that man would fall,
and once fallen, he knew he could |
never recover himself, and when |
Jesus said "Thy will be done," he |
undertook to be their savior. |
Taking upon himself this response
bility, these things were commml-
Gated to the world; they were told |
to Adam. Adam was told to offer
up a sacrifice, and he did so, and
when an angel came to him he told |
Adam that the sacrifice was a type
of the son of the father, who should /
be redeemer of the world. Inl
Moses day, when the Children of
Israel were to be slain because of |
their rebellion against God. our
father told them that the firstborn
in all Egypt should be destroyed !;
and he told the Children of Israel to
kill lamb, and put the blood upon
the post, and this being a type of
the redemption, the angel could
not destroy the children therein.
When Jesus came upon the earth.
and was about to be offered
up as sacrifice, he told his disciples
TO select place where he could par
lake of the passover with them. He
Jook the bread and broke of it, and
odd them to eat for it is my body,
which is broken for you. 1t was the
sacrament of which we partake of
Until the Lord comes again. When
Jesus was with his father he did not
,ay as Satan did, but merely "Thyl
will be done, and thine be the glory"
The same thing is exhibited in all
If his acts, and in all of his sayings.
Says he, Il did not come to do my
will, but the will of my father which
ent me-" When his disciples asked
i'm how to pray, he told them to
ay "Our father which art in heaven,
by will be done, for thine is the
,ingdom and glory forever and ever.
These were the sentiments with
which he was imbued, and after he {
vas reSurrected he told his disciples
low mankind should be saved
through his blood and his atone |
nent. 1t behOoves us as the Chill
rem of Israel to be careful what we I
%, for we need daily and
.Ourly the sustaining hand of
he omniscient and need to
duplicate in the name of Jesus '
jhrist, who is our savior.
Let us not then seek to have our |
way so much, but to strive, like 1
esuS, to find out the will of God.
t is our duty to seek the will of
iOd, not our will; his glory, not our
lory. 1t is for the presidents of

ion of those above them, and for L
he twelve to listen to advice in the
anne way, that we may be prepared 7

The choir sang the hymn on page
So:
he spirit of God like fire is burning. 5
The latter-day glory begins to come {
