tigate they would arrive at better
conclusions with regard to the posi-
ton they occupy, and would cease
to cry down the idea Of the neces-
sity Of apostles. prophets, etc., in
every age Of the world. There is
abundance of evidence that the
gospel was to be taken from the
earth in ancient times and restored
in this age. Some of the evidence
is given by John in Revelations,
and now appears in various parts of
the Holy Bible. Now, the gospel
had been restored in his age, as it
had been promised, and il would
stand forever, for it is an everlasting
gospel, Interchangeable in any partic-
ular. 1t had been restored in the
manner that had been toretOld.
through the agency af holy angel
from the courts Of heaven. This
gospel was to be preached to all the
world as a witness unto man before
the end comes. No one is except
from hearing the message, and each
must receive it aud be saved or re-
ject and be damned.
