Territory. Lee lied to President
L Dung, saying that ne (Lee) had
nothing to do with the massacre.
! The leaders of this people have lab
0red to save men and not to DESTROY
them. President Young was very
much concerned on account of the
commission of the deed named.
Ihe yoke the Jews placed them
serves under by taking upon them
serves the consequences { f shedding
the blood Of the Savior was still
heavily borne by Russian and other
eastern Jews. The speaker desired
tnat the saints obtain more faith to
combat with the emergencies in the
near future. The traditions of the
sectarlan world are contrary 10 the
revelations of God. Upon the
shoulders o. the saints rests the
work OF the carrying out of the
purposes OF God. He does not look
to Messrs. Talmage, Beecher or any
OF the popular men or any other
people on earth to do it. The world
| don't understand that tbs priest
hood is restored and they do not
understand our motives and princi-
pies. The eyes of the heavens and
i, the angels are over this people and
we are expected to do a greater
work than was expected Of any
generation. Jesus declares that
any man who will thrust in his
sickle and reap the same is called.
Joseph Smith used to say he wished
to Goa he could Unbosom his feel
ings, but the saints could not stand
it. The revelation given in answer
> to Joseph Smiths prayer when in
Liberty jail contained much useful
+ information. The priesthood is to
be used only for the accomplishment
Of the purposes of God, and when
man undertakes to bGild himself up
by the use thereof he soon pulls
himself down. With this people
= the motto should be the king
dom of God or nothing. He
will be held accountable for the
}, priesthood and the use we put it to.
. The difference between us and the
world is because we, having the
spirit of God, have been born again.
:. God has re established his church
upon the ancient foundation OF
IapOsttes, Christ Jesus being the
corner stone. What was death to
I Paul after he had received the
spirit of God? When men have the
/ Esprit of their calling they don't
S fear death. When a child, the
e speaker often prayed that he might
|. live to SEGA prophet or an apostle
! land felt TO rejoice when he saw one
IS Men ara Oh mission here, and the
f mission of the saints IS 10 preach
/ the gospel to the people and to re
e deem the world by the power o.
! God. When men pass the Other
# side of the vail, they retain the in
% telligence obtained here, Let every
n one be faithful to his mission
# on earth. The speaker was
If sorry for the result OF
= the corruption of the government
d of the United States for it W0ulC
n enevitably work their destruction
vi No man can SOW evil and not real
t evil. He was &c years old in New
IT England before any murder wa
T. ever committed there, and then tn
Ic people were SO shocked that i
ID caused numbers to mourn. How
h many murders occur every weel
" now? God requires great work a
t. our hands, work of redemption tt
Ie the nations of the earth, May tn
IS spirit of God be with the people.
