Timothy said: Neglect not the gift that
is in thee, which was given thee by pro-
phecy, with the laying on of the hands
OF the presbytery" The Holy Ghost
was obtained by prophecy. Who, in the
world, believes thisY Very few. Paul,
in the first Corinthians, xii chapter, ex-
planned the spiritual gifts, and the power
OF the Holy Ghost. But what do the
world say OF anyon who will proclaim
it? The same as those in ancient DAYS
said of Jesus: Cruelty himl cruelty
hiIn!" The world did not believe in
direct revelation; the Saints do. Reve-
lation was the foundation of the church.
In the words of Paul he could say: III
any man preach any other gospel unto
you than that ye have received, let him
be accursed." These doctrines seemed
new to strangers, but they were as old as
the Bible. He next referred TO the gov
eminent OF the church, and said it
should be governed by officers accord
ing to the plan laid down by Paul, when
he wrote: And he gave some apostles
and some, prophets; and some, evangel-
lists; and some, pastors and teachers
for the perfecting of the Saints, for the
work OF the ministry, for the edifying of
the body of Christ" For the perfecting

needed perfecting somewhat; their chill
dren were being given too much liberty
and were breaking the Sabbath in Yari-
Gus way. He exhorted all to have Il
watchful eye over the rising generation
and forbid them attending many places
where evil and temp ltions were ia their
way. He counseled all to live lives of
virtue, so that when the world reYiled
them they could realize the saying OF the
Savior: "Reioice, and be exceeding
glad; for great is your reward in
| heaven; for so prosecuted they the
prophets which were before you He
| bore testimony to the truth OF the
gospel as preached by the Latter-day
Saints; that the kingdom of God was
the same as seen by Daniel, which
should break in pieces all others. BY
| force of arms No; By the force OF truth.
! Men would never be able to stop its
growth. He prayed for comfort for the
wives and children of the martyred el-
ders; for the rising generation. In con-
clusion he alluded to the cry OF the
world against the practice of plural mar
riage, and contrasted the condition of
affairs in Utah, where honorable we'd

! in the southern States, where large

were mulattoes, asked who was respOn-
sible for them and said the children OF
those who strained at gnat and swaI-
lowed camel in regard TO the Nor
mons. He spoke of the rottenness ex-
listing in certain circles, in which mar
riage was ignored altogether; referred
! 10 the honor Of motherhood, and the
craving OF the women Of old to become
mothers that they might not be re-
