The person who has received the
blessings of the gospel, cannot be
gEeryed from the line of duty in the
hour OF trial. A law has been given
INTO US by God to obey, which will
bling US His blessings. If we do not re-
ceiye them, it is an evidence of our I'M
aithfulness; for God, our Father, will not
fail to keep His promises. If we suffer
Imprisonment without a murmur and
set conscientiouSly before God, our
conduct must have weight with the
honest, unprejudiced and intelligent
Of the world. To-day the Christian"
ministryare Selling every opportunity to
incense the people of the world against
the Lltter-day Saints, just as
did the people in the days of
the Savior, Jesus Christ, who preferred
that robber should be released into
their company, but insisted that the
NnOf God should be Crucifed. The
enlightenment of this, the nineteenth
century, produced a similar parallel;
butGod has declared that His Kingdom
Mould be set up in these the last days,
and should never be thrown down. nor !

naypass laws, but they never will be per-
nitted to overcome the purposes of
