outgrowths of the teachings OF Martin
Luther. Martin Luther's was a great
work; he had great light yet the light that
he had was not comparable with the light
given to Joseph Smith. 1t was as the
stream is to the mighty ocean. Martin
Luther was stern in the maintenance of
the doctrines he advocated. He acknowl-
edged many errors in his own but would
not recant scriptural revelations. Circum-
stances brought him against things 500
years old. Persecution naturally followed.
Prosecutions forced our fathers to this
land and their acts were inspired by God.
George Washington was led by God. Was
he then revelator! In a way he was. The
spirit of God dwelt in his heart. There
were brighter and more brilliant men of
his time, but none so pure minded He was
not the Trainer of the constitution but saw
the danger threatening and called together
the convention to frame the constitution.
The same spirit that then manifested itself
led to the cutting out of the mountains,
! without hands, the little stone. Joseph
Smiths prayer was answered and the
priesthood given to him. Thus we
are here here to-day. Twenty-six years ago
President Woodruff propEesied Of
temple. Comes back twenty years later
and refers us to it. These things are the
result of the spirit and priesthood Of God.
Nine-tenths Of the people here live in their
own homes, but will they retain them!
The outside clement is coming among US and
offering every inducement to us to sell our
homes to them. There will be war which
we must sustain for the defense of liberty
when the spirit of liberty will be devel-
Oped. Let US countenance no opposition to
the counsels of those above US. President
Woodruff is the mOuthpiece of God and
through him we receive light and revela-
ton. Who is prepared to obey the man
dates of the priesthood! Who is ready to
deed all his property over to the priest
hood If necessity required! No children
of his who departed from the principles of
the gospel should inherit his property. We
must keep our property among ourselves,
not sell our inheritances to outsiders. The
day will come when outsiders will have to
leave. We were driven from our own at
Missouri and Illinois; do not give them
chance of again driving US by selling them
our inheritances That the kingdom of
God shall be established and that our lives
ahall be long in the land of God, is my
prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.

rainy conference morning. Regardless of
rain, open wagons and covered carriages

was in the best of spirits and occupied the
time for over an hour. Spoke of the danger
a speculative spirit of gain was to the peo-
pie. Gave history of the speculative wave
that swept over the United States in the
days of the church at Kirkland. Also of
the sanctity of the Lords anointed. How
David of old, though Saul was his enemy
and sought his life, refused on two occa-
sions to take the life of Saul when Saul
was by circumstances placed in his hands.
That this sanctity was still a consecrated
right of the chosen of the Lord.
The authorities were presented by Elder
James A. Leishman.

spoke of the true repentance of the people
turned away from the wrath of God. Gods
great love wishes to save all According to
sincerity of sinners will be the fOrgivness
given. God is as sure to forgive as are
sparks to fly upward. Not only seven
times but seventy times seven. He will
forgive as often as his people will turn unto
him.
