After briefly tracing the growth
OF the Church until it has reacbsj
us present proportions, the speaker
referred to the remarkable r5lSI.
ment OF The prediction :, th.
Prophet Joseph in -erar,i 10 tbs
War OF the Reaeliion. Year, h,sars

was led by the Spirit Of God not only
70 preiict A great ciSil war I'm rms
land, but 70 ssll the cause whisb
would Produce T.; and be went 90
TAR, under the inspiration OF the
Almighty, as 10 designate the place
where the strife would commence.
Speaking Of the judgments and
cslamities which il had been de.
clared should be pouref ont, ut,on
those nations which rejected the
VOID Of God, the speaker asked.
What DO We fad in those places
where our Elders have been deridetj,
where their testimony has been. re- 1
lected, meeting with no response in
the hearts Of the people? WHY, that I
trouble Is brewing among them.
that theis hearts are now filed with /
a fear Of something about TO occur.
sut which they cannot n understand. 4
And this kind OF fear fills the !
minds OF men in high positions in
this nation In ZONE parts Of the
Onion secret organizations exist 1
which threaten the peace and safety |
Of communities. In the Southern /!
States men are aSsaSsinated because
they raise their hands egaist crime.
and threatening letters are sent 10
prominent individuals because they
1are to call upon the officers Of the
law to suppress crime aud drive out
criminals. In.this country, again,
We find that wealth IL being concen-
rated In the hands of few-that a
condition prevails here similar TO
hat which exists in Great Britain,
where il il said some hundred men
,wn more than half the land. There
Ire found men, too, in this country
the titles 10 the land into
heir own hands, renting out their
and deriving a big income
rom the poor farmer who tilis the
oil. The statement Is made,
indeed. that landlordism ex-
SIS TO a far greater extent
n these United States than in the
british Dominions. These men are
Ot seeking the welfare Of the labor
lg classes, or the people generally.
lost Of them are unscrupulOus, and :
= INSCRIPTIONS means have sue {
eeded in amassing great wealth. I
he fight between capital anu labor ,
a source Of great danger to the
eople, and the minis OF these !
lOneyed ones are filed with appre- :
Of anarchy; they fear that a
he masses will rise up against \
lem AID demand what they deem 4
} be their rights. i
Latter-dsy Saints, have your eyes \
pen TO the events which are occur q
ng around you and study them by a
he light OF the Holy Ghost. tina. you G
Iay see therein how COLLABORATING i
fulfil His word anti that your Z
18th may be thereby strengthened. V
D the work among the Latter-lay a
hints there Is n paRacea for all n
lose evils which exist In the world. Z
Re should always be seeking 10 y
now what the will of God is con-
.rning US, SO that in the day Of v
ouble, in the dsy OF wars and a
lmors Of wars we may stand in a
1ly places and build a refuge for b
Ie oppressed Of the nation. When II
Ilanities are poured out upon the o
alton, then will the righteous turn I,
cir eyes Zionward and see in these 2
among these humble a
atter-dsy Saints, a people who are
peace with each other and with
e worlJ; they will see the place
here the Spirit OF God dwells: for
here He dwells there is no. strife,
, contention; nothing but peace !"
ID goodness
Do not spend your time in idle Fl
Ily, TO fault finding, in aiming to Vi
ther wealth, but seek 10 difl0se u
Iowledge, to gain wisdom from the "a
uree Of all light and intelligence. b
elk to have the Spirit Of God in
ar hearts, 50 that whenever you "
E tried you will see in your trials :,
e hand Of God aad acknowledge :,
Thus you will have peace and =,
tety and finally eternal life. ii
