APOSTLE HEBER J. GRANT
in the course of his remarks, said
love the principles Of truth and
equity that we have embraced
realize that when the batter-day
Saint hasa snowiedgs within his
own breast OF the principles OF w
Gospel and be knows he IS laooring
for the advancement Of mankind
and the lettering of his condition, u
/ matters no. what the world may
say. The I.atter-day Saints SNOW
that they are engaged in the WORK oil
God. They stand rs Peter st90u,
upon the rock OF revelation Inc
world has not revealed to them the
principles Of the Gospel; II has not
given them a testimony. thereof;
Revelation is given them from Goo
our Heavenly Father. They real
ise that He gives and takes away,
that. He holds the destiny Oh nations
In His bands. Each aud every Lat
ter-Gsy saint is working out his own
salvation, and no men or set Of men
can rob him Of il II he ,keel the com
mandments Of God. we may be I'M
prisoued aud robbed Of our rights
and Liberties, but if we are
honest, sober and true lie
will eventually reward US.
The Lltter-day Saints are an up
right and virtuous PEOPLE. Travel
from ono end Of the earth TO the
other and where they live you VIII
find a peace, happiness, brotherly
love, and affection ILLS their hearts
that the world knows not OF. The
word Of God Is onward and up
ward and It will triumph. Our
Lord and Savior was put 10 death,
but TINT did not stop His mission.
Christianity has grown from that
time, and t'truth though Crushed
20 earth will rise again" Although
The LGttef-iay Saints may be robbed
Of their rights and privileges, and
although the Supreme Court Of the
United States may hold constitu-
tional n test oath which deprives
them OF their rights and liberties in
Utah Territory, yet the day will
come when those rights and liberties
will be once more restored to US.
We are told That the Latter day
Saints do not loee their country
but / here deelare-and every
Latter-day Saint can echo the senti-
ment-that We 10 love the iEstitu-
tons Of our country, and we viii
yet live TO show that we are ready
and willing to stand upon the plat
foVm that men are entitled to rights,
20 happiness, and 70 the pursuit Of
religious liberty
We have been told that the tights
Of the people would be taken from
them. The Prophet Joseph Smith
predicted that, one 10y one, the safe
guards placed around religious
liberty wOt;id he removed from us;
but We have also been told that God
orr Heavenly Father Inspired the
tnei who established this country,
who established the constitution Of
the United States; and the SAME
Prophet whose words have been
fulfilled promised US that we would
eventually enjoy cur rights and
liberties. l pray that your lives may
lie above reproach, and that the
sweet and peaceful Influences Of the
Holy Spirit may descend upon you,
50 that you inay be able to say in
your hearts you are ready to suffer
wrong rather than do wrong.
