IL would appear, from tue spirit Of this
prayer ana from the phfmeoloyy Of n,
that ite tendency aud Its concentration
OF purpose would oil point 10 that great

now engaged. All the viciseituu,s
OF the Iatterday work, how
ever pleuaant Or unpleasant they
may stem to W, nre cOuched
in, contemplated by, and constitute n
part Of this great movement, which IL
10 bring to pass the great event here
spoken OF. The work Ghich II upon us
In these latter days, as IL appears 10 my
mind, IL the greatest dispensation that
has been given 10 man, or that any OF
the Prophets have considered, unless
we should except the grand, the deep

aud the altar. In that potential saying
was cOuched a responsibility devOlving
upon that generation which the human
mind, without the revelations OF the
Holy Ghost, cannot comprehend.

Prophet Joseph, while with us, Ia
bored continually TO unfold to our
view, by setting forth In come OF his
last setmons the great responsibility
that rests upon the people to hunt out
and administer for tnoir dead Tor the
gathering together OF oil things which
are in Christ, which are In heaven and
which are upon the earth What n
