OF 81. George, neat spoke. lilo said
that n the Latter.dny Saints nfo any
thing they arc a people OF dratiny.
How manifold has the uvof.ruling
providence Of God over been them.
There arc many who, like the Laiier-dny
Saints. believe ia Goi tho Eternal
Father aud In his Son JrtuA Chrisi,
hut the Laltor-day saints telcve that
the voice OF Gud has been uttered from
the heavens ia this age, that John

frrrcd upon them the AaGOnic iriesi-
hood, that the angel which John ON
the fsle Of PatmOu saw In prophetic
vision flying IN the midst OF heaven
with the everlasting Gospel has ap-
reared, and that another great opoch
in the history Of the world has been
uabered In. The Gospel Is being
preached, nnd a. result Israel 10 being
gathered from the different nations OF
the earth. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Laltef-day Saints have been
trained under different religious intu.

they hEvs received Of the same G9spcl
anu are being gathered into one. The
Saints believe Ia what God has revealed,
In what he Is revealing anu
that He will yet reveal many things
In the future. The testimony OF tue

views. IL 10 this duty Of tho Sainls &
walk IN the path marked out ioi
them, that they should preach tn,
