IS not the equality that the Lord means.
The Lord will give to as according TO
our circumstances and our wants. Some
families will be larger than others. Some

his brethren will think prudent and
Iudicious. Thus the poor will have their

The lesson that ] would like TO i'm.
press upon our heafls-lor IN speaking
TO you speak 10 myscll-is, let us teach
our children these principles, let rs
teach them that they are in the earth,
not 10 labor for their own qualification,
and TO accumulate wealth for themselves,
but to benefit humanity. 10 De a blessing
10 their race, TO iill the earth as far as
they can with gladncss by their presence,
that we may raise an unsclhsh race Of
men, men that will have higher aspira.
tons aud aims than the mere gfatifca.
and appc,ites. Teach the children self

among as. Brethren and sisters, want
10 say TO you that as sure as God lives
this order will be brought about. and IL
will be with rs as was with the children
OF Israel who came out OF Egypt-if we
do not do II We will be removed, and a
generation will be raised up that will do

purposes, and no power can prevent 10.
Remember the condition Of the children
Of Israel aud what beiel them. Their
cafcases fell by the roadside In the
wilderness, because they would not come
up to the standard that God had &c.
vealcdt They not only persisted but
the MeIchisedrk Priesthood was taken
from their midst, aud everyone over
twenty years Of age that came out Of
Egypt, except two, Of all the hosts Of
Israel, laid down his lite IN the wilder.
