one, appreciate the freedom that we
enjoy and the opportunities that are
afforded us OF coming together and ex-
pressing our views and sentiments, ana
also of declaring freely that which We
believe the Lord has revealed and COM
manded US to deliver to others.
We are living IN very mOmentous
age, Sometimes II Is called a fast age.
II Is an age In which the
thoughts OF men can be transmitte 1
on the wings of lightning, as IL were,
70 all nations of the earth-to all
civilized nations, at least; a day when
we can quickly communicate with each
other, and when nations are brought
together by rapid means OF locomotion
and by the developments and discover
les OF science. There has been great
advancement In human knowledge In
many departments; but 1t appears TO
me that there has not been the same
degree of progress In regard to relig-
ious principles and actions.
UNBELIEF IN NEW REVELATION.
one reason for this is because the
people OF the present age depend
almost entirely upon that which was re-
vealed IN past ages The doctrine OF
present revelation Is not entertained by
very great many people. Those who
have been trained In the doctrines OF
modern Christianity, and who are paid
TO teach the people religious doctrines
believe that God did reveal himself in
former times, but that He does not

some people suppose. While, however,
they proclaim him infalllble In regard
to doctrine, they do not believe that he
receives new communications from the
Most High. They are with the Profess
tant world In this doctrine, that the
books of the Bible contain all that has
been written that Is essential for saliva
tion; that these books, when properly
understood and Interpreted by the min
listers of the church, contain all that
Is needful for people now. So that the
whole Christian world today depends
upon the things that were written hum
dreds Of years ago.
The Latter-day Saints. belonging to
the Church OF which / have the honor
TO be a member, take different ground
from this. Not but that we believe In
the scriptures We believe that the
books OF the Old and New Testaments
are profitable for u.s. that they are in
valuable; that the things written by the
prophets were inspired OF God; that
holy men OF old wrote and spoke as they
were moved upon by the Holy Ghost,
and that their words were the words
OF the Lord 10 the people to whom these
revelations were given, and that they
are profitable for US today. SO we be-
lieye In the Bible. At the same time we
think there are some mistakes in It,
through mistransation. and because
the original manuscripts have not been
handed down IN all their purity. But
taking the Bible as a whole, although
II was not revealed as a book Il Is a
splendid work; II is a priceless book; II
Is a guide to our feet and a lamp to
our path: for In II we learn what God
revealed in ancient times, and we get
today some OF His word that was de-
livered 20 the people in former days,
BIBLE AN INCOMPLETE RECORD.
The Bible does not contain all that
God revealed In former times. because
we can read in II OF a great many
things that were written by prophets,
which are not contained In that volume.
All the epistles OF the Apostles are not
contained In the New Testament. IL
speaks OF a number Of epistles written
by the Apostles, which are not TO be
found In that book, but which, no
doubt. were Just as valuable as those
which we have. Some OF them we're
not In existence when the book called
the Bible was compiled. The Bible Is
collection OF books, containing
words that were given az different peri
DDS by different persons. In different
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1901-12-07

ages, under different circumstances; and
these books we're not compiled by divine
commandment. The conyocation or
council which compiled them, did not
pretend that God had commanded 1t,
neither did thew pretend that God gave
them any word In the selection Of the
books which should compose the vol
ume. They put In what they thought
was right, and they threw under the
table what they thought did not COM
port with the others, But what We
have In the Bible IL a splendid colec-
ton of works written by men who were
inspired Of God In olden times and
from this book we can learn many great
and precious things which are, as
have said, Invaluable. The Latter-day
Saints believe, however just as the BIZ
BILE teaches that God is the same yes
terday. today. and forever. We also
believe. according TO the teachings OF
that book, that He is our Father, and
that we are His children; that all races
Of men, OF every nation, tongue and
people, are the offspring OF God that
the spiritual part Of man, the inward
being, which receives intelligence. which
retains its identity while the body
changes, and which remains intact, no
matter what may take place with the
outside coverlng-that that being is q
son or daughter Of the Great Eternal
God. who made the heavens and the
earth. the seas and the fountains OF
waters. Therefore, no matter what
may be our complexion, or the differ
ence between US In stature, In feature
and In color, we are brethren and sis
tiers, the offspring OF Deity. The spirit
OF man Is a son OF God.
GOD THE FATHER OF ALL.
This is what we believe; and, mark
you, this Is what the anclents believed,
as we learn by reading the Bible This
is what Jesus Christ emphatically pro-
claimed when He tabernacled on earth
among men. lie was born into the
world as we have been. He WIS a son
Of God THE Son Of God AS the New
Testament says, He was the beginning
OF the creation Of God "the frstborn
OF every creature" lie certainly was
not the frstborn among the sons Of
men on earth, as pertains TO the
body. But we understand by the reve-
lations Of God In our time, that
we are all the sons and the daugh-
tiers OF God, that We existed before we
came here IN the flesh and that Jesus
is our Elder Brother In very deed, as

bodies were formed out OF the earth
and the elements surrounding II. The
immortal spirit Is placed In the human
tabernacle prepared for II by the laws
OF generation, and the body Is quicken
ed by that spirit. AS we read In the
book Of job There ia a spirit In man;
and the inspiration Of the Almighty

man Solomon, In describing the disso-
luton of the body. as we read In Ec-
cleslastes. 18th chapter eth verse, fin

back 20 the elements out OF which {

which we call death takes place
therefore, we who live In the twente h
century are really and truly, so far as
our spiritual nature goes, the offspring
OF God, and He Is our Father. do you
not think that He will be Just as much
concerned In our happiness and welfare,
progress, enlightenment and etevnal
salvation, as He was OF those who lived
upon the earth IN former times? II APP

clusi0n 20 arrive at. God Is the same

Therefore, we can approach God we

find, we can knock and have the door

But religious teachers tell us there
Is no need for this now. Why not?
