by knowledge; so long as man will
not give heed to the commandments,

man is his own tormentor, and is his
own condemner: hence the saying they

| said no man can commit the
objectionable sin after the diSso-
luton of the body, but they must do
it in this world: hence the salvation of
Jesus Christ was wrought out for all
men in order to triumph over the
devil; for if it did not catch him in
one place, it would in another, for he
stood up as Il Savior.
The contention i'm heaven was, Jesus

the devil rebelled against God and
fell, and all who put up their heads

after man has sinned against the
Holy Ghost there is no repentance for

Saints. When "a man begins to be an
enemy, he hunts me. They seek to
kill me, they thirst for my blood, they

that they had who crucitied the Lord
of Life, the same spirit that sins
against the Holy Ghost. You cannot

cautious, await. When you find a
spirit that wants bloodshed, murder,
the same is not of God, but is of the
devil. Out of the abundance of the
heart, man speaketh' The man that

for Jesus said, in my Fathers house
there are many mansions, etc. There
is one glory of the sun, another glory
of the moon, and another glory of the
stars, etc. We have reason to have
the greatest hope and consolation for
our dead, for we have aided them in
the first principles; for we have seen
them walk in our midst, and seen
them sink asleep in the arms of Jesus.
And hence is the glory of the sun.
