Elder Hyrum NJ. smith expressed
gratitude for the blessings which the
Latter-day Saints enjoyed, which, II APP
peared to him were not always appre-
ciated. We are living I'm a day, he
said, when we have the privilege OF
the inspiration Of the Lord through
His servants In addition 10 the written
Scriptures. The testimony of the Holy
Ghost was more sure guide than the
cloud by day and the pillar OF fire
By night which guided Israel Of old,
ana had led the L.atter-day Saints aud
mad given them assurance ana knCW-
edge OF the truth OF the Gospel to know
without doubt that they are pu,trin
the course God has marked out for them
10 follow. SO long as the Latter-day
Saints retain the Holy Ghost they viii
have no doubt Of the truth, no doubt of
the Inspiration OF the written and
spoken words OF the servants OF tha
Lord
President Anthem II. Lund endorsed
the remarks Of Elder Hyrum M Smith,
that the Latter-day Saints had received
more revelations In q shorter time than
any other people the Lord had ever had
upon the earth. And the Saints need not
fear that they would not receive more
revelations, whenever they were ready
to carry them out. He related the Wis
ion OF Lehi, wherein 1t is shown that
those who fail to take hold OF the rod
of lron--the word Of God--'Hent astray.
The people need the word Of God, and
should not make the mistake Of think
grimmage in a manner acceptable to
the Lord, without faith ana without the
word Of God, They should be thankful
for the written and spoken word, and
not be led away by deluslve spirits; not
let so OF the iron rod lest they should
be- left To grope In darkness and be un-
able to return to the right path. The
Saints were cautioned against seeking
any occult channels to obtain knowl-
edge OF the future, and warned those
who claimed 10 have revelation for the
Church, not through the appointei
channel of the Priesthood, that they
were on dangerous ground.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
In the afternoon services President
Joseph II. Smith was the first speaker.
He spoke of the benefit the Brigham
Young university was 20 the people, and
the place where such an institution was
located should be noted for the kind
ness intelligence and consideration one
for another on the part Of the people,
lie had. I'm other places, noticed that
students Of the Church schools were
leaven that pervadcd the community
for good. He hoped this would be true
here,
President Smith read from the soy,
enth chapter Of Moroni the words OF
Moroni and commented thereon, In the
house OF God there must be order and
discipline and those who claim mem,
bership IN the Church must abide by
this discipline And II man sets him-
self up as q law to himself and refuses
TO be counseled and directed by hia
brethren who have been set to preside
he is ON the road TO apostacy, no mat
ter how good his intentions may be
when he starts out and unless he re-
pcnts he will be led away from the
Church
a man who departed from the rules
and discipline Of the Church was in
transsression, and the pcor G must be
obedient to the win Of God, not ignor-
antly or serv,lely but intelligently and
willingly. Otherwise they would be-
come like the rest OF the world, and we
cannot become like the rest Of the
world, We must do the will Of the
Father
