1t may be well to turn from this fearsome picture
of the avenging prophet and his legion of wives,
with their ravaging crusade against the Government
and the people of the United States to the words
of Apostle John Taylor, another vicegerent of
God, who occupies of the inches of fame in
volume six of the Journal of Discourses Apostle
Taylor rhapsodzed
In relation to the kingdom of God, what is it?
Is it spiritual kingdom? Yes. Is it temporal
kingdom? Yes Does it relate to the spiritual af-
fairs of men? Yes. Does it relate to the temporal
affairs of men? Yes
''Was the kingdom that the prophet talked about
that should be set up in the latter times, going to
be church? Yes. And state? Yes, it was going
to be both church and state to rule both temporarily
and spiritually.
"The time to come, and now is that God

scoundrels to come here and infringe our sacred
rights? (|Nop responded throughout the Taber-

stick to it; we will maintain it and in the name of
lsraels God, the kingdom of God shall roll on,
and all the powers of earth and hell cannot stop its
progress. 1t is onward, ONWARD, ONWARD,
from this time henceforth to all eternity
Thus John Taylor, law giver pronounced the die
tum OF temporal power to the hierarchy, of the
union of church and state in the affairs of men, for
he declared that the church should rule both spirit
ualy and temporarily. And his associates and de-
scendants and the converts that have been gained
up to this day insist that the bogus apostle of
bogus prophet right and that the Savior of Man
was wrong when he taught the Christian world to
render unto Caeser the thngsc that Caesars
and unto God the things that are Gods"
According to the Journal of Discourses, Brigham
Young said further, quoting again from volume
five:
