" Elder King said he could conceive Of
nothing 50 desirable as a knowledge
Of God There are so many problems
N life that cannot be explained that
man is forced to look elsewhere ana
believe in a supreme being. The ques-
lion might be asked why the Latter-daS
SAINTS journeyed to the desert to make
their homes. 1t might be answered, IT
was for the love OF truth. Parts of
the gospel were in the world, but the
truth in its entirety was not TO be
found The schlsms and sects in the
world point to this fact. Such divi-S
sions as now exist, and the religious
iellds of the past, would not l1ave.
been possible if the truth had been
enjoyed. If the gospel IN its entirety
is not TO be found in the world, then
1t Is reasonable to look for It's restora-
ton Such a thing should not excite
antagonism. The day when unity
would prevail in all the world, When
the lamb and the lion Should lie down
together, has been long predicted.
Each generation should advance and
attain higher ground Error and ig-s
norance produce discord. Truth and
as truth becomes more widely diffused,
unity Will grow in the hearts OF the chit
5dren of men.
The world of Industrial and econom-
teal activity is divided. Artificial lin
itations are set up by the folly of men.
Uniformity is found everywhere but
among mankind. Evolution is found
IN nature for the development of higher
forms OF human life. Evidence is
found that nature works in an orderly
and systematic manner. To produce it's
object. But among men feuds and bit
terness exist. God desires union and
coordination. 1t Should not excite
surprise because the Latter-day Saints
say that revelation from God is neces-
sary for that contamination.
foreclosures mon feel in contemplate
ing John the Baptist and the Savior
as we'll as the prophets Of the
past and their teachings should be felt 4
In the declaration today that God has
sent truth to the earth by another
prophet, Scientific truths and Sother
truths propounded by men cause re-
]olclns Why should not men rejoice
in the fact that God has restored truth
70 the earth by revelation in these
days.
The gospel OF Christ is not for, the
few but for all the world No great
truth, economical, political or religious
Is for one sect alone. Truth is for all
the world, and when truth is not fol-
lowed, dlscords and dissensions result.
Mormonism. said the speaker, is not Il
new thing, In probably 10000 pupits
IN the world men are praying for
peace and choirs are chanting Its
praises, and yet many would refuse
what they ask for were / presented
70 them, In these days God has. re-
yealed truths that tend to unite an
mankind. The great men of the world
nave been, as a rule, men of lowly
extraction. God has chosen the weak
things Of the world He referred to the
llle Of Abraham Lincoln who lowered
above many of his fellows IN spite Of
ms humble birth; So with regard

weak men and clothed them with His
spirit and filed them with power to
20 HIS bidding. 1t was thus with Jo-
seph smith. God took him when Young
ana taught him so that he was fitted
for his calling.
