MANY AS WOULD NOT HEARKEN
UNTO MY VOICE" pearl Of Great
Price, Moses 4:l-4)
Thus II is shown that before this
earth was tenanted by man, Christ
and Satan, together with the hosts
Of the spirit-offspring of God. existed
as intelligent individuals. with ability
and power of choice, and freedom
to follow the leaders whom they
elected to obey. In that innumerable
concourse of spirit intelligences. the
Fathers plan. whereby His children
would be advanced to their second
estate, was submitted and doubtless
discussed
Satan's plan Of compulsion, where
by all would be forcibly guided
through mortality, bereft of freedom
to act and agency to choose. SO cir
cumscribed that forfeiture of saliva
ton would be impossible, and not
one soul could be lost, was rejected;
and the humble offer of Jesus the
Firstborn-to live among men as their
Exernplar. observing the sanctity of
mans agency, while teaching men
to use Alright that divine heritage
was accepted The decision brought
war, which resulted in the vanquish-
ment of Lucifer and his angels. and
they were cast out, deprived of the
boundless privileges incident to the
mortal or second estate.
Ever since the beginning Of hu-
man existence on earth, the deposed
son of the morning" and his fol-
lowers have been composing the
captivity of souls. THE PLAN OF
SALIVA TION IS THE GOSPEL of
LIBERTY. And now. in these the
last days. Immediately precedent TO
the return of Christ. who shall
come to rule in righteousness on
earth. the arcb-fiend is making an
other desperate effort to enthrall
mankind under the autocracy of
hell. The conflict under which the
earth groans is a repetition of the
pre-mundane war. whereby the free
agency of man was vindicated; and
the eventual issue of the current
struggle is equally assured.
Our own great Nation has enter
ed the bloody conflict in defense of
the God-given rights Of man. 1t
is no less due to their sense of re-
ligious duty than to their obliga-
tions as citizens of the Republic
that members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
in America have responded so readi-
ly and effectively to the call for
service in support of the Govern
ment. which they verify. affirm has
been established through direct in
spiration. from Heaven. 1t is con-.
trary to the revealed word of God
that any man. shall exercise ar
bitrary dominion over his fellows.

"ANb THERE WAS WAR IN
HEAVEN: MICHAEL AND HIS AN
GELS FOUGHT AGAINST THE
DRAGON; AND THE DRAGON
FOUGHT AND HIS ANGELS. AND

THEIR PLACE FOUND ANY MORE

from. heaven, and at the time of his
first recorded activity among mortals
he was a fallen being.
In this antemortal contest the forces
were unequally divided; Satan drew
to his standard only a third of the
spirit children of God CRey. 1874; Doc
trine and Covenants 1855 and 76:25-
O. while the majority either fought
with Michael or refrained from active

forfeited. the glorious possibilities OF
an advanced or second estate" (Pearl
OF Great Price. Abraham 3:a6). The
victory was won by Michael and his
angels; and Satan, heretofore a "son
OF the morning." was cast out OF
heaven, yea he was. cast out into
the earth. and his angels were cast
out with him." (Rev. 12:9.)
About eight centuries prior TO Johns
time, the principal facts of these
momentous occurrences were revealed
TO Isaiah the prophet, who lamented
with inspired pathos the fall of so
great q one as Lucifer, and specified
selfish ambition as the cause. Read
lisa. H:12-l5.
The question at issue in the war in
heaven is of first Importance to
humankind. From the record of
Isaiah we learn that Lucifer, then OF
exalted rank among the spirits,
sought to aggrandize himself without
regard to the rights and agency of
others. He aspired to the unrighteous
powers Of absolute autocracy. The
principle for which Michael, the
archangel, contended, and which Luc-
ifer, son of the morning, sought to
nuiiify. comprised the individual
liberties, the free agency Of the spirit
hosts destined to be embodied in the
nesh. The whole matter is set forth
In revelation given to Moses and
repeated through Joseph Smith, the
first prophet OF the present dispensa-
ton:
"AND /, THE LORD GOD, sPAKE
