say sav a few days ago ago I 1 we inay may preach till dooms doom s day to t this tilis people but except we sot set the example they will never make a 4 move and I 1 feel that albis tb is is true truo tru 3 lna ind and ina it is a shame upon us if we wan wand presidents young kimbail kimball and veils velis to lead us ui an we must follow their in and example t amp amr le add and unless we do this they may i wear their lungs out preaching and the people will not be s saved ved they hive lot got kot the care of their cami fa i lieland lia lie libs 1183 sand land the care of this whole people deop a upon them ans and ay it is indeed a shame that men who bear abe holy priesthood should be a walking in darkness and sin ia in this lat late a day das we have all committed sins bills enough to make us jn berrit herrit arit s sorrow forrow 0 arow and misery y because of our transgressions 1 I feel that when these men wen point out tile the way we hould should be ready to walk therein and we ought ough tto to have havo the th stant cirit of god about Cs ts enough to block up eie hie wheels instead of them having to 6 carry vs is how long shall til ill these esa thin things thinas 9 q be how long iong will w a lie lle and swear and arid commit sin when those men whom god has laid afie responsibility upen apen are constantly calling upon us to awake and do our duties I 1 do want to see such a day as a we have bave seen if the people are afraid that our leaders leaders tol wol will bide tilde themselves it i ves yes is estime time they w were e ire lre swept atay away and I 1 hope if ever here there is adoth another e war that they will be the first t men who will hide bide themselves who wants to live five and have haven ti them e in die they twy have haye
