things that he shall say unto them it is all new now to them they are astonished and say what does it mean I 1 wonder what is is this mormonism dior Alor monism coming to the lord will never come until he has organized his kingdom on the earth and prepared his people by sending a messenger to prepare the way before him that messenger has come and the man that delivered deli dell ered it has been slain namely joseph smith and by the instrumentality of that messenger here sit the apostles and prophet ets ordained lo 10 hold the keys of the kingdom of heaven inthe people had read the

watch ye fe therefore and pray always ye may be accounted worthy I 1 td escape ait alt that thai at shall come to pas pass s and to stand eland before t thel lie lle son of nian man 1 I 1 now I 1 know the habit of praying always in in christendom that is certain portions ns of them they he y pray in their families arid and in in secret and h have e prayer meeting meetings they pray for this that and the other othe r and say the theloris Lords prayer and a great many prayers but th the question is do the they y pray always ile he did not tell them to pray the lords prayer always particularly neither did he tell them not to 1 but this one prayer ile he did tell them to pray always and causes it to be written do WE fulfill it and do thy it is not to pray always nor to watch always but it is to pray this particular prayer always that we my may be accounted worthy to tot escape escape all these things filings that shall come to pass and stand before the son of man alan whatever else they might pray in all the varying circumstanced of their lives albright allright all right but this one thing they would bce sure to nee need d to be accounted worthy to escape all tho those ae things christ foretold and stand before him and why should they pray this always because it is not only the living generation that have to meet it and had need to be prepared but it was a chain of prophecy that would be gradually fulfilling from that time until he comes and whether they passed through the vail or remained in the flesh one thing filing was certain they would all have to meet some part of it it if they lived in jerusalem they would have some part ot of it to meet or if they were scattered among all nations they would have some sonie part of it to meet and if they live until there should be signs in the sun moon and pears and upon the earth distress of nations they would have some part of it to meet therefore whether they lived in modern br or in former times behind vail or on in this side gide of it it was necessary to pray always to be accounted worthy to escape all these things and stand stani before the son of dlan alan this would have hare c cautioned the drunkard a little and the miser a little the man who is is engaged gag d head heart and hand to accumulate all the riches odthe of the world and heap them up to himself and not use them to build up tip the king dom of god it would have told him not to have his heart overcharged over charged with the cares of this earth or with surfeiting surf suro surfeit eiting elting i ug and drunkenness drun kenni es if these words do not say gay 1 so 1 exactly another writer does who writes on the sam same subject take care how you get drunk how you are a 9 glutton lutton how you are wholly swallowed up in the care
