Show f remarks marnen farren S snow tabernacle G S I 1 city sunday afternoon dec 27 1557 i T 1 REPORTED BY LEO hawking Bi brethren ethren and sisters I 1 look around this congregation gre gation and see people from almost every nation of theearta the earth alid and the question arises in my mind what iirene are we hert heri hero herp for the answer would be of course to serve the lord our god do D 0 all of us As BS a community do this do we keek keep the tale commandments mand ments of f the alf lord our god and baten haien io 40 the instructions of those who are over us uit if we do so we are a 1 I happy people and andar are afa fit subjects to partake of the emblems of tha Iha thele broken body and spilt blood of our lord and savio savioz which are now novi before us and it would be beiter better for us if we are not worthy to partake of these emblems elp lems to withdraw why says one we have not transgressed against the lord or brok broh broken brohen enany igny isny of his commandments but just look at it for a moment and realize how easy it is for us to transgress against him whom we have not seen by transgressing against those we have sien seen been let lei us take this matter into consideration and inquire in our own minde minds and add feelings have we transgressed any law or counsel that lias has been heen given unto us by those whom we have seen thel thebe these se who are placed over us as presidents bishops teachers husbands hus bends fathers ac ac I 1 recollect reading in tile he scriptures that when the iha son of man should come in in his glory he would saito those on his left liand hand depart from moe roe ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared pie pared for the devil and his angels for I 1 was all an hungered and ye gave me no meat I 1 was thirsty and ye gave me drink I 1 was a stranger and ye yeto took tooh oli me tile not in naked and arid ye clothed me not sick and in prison and ye visited me not says they in answer when did we seg sea thee naked ac and not minister to thee then shall shail lie he say inasmuch as ye did it n not to oneff the least of these those my disciples ye did it not to ine inc so we see leebow how necessary it is to be careful to carry out every instruction of those who are set to instruct us in the things of the kingdom of god if we love lote the lord we will keep III ili hig his sayings and if we love our brethren we will 11 listen steh to their counsel arid and do whatsoever they tell us in all my observations I 1 ia a regard to the kingdom of god from the earliest rise of this church to the present time I 1 have seen that when the saints of god have listened to the ine voce and obeyed the instructions of those who are over them no power has ever prospered that has come against them but as ag soon as they have fallen into transgression gres sion slon and become cold in her hor feelings then the chastening cha chast fling hand band of the almighty was upon them 1 we can see this from the he present movement of our enemies and the fear that has overwhelmed t them arid and they cannot tell the reason of it I 1 am of tile the opinion and I 1 infirmly firmly believe boileve bo lieve that when the proclamation was issued by tile the governor and this territory placed under martial law that bad had this people kept all their covenants and been faithful ul in in carry carrying nig cut the instructions they hey received that body of men never would have come this ibis side of the south pass but they ware warb permitted to come closer into our borders lilian we expected well it made us brin bring 9 our faith and arid w works arks into action that we mi might lit fend off the blows of the destroyer we have been taught tau glit for years ever since we I 1 have been located in thess thesa alleys to cultivate I 1 the earth that we might raise grain erain alid and lay it up in store against the day of famine and war and had llad we listen listened liste nad pad cd to the instructions of those who are over us and followed out their couii fol FoI at all times we would have 1 ye b lieen een in id a far better condition than we now are we have been counseled to get sheep and to sow eow flax and hemp and to cause the earth to bring brin forth alt ait pl tup tum things which we need to make inae us us comfortable in in the line of clothing had I 1 we v e

upon affy any single point aseere where the prophet of god sas aas given giren us counsell and aud nd it has not come just in time lime lime lima to pre 1 t careus for the worst but w we have ave beeri been rl negligent 91 I 1 1 ent and have not given heed to his co counsels u nse use I 1 s as we should have done we se see now dhe abs necessity of doing ast th tb ohi ose over us have told hs las concerning grain against the day of famine and of making makina our own clothing and all necessary a and n d I 1 think we will see it far more before many years the tile rne mercies reles of god have been great unto us and what is now the saing saying of the prophet to us live your reil religion gion glon keep the commandments of tile llie lord and we shall be delivered from our ene inies mies Is it not encouraging we have many of us had an e experience rca for twenty seven years in the church chuoc all of god apon upon the earth and arid every word that was pred predicted iced b by tile tiie the prophet joseh joseph in his day has been fulci fulfilled jy ed is is beginning to b ba fulfilled alid will be fulfilled so it is in the day in iq which vh cli cil wa we live fi ve the tiie sayings of the prophets ar are beg beginning hining to be fulfilled will we now fullow their counsel conniel and go to and sow flax and hemp bemp and I 1 aise laise sheep and arid cattle and wheat corn barley and rye and arid lay jay it up ia in store against a lale laie time of want I 1 should I 1 not think it at all stran strange gye if it before five or t ten e leaie ais als I 1 many

of of jod god are defending hil fil his bis cause upon tile the earth let this he be as it may our main maln effort should be to keep tile the commandments ments of god and arid if we will not keep the sa saying indof those who are over oper us we are liars in id stead undoing th tho tha will of god be because caule cavie if we will not dot listen to tile the counsel of the servants of god goi we would nott noti note keep heep beep the commandments of joheson the son of god it if lie he was here in a our midst though gli zil it is tile the same as if lie he was here hero himself for it is by the same power and priesthood we ar are dictated as were the ancient israelites or file the church of christ when sf jr sis s was upon the llie earth eaith and when we come in contact with that pa iest lest hood we come in contact with him who gave it to us V many of i you yoa ii have ave not beheld the face of f joseph in iii the flesh and have mourned because you did not riot lavein jn bisty his day orid and arid because you yoa ou have not passed through the afflictions persecutions and dr ivings that mally many of thia thi people have let me tell you ou if i we will now live our religion we can see joseph dwelling in these my brethren and when they speak ak the tile voice of joseph is heard beard in them and you will have plenty to 0 o go through 3 just list as much persecution as you can bear hear and unless we are on our guard we diall be overthrow u As the preside president it has said there is an opposite in all thing things and the adversary is bringing all III ili his powers to bear to overthrow the kingdom of god a and nd those who serve him they are pre preparing parine pariDe the weapons of death to destroy this tills from the face of the earth then how necessary sary for us to do right that when we are brought beffie our enemies the power of bcd may be made manifest through us as his servants I 1 can look back some twenty four years ago when this church and kingdom was but a small plant it gas was like liko the tender blade of corn that r springs from tile the earth while now it has become almost a multitude multi uda ula atle ude of people and instead of numbering some fifty persons there are hundreds of thousands who wiio h have ave avo now a name and a standing in tho kingdom of god with regard to the persecutions which chwe kwe have been called to pass through they are like the mustard stalk which was growing ia in a mans garden and he tried to kick it out but only scattered the seed and next year in place of one stalk ten thousand sprung up and it became like unto a tree and the tha fowls of the air came to ledge lodge in it I 1 the ho honest biest iii in hear heart tare are being gathered from tile the nations of the earth unto these valleys where wo we can acknowledge the tire principles of the tiie kingdom of god and have the privilege of sitting under tile the sound sourd of the voice of the prophets of god and I 1 thank my god this day lay that I 1 have the privilege of living in the tha day of Prophet prophets 3 and that I 1 live in a day when the power of god is made mada manifest upon the earth many of our forefathers looked the vista of t time fine and beheld our day and died as pilgrims ims 11 upon pon the earth I 1 rejoice that I 1 live in tuia tula day and age of the wor world id we heard this forenoon the responsibility the president derit dorit was under to god in behalf of this people and his bro brethren fhren thren with him but I 1 will tell you we are responsible to sustain them by our oar falth faith and works and let us not say eay because such euch and such things are not fulfilled just at the moment that they are it is unbelief that is I 1 in us and not them and the tradition which is around us but as quick as al 1 we will as a people do all things whatsoever they commit to our oar charge this kingdom will rise there will be no tio stoppage but you will see it increase more and more it is is for us to stand betwixt our leader and danger t and I 1 feel to be one of that number while they have for many years watched oyer over me with tile the spirit and power of the calling that is upon them I 1 have endeavored to stand betwixt them and those who would destroy them in this tilis I 1 want to increase that I 1 may remain faithful and be true to my trust that where they go I 1 may go where eliere they live I 1 may live and whet e they die I 1 may die and when they are resurrected I 1 may be resurrected and with them inherit eternal lives in til the kingdom of my father Fat lier ller these are my fe feelings clings this is my faith and I 1 know that this is tile tiie kingdom of god that joseph seph smith was a true prophet and that prophets yet lir live e that his successor is a prophet of god as arb arte those associated with him this Is MY ray testimony to this congregation this is is the first time you have heard beard my voice jn in this ilc lic house tise iise and I 1 bear my testimony to these things lings ti and I 1 feel t eel cel what I 1 testify to and expect to have to meet it in eternity my feelings are towards this people my faith is unshaken and I 1 pray god my heavenly father to preserve his servants the tha prophets upon the flie earth that hey they may live to see eee this kingdom established among amon ail all nations kindreds kindre dg tongues tongues and people and live to see zon redeemed and ond a house housse built upon the consecrated spot III in jackson county and enjoy the privilege ei and blessings thereof
