come here hare and tit sit down in our fine habitations a and 4 ln d upon pon our firms farms and inheritances and let this great dorkof the list last da days s borne come io to nat naught through ou our r carelessness and indifference no 0 brethren let it I 1 not be recorded in th the archives 0 of F t tte e eternal W orlif world that we e will thus do when 0 our fir brethren have stretched out

b een willing willi n 9 to do to us when we were in a scattered condition I 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 do nox not know what more pan be saidi said than what other speakers have already said upon this subject our fresi president deni said he would be glad to hame haive some six di discourses courses sch each si six hours long Fre preached ached to the people upon the subject of doing their duty unto others in regard to this fund and I 1 have no doubt he included every other duty between man and man so far asit as it could be done in in that short period of tithe for 06 hours would not begin to be ti airn in eno enough I 1 f for or a man to lell the people all their ditties atties many maly people think that diat alt all the duties of i man are recorded in in the bt bible ble that idea ideas is held by i many odthe of the sectarian world they thins this bookson boob book contains all the duties in regard to the relationships between toan and man and that it is is a sufficient rue of faith and i ean enough to govern alien in all their de dealings alin g w wath 1 th each other othe r and in their dipti duties tes towards their gud GA let motell mif tell you if any one mans duties if f lie lived to be an old nap map were clearly written I 1 and foretold before lie he was bri it would take a larger volume than the balcita again contain in alciem a al 11 and when we consider the thousands andthil lions of human beings that are op oil the eart earth h BOW and tile the millions that have dropped into their graves grave in i Q ages ge s past it to suppose that one such volume could point out all their duties e yen even if they all could have been foretold byllie spirit of prophecy I 1 I 1 r for instance the duties of today to day if written would require something like one page and as every day s duties would be diff different different trent the one front from theother the tho other it leopld would require three hundred and sixty five pages in one year A which in seventy years would amount to upwards of thousand pages which would have to be recorded to point out the duties of one individual towards his fellow man thlik not then lihen that six aix discourses Ois courses each only six hours houis long could make known to you oie whole of your duties towards each other through life I 1 i abi this is re reson reason son why the lord has appointed a living priesthood on theearta the earth why lip he has hs sent bent down the holy ghost from heaven why il 41 enters the he hart artof of man and inspires inspire ti hip him with knowledge and lipfor colcor concerning his wn duties and thet the duties of others also that I 1 lie he may them week after week aud from one meeting to another in public nd in in private before large larg e and in in the family circle every principle pleana and duty that is necessary to he be known that his family his wives wives and his children dr enand and the church of god at large may be taut taught by the holy ghost the comforter that guides into all truth it lit isi that power that chat instructs men in regard to all their baties then let not tile the immigrants granta the saints bat I 1 have come into this territory in former years yeam as well as those v who ho have come here tile the present year be asleep upon this subject but awake from a deep sloe sleep ii YOU know whit what i tile the parable says on the subject of the king kingdom doA of god it ift coni comparing paring aitto it to ten virgins that took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom they did not stay abroad a among 0 i the then says jesus the kin kingdom g dom of haayen n be likened unto ten tell I 1 virgins not tile the kingdom lie he built up in his own day andi and in the days of his apostles who were with hit him lit an H the flesh but then baying reference to what was previously spoken kemin in the foregoing verses verles concerning his hip second coming coining in the clouds of heaven in power and great glory then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins wit who P took their lamps and went forth atom among tile the nations some I 1 took oil in and some did dd riot but let their lamps go out only
