We wcro trying to assist Him,' and yet how far we came short, ourselves, of the mark. If we proved faithful we should receive all that had been promised, but if we turned away it would all be given to others. Not until Christ had finished his work, the last spirit numbered lo come to the earth had been born; when the gospel hud been preached and the ordinances for the dead had been admini.-terefor all back to the days of Adam; wheu the gospel hiid been declared to all the spirits in prison; when the last one had been officiated for that the celestial, terrestial, and telestial kingdoms might be organized; when the spirits tluating in this atmosphere were banished; when the earth was baptized by tire and redeemed, cleaused and. made holy, becoming a great Urim au I Thummim, and returned to the place from whence it fell, and should became one of the uelestial cluster and be presented to tho father; and the Sou sit down at His right hand; then, and not till then (would the Saints reNo person who ceive their inheritance. believed in the Bible believed that the wicked would possess, the earth.

Unless a man proved himself worthy of wives and children, sealed to him here, he would not possess them there. When women wautea a bill of divorce, tbey had better wait and see if it was right in the sight of God fir;t. It would be just as good to have a piece of blank paper as to have one wiih some writing upon it, and call it a divorce Those who; honored, their priesthood would, inherit nil that was sealed upon them, and it was only a higher power that could take1 a woman away trom a man who was fiithful aud honored the priesthood given lo him.

The were hut few in any age who had attempted to build up the kingdom of God. Those who did must make up their mind to walk in a strait and narrow path, and to live by faith.
