SERMONS. Reported lyMrs. Ellen Jakeman. Extended synopsis of a Discourse delivered at Ephraim, Feb. 15th, 1891 n " are i.i a ji'iorto even a:t.,u,pt..i to judge with propt iety. 'ihe Prophet Joseph tried the faith j of the brethren connected with him during the early days of the church, j There were those who also found a great deal of fault with llrighaia j Voting. In both these cases subse- - j quent events justified the Prophet j and his great successor, end proved that those who had taken it upon themselves tojuige them, had mis-judged thetn. They were not in the same position as their leaders, were not in possession of the same know-ledge,di- d not understand the circum-stances by which theywwc surroun-ded, and were, therefore, incapable of rendering a just judgment, or of forming correct conclusions. It is very easy to find fault. I believe if there were holy angels dwcll'ntr ainonir us. and we were to 1 uiyseil would almost as soon find ' fai.lt with the au'4L'i Moroni, or the pro-- p'nets and apostle of ancie.it days, as wi 1) my brethren. In my sight the Pro-- I phet Joseph was peifection. Without i.a.'iii.; h.r.i pointed out to me I knew liiin the first time I evr saw nun, al-- I ih- ui;h nii: i juuded by a number of men. Duri'nx the ent'ie time that 1 knew him he seemed angelic m ev rv woid and deed, lnjeed to me lie was 11101 e l,ke an aiimel ( t God tliaa a Lvinj; man. Many people f.ULd with Hicham Young, but I never did. For the last tvvt Ive years el his file I was as intimate wiih him as anv livii man and I saw no fault, oolv virtues, greatness ol soul, bredth and depth of intellect, richness ol spirit.. 1 hese were ti aes when our iu-l-courses as of that private nature hn t veu treat men am supposed to unbend and uubos.im themselves, and I nevei anyt'.iing unw'.nhy ol l.is mis( sioii, or bis ;ic.i;ness. 1 can sav of him as .f J eili, l g but words ol ad nihnu.i. tor the ?pii't of the m.n. I did 11 t iK k ! : uu.lis; 1 ;is 1:1 t deiinng to ste im. and 1 h re testify with-out that injituet man ever lived. When God honors men shall I not holier LtKin? Has He not honored view then as we do our brethren and sisters, using only oar poor human judgment and knowledge, we would find much that looked amiss in their conduct. It is of the utmost impor-tance that in an official capacity, and in our private lives we use this spirit of discernment with great discretion and much charity. Who can tell the lasting wronp; that may be done to a man or a woman, by repeating something detrimental to them when the whole situation and all the rea-sons, are not in our possession, or the motives that prompted the act. The Latter-da- y Saints should not for-get tna. what they measure out to others w II be measured out to them aaiu; that as you jud.;e others, so shall you be judged. That it the consmrctons ai d motives vouattribute to otiieis are good you are promised charitable treatment in return. Tins leilecti 111 has always been a great cornfoit torn-;- . The Pio-p'ne- t Isaiah said that J.sus would not judije us "after tiie sight of his eyes, u iliiei reprove afttr the heuring of his to ihe People of San Pete County in Conference assembled, by PKKS. ClIORCE (J. CANNOK. The presenting of the authorities for the approval of the people, which has just been clone in your presence, although they are almost without ex ception unarniously sustained, is not a mere form. It is not clone in order to conform to a custom, or an established rule which has no special signifficance. The fact that it is done at every tpiarterly conference, should not lessen the importance of the presen-tation. It is not only a privilege extended to us to approve or disap-prove of those placed over us to guide ns spiritually, but it is a grave duty to weigh the meaning of the act when we lift our hands to sus-tain these men. It should be the feelings of our hearts which we ex-press, and not the compliance to an empty form. In doing this you have entered into a solemn covenant with God to sustain them in the po- - eveiy maa wiio uoius oiuce in ins chuiui and kingdom from the deacon t!) the P'reiiden.? Tben is it not our duty to sustain them by fakh and pray-ers; by Sood words and good work'; bv a hearty to eveiv call made up on us, and a la llitul fulfillment of every dinj? Those who are clusen ol God to pronounce jixb, nient in an ollical capa- - cais. II w different it is with us! vVehear, a id we pronounce judgement; we see, aad we come to certain conclusions, hen it is not possible with the aid of both ens a d eves to be thoroughly ac-quainted with motives. Here is a case that will illt.strate this principal, that has come to my knowledge. One of tiie sition in which He has placed them, with faith, prayers and good works; and it is-a-ll necessary. We should be careful, exceedingly careful, not to speak evil of the Lord's annoint- - Cty .staii'l to us in His stead, ai.u 11 is required ol ns t. at we treat Wem with due letpect, honor them with our heaits and hps, and gwu them our faith for the fulfillment ol the.r dmies as God desires. It is almost impossible for a man to fail when the faith and prayeis of the saints are honestly and earnes'Jv offered in His behalf; thea if we withdraw this strength from the man we have covenauied be-lor- e God and the Cong egation of the Saints to sustain, how tar are we respon-sible for his mistakes? What a happy, and what a powerf ul people we could be il we could once learn this important lesson. Husbands, don't trv to find ihelaults and imperfec-tions of your wives, but seek to see oulv their vntues and those trials that ate commendable. It is not a good plan to continually thrust the weaknesses of a peison Leloie their eyes. The plan per-sue- d by some parents toward llieil cnil-dre- u is productuie of mttcli evil. It would, in most cases, be oetter to single out their virtues and commend theni. This would incite to renewed exertion in this direction, ahile they learn to look upou sin with abhoi ranee. Childieu who never said a cross word to each other would be near to perfection. How tei- - twelve apostles wnile traveling was at-tacked wilh a severe sickness of the bowels. The symptoms we. e very dis-tressing and brandy was perscribed for him and he was finally persuaded to take some, with beneficial results. He is a man who does not drink bquor, but as he was traveling, he met a man who stopped and talked to htm. After this man had passed on, this Aoostle was really frightened least this brother should srne'l the luines of tne bra.idy on his breath, and get the idea that he was a diinking man. Suppose he had detect-ed this litandy smell, how was he to know it had been taken lor sickness? Another circumstance 1 remember is cue where calling upon another prominent man one morning, I found him suffering with a violent iieadache, but he was not willing to appear to vio-late the Word of Wisdom, although sat-isfied that a cup of coflee would tel.eve the pain. I besought him to lake it.and he finally did so. Suppose some one had come 111 while he was drinking it. In all probability they would have gone away and said they had seen this broth-er drinking coflee; giving the idea thai he was an Habitual drinker oi' it, when the truth was that he very reluctantly j 1. r .. ed. We, as a people, will have to learn that in order to be acceptable to Him we will have to keep these pledges with our whole hearts, not reluctantly. It is a duty to exercise faith in their behalf honestly before the Lord. Most of the Latter day Saints have entered into holy places, and there made such pledges, and if these promises were literally kept we would be an almost perfect people. There are many who violate this covenant without reflection. They allow their tongues too much free-dom, and before they are aware of it have broken sacred covenants, made before God, and their brethren. This is a doctrine as old as the Church itself, and it is a recognized fact that one of the greatest eviden--1 ces of a leaning toward apostacy and a loss of the Holy Spirit.is this find ing fault", speaking evil, or making disparaging remarks about those placed in- - authority. It is an evidence that the spirit of God nble it is that husbands and wives suouiu quarrel belore their childieu; it is in-deed a .shameful spectacle. A nun should not take his business caies and perplexities home with him, but should let it all slip off at,d leave them at the threshold, go to his wife and fam ly m a spit it ot peace, that they may be glad to see him. Not weighed down witn tlieiares of business, irritable, cros?, so that when his back is turned they all oreathe a sigh of relief. I am told that some men are almost savage anil that lliey sometimes justify themselves for these dreadful tempeis, because of the cau s they ate cal e I 111)011 to siioiitdei, as iht uupoitel of the family, but there is 110 question but the wife is equally burdened. Men have much to trc tnenl.an I w uicii also, and the remembetaiice of this should maiitt 11 ab uico.oiue. How easy it is to come to wrong con-clusions, when we have only the defec live evidence of our senses to guide us. We are not to be judged hereafter by the evidence of ear or eye, and I am thankful for it The Lord is capable of judging us in righteousness, mercy and equity. He will be able to know every motive, every circumstance, every weak-ness of our human nal uits, the extent and potency of all influences within and without. We misjudge each other as conmiuni ties, and as individuals. Good Latter-da- y Saints wrong each other in tins re-gard, even those who have been educa-ted to a veiy high standard ol light. Harsh judgement one against another is not ol the Lord. He requiies us to have has withdrawn, when an individual evinces this tendency. It is dan-gerous to faith, to murmur and find fault with those in official position. By a moment's reflection we know that apostates always give way to a great deal of this.and it is a sure of apostacy. - As has been remarked it is a great blessing to be able to know what manner of spirit we are of, or whether the feeling which prompts certain ideas and urges to certain courses of action, is good or evil; and the Latter-da- y Saints cannot be too careful how they speak evil of each other, and those whom the Lord has placed over them. "Well," one will say, "are we then to shut our eyes to the defects of our neigh-bors? Are we prohibted from tell-ing a brother or a bishop wherein he has dqrie wrong, and by our silence acquiesce in it?" No! we are per-mitted to see these things, and in a spirit of mercy and charity.to speak of them. The spirit of discernment was ghentothe Latter-da- Saints with the gospel; it is, in fact,one of the gifts of the gospel given for our protection, that we might know what manner of spirit those are in possession of, with whom we come in contact. We wish to avoid using this precious gift in a wrong wav, therefore, this examining agency must not be exercised altogether in finding the blemishes and weakness-es of our sisters and brothers. Many things which look wrong, and which we might pronounce against, would be very different in our eyes, could we know all the surrounding circumstances and the reasons there for. What we might denounce as wicked or unwise when we have only seen the result, might be the best that could be done, under the circum stances. No person is in a position to ren-der accurate and equitable judg-ment unless he can occupy the same position as the one judged; it is the only way that a correct estimate can be gained of the reasons which he had for taking such a course. This is true in all matters which we are accustomed to call matters of policy and the management of the Stake. We must first understand all the mo-tives that incite to a decision before charity. When we read what charity is, we find that it is slow to angel, not pulled up with pride and in short, that if we had charny one toward another we would put the best construe; tion upon suspicions actions, and not the worst, Since il is impossible for a man to tell the motives ol the human heal t, of his own knowledge, it is to be greatly desir d that every Latter-da- y Saint should avail himself of the privi-lege of enjoying the gift of the discien-men- t of spirits. Those who are called to preside and especially Presidents of Stakes, Bishops, HihCouncillors and those before whom many ariaiis came lot adjustment should possess this i;ili. Without it they can not pronounce good judgment It is needed before oufchurcli tribunals .where men nuke plain statements, that is not befo-g- e t by cunning men as sometimes is the ease in the cotuts of the land. There is no attempt to cleat the uuilt, to and make false appearances; yet after-th-most seaiching inquiry there are many things which do not appear, and unless these meu do have the Spirit of Gjd to quicken their understanding, to enable tnem to descerti that which is hidden or obscure, it will be impossible for them to render a just judgment. No pretense cau deceive ihose upon whome this spii it is poured out liberally. Tins blessing of discernneiit, however, may like every other good gilt, be used wrongfully. We may grow to criticize loo much, through the great clearness with which we see. Eveiv person in possession of this gift should remember that it is not their privilege to speak ngaigst tho.e in authority or even their brethern and sisters. The pro-phet oseph admonished the saints on one occasion, that with all their tlotind-- i rii gs, and surt comings, never to per-nn- i themselves to break solemn coven-ants, and beiiay their bretheien; he ex-horted them not to prove tiaitrs and ar ray themselves against these appointed by God to carry on His work and thus ar lay themselves against the Son of G.id. When Jesus spoke so forcibly of the dan gtr of cfiending these little ones, it also serves as a warning to us, that "the least of those 111 the kingdom of God" are under the care of that eye that never make each one willing 10 bear their share and r. t d.s ie to destroy the har-mony of home. Theie are men who really dread to go home because of the frequency lu'soim-lliin- veiy like curtain leciures.. This is not right. A woman should remember that almost all the happiness of her hiisb.ind's lie rest in the spir;t which sue d sseminales through the home. Ar.d the husband should never be blind ;o her efi rts to make him happy, nor tail in appreciation. Women have m idi to make liiem irrit-able and iirrvou ., and the husband-shoul- d meet tiieir confidences in this re-gard, in a spirit of love and sympathy. Moth should look upon their children as direct gifts from God, which they are, and set that example ol forbearing Kind-ness before them, that will nourish love in their hearts causing them in after years to look back to their childhood's home, as a place little short of heaven; to look forward to a reunion, and a reorganiza-tion of that home in eternity Will this not be tne case wheie all the members of a family love each othei? If there could be anything that I desired next to my own salvation and the prosperity of the work of God, it was that my children should all love one an-other. God has blessed me very much in this respect, I believe they have all carried that spirit of unity and good feel-ing with them. This should extend to our kindred, friends and brethern and sisters in the gospel; and finally all would become as one family. As a rnle the Latter-da- Saints are a good tempeied people, and it is so strange that we do so many thing to wound and lacerate eavh others feelings When this weakness assails us, we should go before the Loid in some secret place and ask Him to let his holy spirit rest upon us. I don't know what w e woul J do without this God to go to. It is the assistance be gives us that enables us to bear our burdens; it is this spirit that lifts our loads, removes our perplexities, sooths our anxieties, and gives us the peace, and repose we seek for. Theie are some who are naturally of a brooding, gloomy and despondent spirit, but this is not cl God. and should never be encoutaged. I will give you a rula whereby you may know if the spirit t J County .
