SECOND MEETING Brethern and s sters while the speaker who has just addres-se- von wassoeaking I prayed the Lord to direct niv nirud 111 the channel ol those things which would be the most benitkial toyuu; and that it would be possil.le f r me to give utter-ance to the same, to yc'r undeistaudinjj and edification. One word is enough when the mind of man is tilled with the holy spirit, to preach a whole sermon, a sermon that would take hours of mortal speech to communicate. Several of these flashed through my niiml dur-ing the h iur we have been met together here.hut I have summed them all togeth-er in one quotation1 "The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy." Look for example, to the woik done by the grtat reformeis, Martin Luthtr, and others; ho small it is in compari-son with one who coinis " Thus sayith (lit Lord." They daied not say that word.althougl) laboring in the ratiseot viitue.hutigeriug and tliirsting lor rigiiteousuesi. willing to opp isj men Lves and all their earthly hopes against the continuation of those wicked practices that religion had been rolling in lor centuries. We acknowle-dge them, and their work, but as llie morning st, ir announces the coming ol the sun so did they and their works but herald a new day and a greater woik. Without the spirit of G 'd it would have been i . possible for the prophet Joseph Smith have preformed the work which was required of him. d of the Load's vineyard was all prepared belore he came. It required a generation of people who were well ac-quainted with the holy scriptures, and when the hour had Come and God spoke behold these reformers, hd made it p ssil:e for all men to become acquaint-ed with the H.ble, and as it were, God's footsteps were through ihe eaith, pre-paring the way for salvation of the bu-rn, 11 race. Prom the days when God s priesthood died from off the face of the earth until the d spensatiou of the fullness of times. He has never been silent to those who na l ears to hear, or impassible to those who had eves to behold the prrlecliuii ol His handiwork. One dav speaks it toanothei; one niht to another. Its ellulgeiice rests upon the f ice ol all above the ground throughout the length of the earth, and the sea proclaims His Gloiy B it it requires the testimony of Jesus Christ to make it plain to be nble to read it clcaily and d liuately, and not in figurative language like those w ho de-pend upon the knowledge poor wayfar-ing, blind, man can give Yes," says the Christians, Methodists Presbyteiians, Baptists, Cailinlics (what-ever name they miy wear,) "Yes we have the testimony oljesus Chr.st." Oh.you have! then if you have that most precious testimony, where is the ipint of prophecy that is the proof iJ 11? There is a testimony of Christ since Adam and it is a lasting and eternal 0 ie "there never hasben a prophet the great Messiah, We may not iiave the record of the time and place, or w hat particular persons they spoke it to, but they all had this testimony or they would not have been prophets. The great law maker ol ancient Israel wished all might have this testui) mvof Jesus Clinst Great is this pnvelege extended to the Lattet-- d y Saints, and it is not only a ptivalege but it is also a sacred duly to obtain this testimony, With that in our possession tnere will be 110 need of piling up arguments, of bringing up point after point; or of furnishing leasons to piove mat Joseph Smith was a t, that the B ok ofMormon U divine or that Apostles, Piesidents, priests, teachers and deacons do hold the priest-hood by divine authority, iou will have no need to quote ve se upon verse, and chapter after chapter that testifit s r ,ind beats witness ol the truth of these things. A id whether you are able to argue or not, whether you are rich or poor, learn-ed T unlearned, yon have the testimony, undeniable testimony of its truth Patlev P. Pratt came into meeting once when the Prophet loseph Smith was speaking Joseph called h m to Ihe siand and asked him to sneak. He opened the Bible and began to quote from it to prove the great Latter-da-woik, and 'be authenticity of the Book ofMormon. So mauv quotations were found and so many plain and pointed savings referred directly to it, and they weie delivered wiih a force that aston- - i hed the audience. When he had fin-ish ; I J isvph arose and thanked him, saving that ue had not known bcfoic t at t ie l:h!e contained so many ni.uk-e-all isions ana declarations with re-gard t i them. Father and Son had testified to him wIk-i- i lis d d not kii"W one single verse the liihle braring unon it; but he ah- - 1 ueiy knew by that testimony given to him, and need :d no aiguments. Bv tiis testimony every soul may be gra ifieJ, and every doubt swept away. Ifticiebeany in this audience who ii.ivniot had that testimony, let me be-seech y. u.go to the Father and bending on niiniblc knee, presenting an innocent h art you will be he ltd accept til . II you have not i jured your lellow beings, or d.alt in ind cjnt or unclean thing, plead for that spirit of love and peao ; and if your works have not been goon repent, and cov.mint in your Soul to do those things no m re, alc the Holy Spirit to forgive you, and from this lime forth live a Oetter and a holier life. I promise you that the testimony shall b gven to you in the measuie of your earnestness I have been an infidel.have doubted the very existence of the living God. When I heard the gospel I wrestled with my-self and come out at midnight that 1101 e rnight know that I had gone down itno the water? ol bapt, sin to mine myself 10 the despised Moimons. 1 lifted mv hand before high heaver, and pledged to God my life in return for that testimony ol Jesus Christ, if he would give it to me. 1 received that testimony and it has s nee that time bern my star my comfort; 1 do not need anyone to argue with me, 01 prove the reisonab'ene-- s of the messages God may send to this people, for theie is something that tells me. Like Moses ol old would to God you had this testimony t : be with you always. ' ' In the name of Jesjs.Amen. Our Resources!
