I know that there are transgressors who, if they knew themselves, and tli3 only condition npon which they can obtain forgivness, would beg of their brethren to shed their blood, that tho smoke thereof might ascend to God as an offering to appease tho wrath that is kindled againat them, and that tho law might have its course. 1 will say, further, 1 have had men come to mo and offer their lives to atone for their sins." There are sins that can be atoned for by an offering upon an altar, as in ancient days: and there are sins that the blood of a lamb, or a calf, or of turtle dove cannot remit,but they most bo atoms! for be tlie blood ofthe man;" 1 could refer you to plenty of instances w here men have lieen righteouiily slain in order to atone for their si us. I have seen scores and hundreds of people for whom there would have been a chance, (in the last resurrection there w 111 be,)if their live hail 1hs-i-i taken and their blood spilled ou tho grouud. I have known a great many men w ho have left this Church for whom there is no chance wha'ever for exaltation, but if their blood had been spilled It would have been better for them. The wicked ness and Ignorance of nations forbid this principle being in full force, but the time will come w hen the law of God will be In full force. This is loving our neighbor as ourselves; if he needs help, help him; if he wants salvation, and it is necessary to spill his blood on the earth in order that he innv tie saved, spill it.
