We believe, further, that the gospel must be taught to every kindred and tongue. Those who say it is a good doctrine, but do not join the church, shall come into the fold later, when their surrounding sur-rounding circumstances are different. So we sec that all work is productive of good.

It is a perishing nation, na-tion, but their joy, when no fonoer they can teach their peonle on earth will be in preaching to their ancestors the everlasting doctrines.
