Show Tabernacle MuuUng. A large congregation iwacinblcd in tin; above placo of worship on Sunday last. E.der Joseph II. Parry wad tho first speaker, Ho had just returned from a mission to England which he had enjoyed and on which ho had been prospered. Ho knew the work was trim in which he was engaged , and heliuvrd that tho Savior would como in the last days with power aud great glory. The world was looking upon the saint, and trying to ascertain what they weru; and if the latter were faithful they would be honored and respected by all good men. Ho urged faithfulness among the young mom-burs mom-burs of the church. Rebellion had been often and promptly punished among tlm aucieut Israelites. Jesus bud taught the gnspel in simplicity, and tli id was also the ,caso with the elders of the church in latter days. God had sustained them in the past, and would continue to do so it they were faithful to bis laws aud commandments. com-mandments. He inculcated faith and obedience, Bhowing that the aucienls had suflered from their enemies when they ceased to be obedient to the prophets and servants l Ood. Ho had not lacked for any thing, nor for opportunities to preach the gospel during his mission, but the neople among whom he had labored seemed more or Icsb indifferent to religious matters. Elder Wilford WoodrufT then read the latter portion of the last chapter ot St. Mark's gospel, commencing at the 14th verse and said these instructions instruc-tions were given by the Savior to his discipies alter he had arieeu from the dead. There could be no greater mystery than the fact that the simple truths of the gospel as taught by the Savior, were sufficient to savo mankind man-kind and endow them with thrones, principalities and powers, if they obeyed it and remained faithful to the end. And yet, simple as it seems, no man b id been able for eighteen hundred j ears to proclaim it as Jesus and his apostlea did, until it was again revealed in tho latter days. The first principle of the gospel gos-pel was faith iu the Lord Jesus Christ, the second was repentance of sin, and the third was baptism for the, remission of sina, administered by one j having authority from God. An in dividual thus empowered could go forth and proclaim that the signs of the gospel and the manifestations of ihe Holy Ghost would follow obedience obedi-ence to his message, but an imposter would be placed in a very peculiar position who made Biich a proclamation proclama-tion to the world. The reason that theso gifts were placed in the church was to enable the saints to attain perfection, per-fection, and theyN bad been largely manifested in ihe last days. The Lord had commanded the elders to preach the gospel, and they would have been condemned unless they had fulfilled that requirement. The gospel bad to be preached in order to prepare for thei coming of the Son of Slan. j The Jews would not receive the gospel until the gentiles had proved themselves unworthy of it, then it would be taken to the Jews, and God would manifest bis power in their behalf, and they would receive the Savior aud believe on him. The daiuts knew that they bad embraced the work of the Lord, and he (the speaker) could testily that he knew of its truth. There would be no fail-' fail-' ure in the prophecies of. the ancient 'prophets, but all that they had predicted pre-dicted concerning the last days, and the final triumph of the kingdom of God would be completely fulfilled. Though the elders of the church might be young or weak or unlettered the power of God was with them, and they would be able to do the work Wfiigned them. He urged continued faithfulness on the part of the saints, and exhorted them to labor here for their future glory in the presence of God. |
