children of our god latter odys ibo table ot our god and loin to sius his praise S S JONES addressed the saints as follows Br ethern and sisters 1 feel thankful for this privilege of meeting with the saints in house to worship but many of our friends aha euton account of the funeral ser vices ot one of our si stera the daughter of brother aud sister meldrum I 1 feel the importance of aliis i to address you on the principled of our religion realizing that it is necessary for those instructing the dainis to be blessed the spirit of god andthil And this beine so soon after quarterly conference I 1 feel my weakness in addressing you and desire your faith and prayers and the spirit of god to enlighten me for I 1 realize the magnitude of this great calling to stand before the sainta and des the principles of truth every elder feels his hia weakness wea knass in carrying on this great work the lord lias greatly us by permitting us to live in this day and age both sacred and profane history tells us of all great nations that have flour dished and decked and that in abo latter days the lord would establish his kingdom thich the whole earth and A e should be thankful to think bearo to take part in this eielt work we have been much edified during the late conference instructions and should give implicit libed unto them we have bieard many comforting as su rances and had our energies renewed and made to feel humble and acknowledge our dependence upon god and each kotlier to attend such meetings fills our hearts with humility and teaches us our dependence upon each other for the eye say to the foot 1 I have no need ot thee ko man dare assert above another for god created all equal and we should acknowledge him or her that calling we cannot understand this glorious work without ascribing the glory to god my experience is that the nearer we approach the fountain head or to the men who responsibilities namely the head of the church the more we are imbued with the spirit of love benevolence and kindness I 1 thank god that these impressions ar made on my mind and aa a sane man I 1 say to all the world that there is veneration and love in their heartland heart sand that their intentions are not to entrap and blind man kindor the fidelity feitli and sobriety they possess not be found in them it is a tes to me that they are men of god one remark made by brother cannon impressed me much in relation to the ultimate result of this work some say that we must go into bondage but he promised us that if we are prayerful and willient dilli ent that we should not neither shall wo be trampled under foot for aa isiah says zion larise and shine and the glory of the lord shall be upon her we should be up and doin and we are bound to triumph it must be so in the natural conrao of n wo shaula keep our ayea heavenward and never tire in well doing for this latter day work is peace on earth and to men good will we should ho full of wisdom the doctrine and covenants teaches ns not to eat nor drink too much nor sleep too long the ultimatum of this work is success and is onward and upward and however dark the clouda it will never fail see how gloomy were clouds hanging over brother candon when lio was about to go to jail through his wisdom and trust in god they all blew over which to us is a good example there is a regular routine of duties to attend to as fast day ti thines prayer etc that we should not forget for to he good soldiers we must attention to all of these duties and be consistent the bible and book of mormon tell of the vengeance of god incurred by the unwise course isreal pursued and shut through animosity strife and thirst for blood alic anger of god camo upon them so in this day that god through joseph smith has revealed the duties of the saints it is not another gospel but the same as christ taught and through the medium of joseph smith we have new revelation A new move is going on way of a circular being issued from the presidency concerning tho establishment of a sugar plant all thines pertain to the building p of zion another necessity that of more school teachers of our faith I 1 heard a brother remark that the brigham young academy is a radiator ladi ator of learning as aliean ator it has shed a congenial conee nial warmth throughout alie stages of zion I 1 feel like taking my hat oft 0 o ailiese young men who have themselves and ara lice energetic teachers in our church BROTHER ISAAC BULLOCK said while listening to brother jones I 1 thought of a saying of jesus in lie book of mormon ahers he spoke of a lump of leavon being put in three measures of benl the latter day saints have this lieven the bible doctrine and covenants Coven aits and book of mormon will leaven the whole lump meaning the whole human family it commenced adam moses abraham and br it saw the areat work of the latter days aud abriel living in the flesh he was yet unborn all who received that leiven partook of the spirit of the gospel which extended not only to alie but to the dead but to complete this great pave a sign when he should como and alie caspel be preached to every creature and that every creatura crea turp both living and dead should be saved from now until the dispensation of alie time in lie days of noah only eight were paved peter how the remainder could be sayed by the of tho gospel or leaven joseph smith brought no new gospel bin the gospel of the S n of god iia used joseph smith as did he noah moses abraham and all men of god from the beginning that as isiah says the meek shall increase their joy in ahe lord may we all be blessed and rejoice in tha lord is my prayer the choir eang an anthem benediction by harvey H cluff |
