Show FROM THE DEA DEAD In tho Salt Lake City bar ber 8 81 1899 by byS S ELDER C w PENROSE 1 rAte Death the Spirit World the Not a Christ a of time the tor Or tho Now Year Testimony or of the tho Gospel I hal had no expectation ot of being called upon to speak on this occasion but having been requested I respond cheer cheerfully tuly fully The doctrine set let forth In the quota tons lions from the nok Book ot of Mormon Alra Altos 40 o arid 4 41 that have havo been made mado to b Brother Clawson Is very Interesting and important We know that we are aro aronow arenow now living In the leh and we knol know also tram from nn and the ox ex ot of othel others that we o have havo to todie todie die and lay OUr bodIes down The those contained In the Bible and In the hook Dook or of Mormon n as aswell wel well ns as those contained Jim In the rela tibne which hays hae come to us through time the Prophet ot of the tue nineteenth century set forth the doctrine that we shall not only lve five for Cor 1 a time upon earh earth and unil then hum delart depart but that the part art ot of our being the responsible b bIng be beIng Ing which dw dwells ls In the boly body wJ not be laid In time tomb but wi go to some someplace someplace place which I It has haR fitted Iselt Itself for tor by bythe bythe the acts performed In the bod body to tod d dwell 1 ther for tor a time the good the upright the Just time the rIghteous to dwell In happiness the unjust the Impure And the tho unrighteous to be In miser misery Then that the time Is to como come when al all shall como comae forth front time the grave tha that time tho spirit which hll has been separ separated from the tho Lady body and dwelt In the spirit world Ihal bo be reunited to the tho bod body that nothIng whIch perla pertains Ins to thIs mortal frame Le ho lost but but that al nil shall be restored eer every part to o I II its part e every cry limb anti and muscle and JoInt even the or of the head hend r re restored stored the boly body brought broucht up In Its II per r feet frame and amid the spirit united with ith Ii It and that hint then the being II in that comm can dlton shall stand to be judged fur tor the d deeds ds done In mortal mortality RESURRECTION A DILE DOC TuNE I say that this Is not only the doe doc ot of the hook ot of Monon Mormon and ot of the tho nook flook ot of Doctrine and Covenants but It II is time tho doctrine In th the New Testament yes es and also In the Old Testament I It Is the doctrine of ChrIst J It Is a part ot of the Gospel of oC Jelus Jesus ChrIst and WIl was made very er plain In former times by him and b by Hs His Apostles Wo We can read some me of their In the New Testament but not ni all ot of them by any means The New Testament contains some le thing things whIch were vere written b by the ancient Apostles and the tho Old Testament eon con loins some things which were written b by some ot of the who lived Le be fore foro J Jesus sus Christ Christ The Bible II is not n a perfect record In the sense that some people ImagIne It riot not contain al all the word ot of God delivered to time thu people even to the tho people on the east enst ern em continent for tor the book Itself Isel speaks ot of a great number ot of books that nr ore not nw now within the lids of the Bible I wi will not take tako UP time to enumerate thOrn but thIs can bl be very cry easily established Allusions made easl are In iii time the New Testament to e epistles male ot of the Apostles that ur are not nol contained In tho ho New Testament nut But such os as we 10 have In time the Old Testament and In the New Testament teach this doctrine the tho doctrine ot of le life and death ot of an Intermediate space between death and the resurrection anti of the coming forth of oC al the lons eons and daughters of men to stand God and to bl be JUdged for tor the deeds performed an while they were In mortality I If this Is true I It Is Important for Cor us to understand I it an and also to so 80 shape out our les lives that we shall not ten fear I to meet time Great JUdge that wo ve shall not fear to teet what Is called the tho of at death that we shall not be afraid to stand before the Judgment seat and give nn an ot of our acts anti the tho manner In which wo we have hao spent al our time while we have dwelt on earth When we come to reflect uPon our own lie be In ing I It seems to me that every gent person wil will come to the Intel Ilon that there is 18 something about him or her more than the bo body We know that our bOI bodies s are framed out of oC the elements that thi this earth and nd the th air and the wlter water The bodies can be dissolved ock back Into the bOles elements out ot of which the they came Tey They ha hare 0 been or organized anle according to laws lawn set b by our Eternal Father which are nat ral At All HIl Ills laws are natural or Dy By the tho lasts ot of generation wo we have ben been brought into Inlo the world and the bodies bies that thal wo we have ore are framed out ot of the elements that pertain to thIs lower world We know that they are or acer after what might bo be called a temporal law that is 18 they tha do nt not continue They Int last for tor a and th rt they go back apparently Into dust The Scriptures In say that dust duet we lust are aro and unto dUlt dust we shall return TIE TIlE SPIRIT IS TIlE THE LIFE No Now we cnn can lee see t a good Ical deal about timis but there are a it number of things that we do not lec see Wu We do not corn com that which gives this 10 body life We Va cannot ero I it We cannot detect Ue It by any chemical process We con can connot cannot not It out through the Instruments that Ar are used by Briens surgeons The They can take the human body and dissect Iti it they CAn tel tell how part Is relate related to tout ut and time tho uses anti functions ut of all the different portions ot of the human ni tel temi but they cannot find out the vital force torce The They have no means ot of deter determInIng determining lal mInIng what It Is i where It comes from and where here It les goes to when what is IR caled called death cores comes on the body The They cannot explain how It la is that one day n a human beIng may stand tul full or of vitality eVer every put part clinging to every other part with 1 a wonderful tenacity and time the next day ay la is manifest n a tendency to dissolution and eer every part II is trying to get away from every other hart and we have to put the Lod body down In the grund ground because ot of the corruption that enu ensues Hut Iut thero Is something from clod which perhaps we tony mAY say y II is ot of more value tha than the particles Ito to which I It gives Ifo 1 a vital lal and where It come comes roam what I it Is and where here It Joes goes to you cannot find out by philosophy nor by science Not only I is there therea a tore force thA hint Ihu gives via vitality I to tIme the bo body and that is with u us today and tomoro tomorrow Is gone Lne but In our investigations of oC our ourselves impart from revelation we enn that there Is In this bod body an n responsible being whIch Is superior to the body that wills that thinks that receives information that imparts information and that retains It ts identity al nil the time while the body Is changing While the Infant grows up tt t and the man goes 8 down to decrepitude and deca decay that living b bIl be lpg Il remains the same I It ma may not reo re t lain tn In iii memory al all things that have happened dunin lifetime because e ot of the weakness by body and the decay that comes ion n It hut but the old mami just down to the grave groe knows mal that to 1 Is no same person he wa was In and he can g go back to his hlA url early childhood ad and perhaps remember wih with more t a great many things that that In iii his bo boyhood hood than what happened In hl his later Inter years and he and In anti grows In understanding while his body Is get getting tn weaker and Iler SO WI we eln can come to the apart from revelation tha that there is 13 a spirit In man and as time tho old Prophet said the of til time Almighty them understanding In the chapter chapter ot of verse en wo we read concerning the die ih solution that come ra In what we cal call comel Then hen the dut dust return to th time earth 1 as I it wn was and the spirit return unto hod who ho gave I it There Is n a gent Mollo deal in that little verse erse for us tie to about I It Is is set sat more In this timis book ok that ue 0 have heard leard from this afternoon ThIs IntellIgent being that dwells In the Lod body that obtains ln intelligence by experience here herc that stort stores up the impressions thAt are made upon I it through th the medium ot of the b body tl is anti distinct In one lense sense from Crom the body It canoe camo from Oo Got and wh when n the tho b bd body deas decays I Ind and goes back to the elements out ot of whIch It came the spirit retains lI Its identity and goes back tt to God who gle gave f It SONS AND OF GOD Wo We have learned from the revelations on that 00 God his has glen given t to UI Us In thele these lat last we ire corroboration ot of th then m In the tho Bible and In the Dok Book ot of time the spiritual part ot of man manthe manthe the Intelligent Jart art ot of each humn be beIn In trig Is a son n or a daughter ot of the Great Orent Eternal Father and that le lie made this globe on whIch we dwell for time the very purpose I ht hat we should come here and obtain experience that we could not glin gain otherwIse that we were wih with Him before time world was made that Jesus Christ who dIed on Calvary who Is the tho ot of the world WD was the first begotten In spirit and the only begotten according to the leeh that He wn was the begInnIng ot of the creaton creation ot of said In the New Testament th the first firstborn bor born ot of every creature an and that we weare are verily al and truly 11 Ills brothers nd and sisters Q as le He when 10 lie was ns on the ea earth h Ho He caled called Hs His d Hs His brethren and He meant what w hat le He said He told them when they praye p rayed not t to go In the roundabout way w ay that the tho heathen Ild did In their ad adIre Ire d es to Del Deity loading hIm with al all k kb ot of and expletives but b ut said 11 He

and Is Ills Apostles trIe t ried to make clear t to the people they hey t dwelt In the tho we are the he t sons and daughters o of time the Great Oo G od that the spiritual pert part ot of our na nature ture t une dId not come out ot of this earth eurth lut b ut came camo from above that when we die diee we w e go back tf to the GO God who gave us le l ife and then we Ire are place placed where wo we belong elong b I It we have hae fitted ourselves to lel d welt wih with the goo good the uprIght and the he t pure In heart we shall mIngle lh them hem t I if not we wi wilt go to our own

people who whore a re ot of I a just and pure nature delight to t o mingle together Me Are the there not e SubstanceS which hare 1 a al a l for each ench other So It Is In s thin timings When We

The general Ilea Idea has been that we e ither go up to heaven or down tu to hel hell a nd that our tite fate Is fixed nt at d death nth I It Its 18 I s the common fe idea In Christendom that wo re I go to dwell wih with God or we go godown godown down to hel hell where We welter In fre freand tire and a brImstone forever and over oer But Dut the New Testament dos does not teach tench that It I t
