apostles apo siles ad arid prophets and later by the ilie bisci disciples lei this being 0 true ita it is most natural to suppose that there was some soi ie remnant of the original and tra tru church of G god od upon the earth atlen yen in the time when the dekeip p were ivere being tortured ph A and eve in this time cjohn john a mr IMF ownne whan the abe alts should T 60 IR lv 1 from the nal nations loris of tie earth because of tho the wickedness of man that darkness should envelop all the ideas of man and that he be should grope about for fay the truth and should not bo be able to find it until the time came when god in his 1 infinite mercy should send an angel to again restore the truth to man ah aej to all nations hind kindreds reds and peoples Ili history stolL shows hois us that th the e great powers ui me jie true gospel and all its ordinances were taken from the earth and humanity was left to struggle in darkness for many ages but the saints sa say y that durin during 0 all this time there was some truth left on the earth which had not wholly I 1 been lost sight eight of and this truth was clung to by many great and 9 good men who devellin re velling in what they already 13 had ad still 0 groped for wore more hut but sometimes in their dis Is PO pair jr these good men declared t that at the true gospel of god had been taken from the earth and that man had been left to himself lo roger loer 0 er williams wyckliffe an and d tile the man many other reformers who are arc well remembered because of the immortal works of which they laid the foundations which have been bt en reared up out of the darkness of the time when the gospel was taken from the earth searched the scriptures thoroughly for light 0 and in tho the end were invariably forced to the confession that the human race was laboring in dense darkness by the rays of divine revelation and by the love and presence of god but all these men had more of the truth than was known by of the world who dwelt in their time and we know that they were special agents of the rather father almighty sent to prepare the nations by giving them some little light for the second coming of the everlasting and changeless gospel which should be preached to all men and should lift thera them up lip to the great salvation that awaits the just oin in the hereafter martin luther was simply an instrument in in the hands bands of god to lift up the minds of liis his fellow men and to lead them onward and upward to tile the purer light of day so soon to come in the connection with the prophecy of Toha n in the preface to the book of IN mormon will be found an extract which tells that the things that were predicted in tho the first have lave come to pass in this g glorious clorious i day and in this extract wi rill 11 be I 1 found the fulfilment fulfillment of the prophecy of john the truth had been taken away from humanity because of the sins of the world and luring during the dark ages the t h a children of men had been doomed to grope in darkness until the time when the angel should stir the hearts ormen of men by proclaiming in clarion tones that the truth had been arrain again 0 restored to mankind and when men in the pursuance persua nce of their intuitions should iise simultaneously and send up a shout abbout that should ring and reverberate over the whole surface of the earth and the echoes of which should be a heard beard in the deepest recesses of hell saying god is king kin 0 F 71 li it is very strange that we can look back today to day and we will find that the circumstances of the coming caming of the truth upon the earth havo havis been griea nearly aly tho the same for each cuch time tile the world and the people upon it have been behind the work of god and have not been ab able I 1 e to rightly comprehend it it was waa t thus bus in the days of moses 11 oses it was thus in the lays days when the jewish people rose up in their rage and slew the glorious man who when dying raised his eyes unto heaven and in a tender and compassionate voice made the appeal father forgive them hem they kuon know 1 not w what h a t they do and it N vasso in the days of 0 tile the CS when they tried to on the minds of men if mcf gUis atis to so in in our day i wan andio And so itis hardly str strange that ri liaa Aa 1 lInot believe the 0 voice 1 W ir I 1 its 2 y iha testimonies fes ri that have been ivea fr ift it would be very strange let fit could be said that god had bad again spoken and man had bad obeyed man ian had never obeyed the call of I 1 ad ii i was but reasonable to t h at they would not do so in kia kiino and in this istance instance i I 1 U ts are now surrounded by many things which tend to try their th e ir faith in grod god and in the work they are accomplishing with the help of god and these things will continue to surround them for a long time some will succumb amb to the temptations and will fall without the pale of the work and will be lost sight of i in a tile the work but to others these temptations will bo be cist cast aside and will be made tile the means of disciplining the saints B BO they can at last attain to tile en end d which shall be victor y for the saints saint and victory for god for then the nations ii will ill rally around zion and humanity will feel that there is something to live for APOSTLE liebelt J spoke only for a few minutes devoting his time to sl speaking I 1 of the evidences of the truth ot of the gospel of the saints |
