' When least degree, in any of their require, Josepn Smith received this higher1 pow- ments, to injure one individual on earth. er he did not throw away the first, but I will say to these few Latter-da- y Saints, ing. What for? Their own good.. Some people talk of how long they have served the Lord, and now they want to do something for themselves. The moment they begin to feel and act' like' this, they commence to serve the devil. There are two powers on earth, God and Satan,and we must serve one or the t other, God requires obedience to his. laws. Jf I do this I do nothing more than I do to the United States. We have enlisted to serve the King of Kings; He has laws, rules, regulations,' &c. Why should we not be as willing to pay taxes to Him as to the United States. MYe believe in obeying the laws of the land, we should also obey the laws of God.' People have found out that ,we believe in a plurality of wives. The people of this Government say we shall not have a plurality of wives. Why not say: "a plurality of women," and we shan't have any objection to it. Because this would strike at men in high places. ; Their idea is.'if you want women, illegally, and then thrust them ' into the street wheayou have done with them, we care nothiug about it; but if God has revealed anything about plurality of wives, to marry and provide for them, as ,lie did in the days of the Patriarchs, ' we dou't want any of it." Ifl have wives given to me of the Lord I do not break any constitutional law of the land.
