The railing Away or The Worlds Loss of The Christian Religion and Church Address Delivered Over Radio Station KSL Sunday Evening June 9, 1929, By Elder B. H. Roberts of the First Council of Seventy, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah. REFLECTION ON THE RESTORATION And now a closer word in relation to these things and more especially in relation to that opening message with which the' New Dispensation begins the first vision and revelation to Joseph Smith. It Is a harsh Christendom message; The Churches of are all wrong ; they are not acknowledged of God as his church ; they teach for doctrine the commandments of men ; they have forms of godliness but deny the power thereof. That is a tremendous arraignment. I scarcely marvel that some men shrink from declaring it, or having others declare it. A brother said to me recently, referring to this announcement, I wish the Lord had been a bit more diplomatic. Another, and one high in authority in the church of God, upon my reminding him that it was God who had passed this judgment on the status of the Christian world, answered: Yes, and I would not repeat that declaration before any intelligent and educated body of men, anywhere in this country! What, I exclaimed! Then I remembered "Jobrs words : Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake the hair of my flesh stood up; there was silence, and I heard a voice saying: Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure (in this case wiser) than his maker? Then I accepted the rest of Job's daring assertion: Behold, he (God) put no trust in his servants, and his angels he charged with folly (Job 4). 'For my own part, I thank' God for his , . . message. I am grateful that this cause of the New Dispensation into which I have put niv heart, and in which I have spent : all the years of my young manhood, the years of middle life and now the years where the shadows are growing longer, giving me notice that the end is drawing near 1 am proud to know that this cause which Dove, is not founded upon some mere differences of the schoolmen: such as a disagreement as to the form of church government, episcopal or presbyterian; or 'about the form or purpose of baptism; or upon which day of the week men shall worship. No: not upon these is it founded, but upon a great world need. There is a stern, hard necessity for it. The Christian religion and church is not among men not on the earth ; and the only way in which it can be returned to the earth is by making the world acquainted with its plight. By proclaiming the apostate condition of humanity, its alienation from Cod. That is the first step, and the necessary one towards a remedy of the situation. But One can take that step, pronounce that judgment ; and that is God the son of God. And take note here, my audience, that it was God who did that. Who made that revelation and announced that judgment on the world? It was not Joseph Smith. Confessedly he was incompetent to decide even for himself which of the sects was the true one. He sought God for knowledge, and wisdom founded upon it. And he found it; and what a volume of it, for himself and for the world As for this man I speak of who would shrink from repeating the words of God before any body of intelligent or educated men, he neither remembers the rights nor the majesty of God in this. Is it so that God n shall not tell his their plight of alienation through apostasy, and the status of their creeds and their own stand- ! world-childre- BY DR.

How commanding! But its strength is of God, not of man. How the declaration of Joseph Smith is jsustained by the facts and prophecies of scripture, by the testimony of history, by the force of reason ! The young prophet knew nothing of the corroborating testimonies from all these sources when he made his declaration to that the churches were all wrong. God gave him the truth as to the worlds religious status in a few words; and now behold, how wonderfully the message is proven true by scripture, reason, and history! I know of no one single thing, that makes for proof of a divine spirit of inspiration in, and the fact of revelation from God to Stir Prophet of the New Dispensation more than this proclamation of the Christian worlds apostatic The Romish church stands at the corner of a triangle figure saying, we are the true church of the Christ, for we are successors of the apostles and to their authority, tp their orders, and to their mission. The Reformed churches, at another corner of the triangle, say: The church succeeding - the . apostolic church, became unspeakably corrupted under the Romish regime, but we reformed it; plucked it out of its fallen state, and by that means restored primitive Christianity. And now the church of the Christ, the church of the' New Dispensation, standing on the remaining corner of the triangle, in the authority of God can say to the "church of Rome: Your church is not the rightful successor of the church of the apostles and of the Christ. You have neither their authority, their orders, or their the position of the Church of Jesus Latter-da- y Saints in the religious Christ of mis- - sion. To the Reformed churches, she cai say, and does say: You have not reformed the church of Rome; no, nor improved upon it in doctrine, in the sense of bringing back to the world primitive Christianity and a' divine authority. Standing at the place God has given to her, formed by these positions, the church of the New Dispensation pro- - the-wor- ' , " ld status, because of the proof that may be assembled to demonstrate the fact of it. How apparent it is now that the churches of Christendom are all wrong: that they teach for doctrine the conceptions and commandments of men! Or as Isaiah long ago prophesied men would do: They have trans- gressed the laws, changed the ordinances, and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are left desolate (Isaiah 24). And therefore the world stood in need of the restoration of the gospel here set forth.
