as lie will hold himself in readiness to operate here keo go there and work for the lord travel abroad to the I 1 netious nations of the tiie earth or to travel among th tha mo mountains of israel that ir individual is 13 bound boli boll nato to become strong and mighty in the power of god und lya rid in lit the intelligence of eternity you b ethren ethien that are herein these valleys have a certain cerl lain tain you ought to appreciate alip namely t that hat of ot consecrating gyon your r property to the lord if you want to know the secret and principle upon which you may become becom 1 e rici it lie lle it in your means and in putting your property into in the hands lands of the th it aders laders of this church wien a man man lids hiis imich property properly lie he is very apt to gik fix upon it some have one thousand dollars worth of property proper tv some koine five thousand dollars and so some i emore e more aw aim I 1 fear that many are u ing their i mearis nean s in iii a way th atwill that prove a curse instead of a blessings and when the lord says give me tile your property we are not unanimously j eady ready to answer the call in this respect however wo we are beginning jo to learn and in gome iome some degree answering the are ara learn that it all belongs to the lord and arid dut out lie he ha has hus gleen given oven us a litle little power by which we have acquired some me knowledge of liis his will and arid his liis designs us take the tile min who has a large share of this worlds good and examine what kind of a map man lie lio ia ii btty try lis spirit androu will generally find blidt it is s atten mn one of the greatest trials thai thal can coma come upon hini hinl to be called upon to pai par t with any of liis ilis prep property if ir you please you may contrast such a p person with these boys hoys who have been address addressing gitig lyou you and arid you w ili ill find them ready aud on hand to do anything that inay tenay be required at their ands hands li those youths are more moie mole willing arid and pliable in in tile the handsol hand the servants of god than many dpn who have been bien in the cli cil church ich from tle tie beglau ang latterly however you have learned the tha principle principe pe to some extent and arid tiie the power of god has lias been manifested so that you yoa ure are now ready to gave a little of your means for the building up of the kingdom of god and arid by and bye I 1 presume you will progress 1110 like some others othal rs have aone done and be ready to put all upon the altar take this people at the present time consider w what hat they tiley posse possess ss then inquire liow ilov amny of or them have consecrated their proper tv and vou swill find that the amount consecrated is a al nere lere nothing g compared con cou pared with that which the people ac I 1 tell you brethren that although b this may seem a small smail matter yet if we cling to the property that we posses possesses sas the wicked do to theirs we shall never obtain that we weare are tr ing for we i e must learn to obey the word 9 af pf theford th the eLord lord why is jt it that wolo apdo not talk moie more mome more about uk consecration it is br brigham does not no care about it only that lie he the people to take a course to secure themselves ves yes against the powers of the evil one oile that he may not gain any control over them or their families if this people who live in thes these valleys of the tile mountains are willing to put lher their property lutzi into the hands of t the I 1 ie trustee in trust that it may be preserved for the benefit of tho the kingdom arld and will continue to live their us as they illey have hav done dond the past few months they arid and their properly property will become sanctified to the tho lord arld and thus we will show to all nations arid and people that we have hake learned learne d a principle that they know nothing of ali air and that they have nothing to do with show them that when we call can get a little property wo we 1 put tit t it where the tho lord can cam canuso use usg it ajust as lie he pleases thisina practice and a principle the tho world knows iio lio nothing thing of or but when wilen this people deed over their property they understand Jand whit what what they are about they know that tile tiie thays theyS will vill eventually be exalted to possess all that is desirable the land the th e houses lio iio uses the vineyards the cattle the gold goldo the silver sliver and all the tiie 1 iches liches of the tiie heavens arld and of tile the earth the tiia lord says all these thi things re mine and arid because of tiie tire willingness of my people all will be restored back to me and then I 1 will wilt put them jinn in possession of all the riches of eternity this tills is is the only principle upon which we can tan secure tb the e promised bless biess blessings logs ings then says one why is it not talked about more than it is if the people do not see it now and arid cannot act upon it with the light and arid h knowledge now ledge they have already received il it they canno see the principle by which they can ran be established it follows as a matter of course that they cannot be established in our fathers kingdom it is the design of the almighty to work into the hearts of the tile people leopla the he principles to operate upon in order to obtain an eternal exaltation and glory and if we do not see them now with the instruction already given unto us we shall have to learn them by experience more severe we llave have not tile the power to do anything without the assistance of tile the spirit of the lord but do we all know tha th atthe tIlie gospel we preach is true do we know as well as those little boys know who have been speaking to yon 7 they do act actually u know that this is the work of god but some of them do not really comprehend that thai they understand der stand as much truth as vs they do but the truths of the gospel of christ are in them and arid through them for they were born in the tire gospel and hence they are born latter day saints the root ofalie of the alie matter is in them and they tiley are aro preserved by the good liand land of th elord for lie he has his eye upon them and designs to use thein them in a future fatute day ahat aylia it of influence means beatis or knowledge they are ready to put to their fathers use I 1 let these boys go into a high council and by the he spirit that is in them then f they will ill lil give
