br lorenzo You young ig what can be better it is is truth and truth is light 0 and find light Is life inasmuch ch as we receive tn the truth we receive light orid and if we receive light we receive life if tim principle is in us anti and it abounds that is in me the practice of goud good works it will be in us as a well of water aprin sprin springing ging up into ei everlasting er lasting life 11 why by 7 because that hat little light that little liette life t tha ha t dwells in us has got to run back into tile the fountain of I 1 lre ire just the same as a stream of water runs into its fountain the sea it if these principle principles 3 dwell in us and abound they go back into the form fountain tain of everlasting lives and lead us into the reservoir of all duth why i is it the reservoir leser leber voir of a air ir truth because all truth emanates from that th at fountain fount airy and arid every thing that emanates from it has to be restored back thereto there must be a restoration of all things which have been spoken by 1 the tha a mouths of cf all the tire holy prophets since ethe the world 1 began Is thele e also a fountain of lies yes ye inas buchs we receive a li lie lle e we vve are impregnated with the influence of it although we have received it from another pei pet soly soil oa inasmuch as vre we received it for a truth ruth and cultivate it we nourish tile the principles of lies within us u arid and all lies lie all dishonesty everything that is unwholesome that has not emanated froin from god the fountain of all good has emanated from the fountain of lies or error then mien upon the same principle all ali almirs lies iles have got to be restored to their fountain from whence they came and those who become amalgamated must be restored to tiie tire same fouli fountain 4 kain tain w where 11 j re all liars go so everything has got to be restored to the fountain from whence it came if this is is not so I 1 am mistaken will god restore arid and brin bring bai bask 1 this ins children 9 yes it if evera every evers son and daughter of e adam is no not t brought bac back kinto into his presence or into the fountain f from rom whence fhe the they y sprang it will be became because they tiley have perverted themselves and have become with the principles of evil until they are depraved god will restore the righteous to his presence by righteousness and the bous il to the fountain of unrighteousness with the principle of or evil they tiley have imbibed I 1 am a full blooded you will perceive I 1 know as well weil as I 1 know anything that everything mast m must ast be restored to its own place and this upon natural principles principle I 1 did not think of these ideas before I 1 rose roffe to speak but as quick as I 1 got pot got fot up here they came callie to me ice the same as a though I 1 had bad always been acquainted quain ted with them when we want the spirit of christ what course shall shail we vve take boget it there thero is but one ons way br brigham is our leader our prophet seer aal ank revelator to organize and set in ord order er this church cherch and and is to S be c one ne with min to ass assist I 1 t and act with him and have lave the same spirit ill in me roe that is in him that thai is my callin calling L whether I 1 live up to it or not to the thre fullest extent I 1 should be one with him in all things and should partake of the same power the same spirit of revelation and if I 1 partake of these elements with him hen then I 1 am one with him and if I 1 do not come up to aliese these privileges and duties I 1 am so far a hin hindrance d range rance to him and draw him back instead of helping him forward talk about blocking wheels I 1 tell you gentlemen me you you have no power or business to do that in the last days the car is stai stat stalled teAl and will never stop to need blocking you cannot block it voice they 1 they cannot run fast enough 11 to block it no those who are not in thal ibal car ari are are unable to keep up with it or to block it behind or before I 1 have got on to the tile car I 1 am in the kingdom of god in itie ilie last days which will continue and arid bring in the winding up scene of all lings things ti D da you aou you suppose it goes bumping burn buin fine fing along like an oll old worn out overloaded conveyance and ad every three or four ft feet somebody somebody y come along and arid put a block behind the w wheel I 1 eel to keep it from rouin rolling back get out with your non nonsense senie sense br brigham our leader arid myself with every true saint of god have got on a car that moves swiftly along ard will never stop to need a block behind or before and those that have not nt the spirit and power of this chiq kingdom can n nver hven vir vin trammel it itin in its course not one hairr hairs breadth I 1 have heard the eders elders talk about blocking the wheel as though they were giving giving great assistance but let me tell non yon you s such a ian irn would te in in a poor it will be with him a good deal as it etwas was with those hose anciently who vitro undertook to steady the the lom loa ahey they were broken to pieces now there are a great many people goin going g from gerej here are they going to hinder this work noi no they have gone as missionaries to advance it tea fold faster I 1 will say than it they had bad hot liot goha gOhe they cannot do althin an anything thin against tile flie truth blit bit for it what they may do will make it more pen per ro in anent if their doings and sayings affect at all now I 1 pray and you pray many of you youa and are humble you yon pray for br brigham you pray that llie the holy ghost may rest upon him hira and then you pray that ars heber hebr and arid daniel may be ona one waif hlub as heis he is one with joseph and as joseph is OM ono with peter peter with jesus and jesul with his tris father now what course should I 1 pursue I 1 should evade everything that would prevent me from step stepping forward and being one with br brig ham train novy now which woud would be the most profitable and advance the cause of god tile the most if a person should step in and undertake to break brdak asun 1 der that union that exists in the first presidency encyl of this church for me roe to allow it or step for ward and slay lay him or hei her it would be better hetter for forme ine lne to slay them and let the union continue tori fori for tor it is better for one person to suffer than a whole nation to perish I 1 pray that I 1 imay mav may have the spirit of iny my I 1 father and my god and alid the spirit of jesus my elder eldert brother who is like unto his father and I 1 pray ilat liat that I 1 mav may partake of he file spirit of the holy ghost which ii li 11 is is in the same family and lineage well llen ilen lien hen father let that spirit and arid that power flat hat fiat was ill in petr peter and in james and john rest test upon brigham and add Heber heben and daniel and thea then F ather father let the same power rest upon the twelve apostles that rested ou oil the twelve anciently and arid let tile the same power and ami bl asin isings s rest upon the tile seventies tha t were on the seve beve mies wies ancient ly and let the same seme power rest upon tile the patriarchs and prophets that rested upon those orden ordera anciently and let tiie llie bishopric pi copric and lesser leiser priesthood be blessed with the power of the calling r arid and priesthood which rested upon those ceis in former formen days let this people pray for the same spirit of thi tho father rather that rested upon the patriarchs ani ahi prophet prophets jesus and arid liis his apostles upon joseph and brigham and his brethren for you never can become one unless you obtain that spirit ct ef oneness you have heard brother brigham preach it here time arid and time again and other men thata scattering cat scat ering eringi spirit was not the spirit of god and I 1 know it is not A spirit in a mans family that dolit dont gather with him and act with him is that the same kind of a spirit lie he possesses poss ases no it is the spirit of evil and one that will lead a man or woman to death and destruction and they cannot prosper who encourage it t what course shall shail we take the course we w are taught and directed from time to time lime time by the revelations we hove have received that pertain to us u and arid b 6 y the teachings of the se servants r rants of god and that will wilt make us one
