according to my feelings my desires de siKes aid ard they are according accord liw irm to the spirit that hasteen has been given unto me I 1 have sought in iny my simplicity to produce the most simple things that I 1 possibly could to show this people the propriety ot 0 one you know I 1 have brought tip up th he appe apple tree trpe the tho peach tree the grape and all the variety of vines the cucumber the watermelon melon meion iund and every effry other simple simpie thin tiling to show unto this people that we have to become like those vires vines and thoe thore various bodies which I 1

manur and conducting of gas afford a good illustration of the operations of the holy ghost the place were the gas as is manufactured maybe called the fountain head pheni then ihen by a power at head qu quarter quarters orter s it was carried by pipes and propelled through Z every avenue even to the extremity of the ithe city when that gas is conveyed convoyed lo 10 a city it gives light it is so also with the holy spirit there is sufficient lofv chitto to be conveyed to every man and woman according to their necessity for jesus says that every son soil and ard daug liter it hat at cometh into the world receive th of his I 1 ight 1 and it proceeds from head quarters billave I 1 have spoken upon these things before not using this figure in particular but upon the same principle A bishop has power to dictate and control his ward even as he is dictated by those over him when a family or that portion of the city who rec recen eivie elvie their light from him reject that pipe or that authority they reject the authority or the pipe that conveys the light to them it is so with the seventies and also wit with hevery every quorum in this church Tl there fere are seven presidents of lle ile lie he seventies then there is one man that presides over the other six f r ar alethe the six to be subject to the first of their number tiey they are for he is the head of that limb limba and if tila hie six giz reject that man they reject the air ain authority hority or the pipe that conveys light to them if the quorums of the seventies reject their limbs 0 01 presidents who are even to the tire seven connect connected eA to the main limb of the seventies they also shut off the light which would flow to them who are the seventies amenable to they are amenable to the men that preside over ovir them and ard it is so with every department part ment of the priesthood from the authority of odthe the Apostles Apostleship bip down to that of the teacher what a strange doctrine says one
