Show REMARKS ky iry president YOUNG nowery cowery no ery ert july J U I 1 y 9 1 REPORT reported rD ny BY j v lono boya loyo I 1 awill will say a fw words before we dismiss a and nd I 1 wish to say that which will be comforting ar 9 a and nd consoling to those who delight in the t truth tb that which will be pleasing to our father in heaven and be sanctioned sanction cd by his I 1 holy oy spirit by angels and by the saints who wh 0 live upon the earth eare earr you bear much said by some come about their sacrifices as they use the term it is without meaning mear illig to me divines exclaim come and give div 4 all for christ 2 I 1 would ifould like to know what the children of men have to ive ave give what ahat they have to sacrifice to Tom my understanding ta abe term is used ampro improperly perit we are but stewards over wh what a t our fatir father puts in in ofir our possession we possess houses farm gardens eng ens orchards vineyards ah pleasant locations but are they ahry actually ours no Is there a foot or an inch of this earth that rightly belongs to lir lit no god has puta pulpit it in our posse possession ision and has given us ability to take from the elements to make habitations to shelter ourselves but are the elements ours suppose the lord should cause a tornado to pass through t liere here as lie ho has lately done in some places places pisces in the states and destroy all we possess can we say to the winds cease blowing or oc suppose lle ile lie he should cause lightning to tn destroy our buil bull buildings dill S can we vve stop it no we have power to plow sow till and irrigate but can we of ourselves prodoc oni on par spear of grass crass or one kernel of grain no NM with Witt me lyne it is folly to say that we own anything and to speak of giving or sacrificing as many rany ds do is a misapplication of terms the spirits of the human buman family are ara r pure and anti holy at the time they enter ta tabernacles bern acles but the lord has so ordered that the bemy nemy enemy has hag great power over our tabernacle whose organization pertains to the ibe earth through t this plan pan arises our probationary warfare 0 our lir tabernacles are conceived in sin ain and MA fid conceives in them thera and our spirits are arc sriv striving r to bring C our bodies into subjection and to overcome the devil and the evils in the world this war and striving to overcome that evil power must continue until we triumph to accomplish thisbe this we must so yield obedience to the divine influence as to learn the principles of eternal life to learn to bring the whole man all the passions sympathies and feelings in subjection to the spirit our spirits are warring against the flesh and the flesh against our spirits and all we have to do is to I 1 let iet et the spirits that have come from our father in heaven reign atrium triumphant hant and bring cilito subjection every thing tat that tends to evil then we are christ christs the savior has haa not finished his work and can not receive the fullness of his glory until the influence and power of the wicked are overcome and brought into subjection when the wicked inhabitants of the earth the beasts of the field fowls of the air bishof the sea all mineral substances and all else pertaining to this earth are overcome then ho he will take the kingdom present it to the father rather and say here is the work you pave gave ave me to d do you yon made the appointment I 1 eve have wrought faithfully and here are my brethren and sisters who have wrought with me we have wrought faithfully together we have overcome the flesh helland heiland hell heli and the devil I 1 have overcome they have followed in my footsteps and here are all thou hast given me 1 I have lost none except the son of perdition jesus suffered himself to be crowned with thorng thorns and crucified but suppose he had bad said 1 I will not make this great sacrifice I 1 am the almighty almi aimi gaty I 1 will dash my enemies 0 o n piece pieces and I 1 will not die for the 11 what would have been the result fesui would have become i a son of perdition ho would have lost every power and right to tho kingdom he was about to redeem would have become no better than the son cf ef the morning who contended against him and would have havo contended against rig righteousness li from that time and against whoever the lord would then a appoint to destroy sin and death ln and I 1 wh him th that a had a the he power of it ap we can follow darkness and death if it wi im choose but let us cling to light instead of da I 1 lice ilce hatred wrath and bitterness for jesus will make an end of all evil himself is all alt that man min has to give for wisdom when you yon do to this it is not giving facts for fac it is elchan exchanging in falsehood for facts 0 and folly for truth bilat what have you to give e tor for ilfe life everlasting you yon are your F fathers al liers we can not own
