Show f remarks H 1 t by president GRIG io N BO bowery W erff A a maugus mAu gut gui 19 1 igo 60 REPORTED BY J V X longa I 1 will be bear ar my testimony to the truths that we have heard this morning morning to my understanding to my feelings and to the spirit within me we had a good sound discourse about three minutes and a half halt long iong from br andrew moffat it was right to the point and every word was a text we have also had an excellent discourse from br hooper 1 his hia remarks were sweet to the taste of those 1 who love the truth it is a matter of rejoicing to me to have the privilege lege of bearing my testimony to what we flave have heard this morning br andrew moffat started from here for the states last fall on business and be he has labored most admirably in buy buying ng cattle and in assisting br cannon ant anc amr amT rothes others who were engaged in petting getting up trains and in so doing has made himself very usef user useful ua and I 1 think that he has not neglected in his business transactions and iu in his traveling to let people know that he was a member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints arid and to bear his testimony of the truth of the gospel and at the same time asked no odds of any one who did not want to hear this is the feeling of 0 the elders who I 1 are full oc or the spirit of god and what are the wicked going to do about it the elders have this assurance within them father smith who spoke first this morning has been in the church almost from the beginning but has not gathered with the saints till thi this s season in conversation with him the other day he be told me that leading leadam men in new york said sald aid ald that mormonism would be used up at the time the president issued his orders to the troops some of them asked what lie lle thought of it he replied that lie he did not know what would be done but the result would be that mormonism would triumph over all its enemies and in that affray would come out at the top of the heap this assurance is in every man mail who lives his reli religion igdon I 1 but when any begin to doubt then they begin to think that this is rather a hard religion to live all that has been said by br hooper about ten ter temporal affairs affair is good I 1 I 1 have lived nearly sixty years am many portions of the united states som somewhat acquainted quain ted with europe and anil historically acquainted quain ted with many parts of the world but so far as I 1 have hare traveled and read this is the best country that we were ever in or can r an now find for saints the spirit of the this almighty is being withdrawn from the people and is is it not your prayer that ile he will father gather to zion all he the wisdom ran rai m astren strength inte intelligence gence and integrity of the earth this is the prayer of every one that understands mormonism what will i be their condition when the spirit of the lord is withdrawn they will whet the knife to cut each others throats and as br hooper j remarked try to make mason and Dick sons the dividing line but th atwill not remain for they will cross it to lestroy destroy each other and the sword dand and fire will be prevalent in the land says one but you are aro a mormon and we do not believe anything in mormonism 1 thou thon though h we believe that calamities await el the e af pf OX and that great events are at the thresh boid bold the world and particularly the united states have been told these things during shift thirty y years ears past and thou though g gh no one 1 b bui but uit tit myself had rad ad warned varn varned pd them there would nt not rim JIM be e a man upon the face of the earth but I 1 could h hare bare re heard the gospel if he had been disposed dapos ato to listen isten to it they would have been pre prepared p ared fon foe what is coming for any one of 0 th these e my brethren have said enough to warn the whole world this frees our garments for we are bound to do our duty and then if they neglect the blood of their garments will be found in their skirts not in ours br hooper remarked that lie he had bad learned that mormonism is true it is both the dut duty and privilege iv lege of the latter day saints LOW tt to know that at their religion is true if br 11 hooper had y yielded i elded to his own natural feelings he woul would not have represented us in congress here is a great people and they wish a man in congress to represent them in in their proper light now who would say that 11 he is c capable of 61 doing this bf hooper bitted to the peoples choice as every mail man should had nad hache the choice fallen upon any other as it did upon br 11 S Eldredge who was our first choice previous to the last election for Delegate but it was thought best to change changa it lie he also would have been able to have done his 0 duty in congress to have done whatever the lord Lora wished to have done br Bernhisel vas mas our delegate for several years and are we satisfied with his official course yes he did his duty ilow how shall we know what to do by bein being obedient to every requirement of the gospel br hooper has stated that I 1 promised him the assistance of the almighty I 1 did I 1 laid my hands bands upon him and blest him and told him that he should have dreams and visions and power with god to know what to do if lie he lived his religion but if he did not I 1 promised him nothing ile he prepared himself to pray and when a man with a disposition iray pray to listen i isten to a truth called upon him he felt as well as with his bis friends and could express his feelings but if visitors had no place for the truth the sooner the thew left the better joy filled his bosom an deach time the brethren called to see him was the best beat time he had when a man approached him with the spirit of god he felt feit this is the man for me here is 3 the spirit here are joy and peace in havin having fellowship with the lord jesus christ arta and ana with the father this is is the e ya w a hooper looper felt feit t and jost just as much 6 confided con fiden e as he had bad in what what I 1 told hicso much b be e recel t V

given us its our tabernacles an fly ity ed in in them the germs of eternity and it its s for us in this present existence to let overcome every passion flesh and never to suffer buffer the spirit to
