| Show REMARKS by president HERER lieber 0 kimball nio loraing ruins rulus april 27 iss REPORTED BY I 1 V lokey LONG nong every true saint that has hag got the light of heaven in hem can realize arid and corner hend bend in a degree decree the importance of what president young bab baa sald said to ua us men alen frequently speak of good sense but the question may lie ie aski what ia is good sense I 1 consider that that man or woman that baggot has got the light of heaven beaven in them whether it ia Is by the natural ria lia tural or tb the a spiritual r lual eyes that is he the light of christ arid and tal that a t is good sense now it is impossible to have the light of christ except you are alive aase in christ we are like a limb that thai is alive in a 2 tree yes yea every one that ard are ar latter day saint saints u vie pie e are united or should be as the heart of one ode man arid and no man will be saved and gathered with christ except they are grafted into him for they must r belve the life th tbt A fl ws from frow him in order to be ba exalted ith ith him it is upon upon the same principle that the graft that ia is put into a tree receives rec eires life from the tree into which it is 13 en grafted it is necessary that we should all be alive in christ and to partake of hla hia attributes and also of the tle attrib tes of his father then we become bacome 0 olze lie Z with christ as be is one with the father wo W never ca can ln enjoy hs the life lire giving influences influenced ot of the spirit of wd god except wo ve jive she and aud our reli rell celii jI n always abides n in the ehe Y ne e for as the tho innon b ri deforth or cr produce e except xe ept it remain connect connected eo witt uthe the tree so we ve c cannot annot increase in liht and knowledge unless we keep alire alive in christ this people are a good people an am ani i they are full of 0 life they are alire alive in christ and they live their religion and god blesses them I 1 am aware that we are protected and shielded by the almighty be he bailles baffles the world ward wars off the storms and and the tempests tem peala for the sake of the righteousness that dwells in the midst of 0 this peo people le it la 15 not done for the sake of the liar tre the thiet thief and other abominable characters but his protecting arm is extended tor for the ake sake of 0 the righteous they are the tho means ot of pre preserving serving this people and there ij is enough oe of them to save t the e rest from destruction truc tion and through atiat medium we vre as a are protected it is a common thing for as 03 to send to I 1 states for choice fruit fruito and the Porn who receives our orders cals cala orf off scions from the bast best fruit trees trebs and aenis sends to us the bummer summer the fall and the winter apples and we also get the pear the vium plum ilum lium the cherry and the peach we graft those various kinds of good rood fruit into our seedlings and then the tree produces fruit according to the kind that was grafted into it and in this way we procure good fruit it is just BO so with you uness unless you abide la in christ after being grafted in 5 you jou ou will not bear any good fruit there are iden icen and women here who have come from the states who seem to have a little good f feeling eeling in them bat were werd they ever properly grafter grafted into the true vine no they simply got under the goad influence but they have not borne any fruit where have bare you seen an individual that has come here to speculate cuate or do business that has ever been truly favorable to his this bis people there have been very few and most of them have died but there are quite as many that are favor tavor favorable asble alele aa as I 1 expect to see men come here and get good impressions the spirit of the lord resting with hem but they do not embrace the truth and consequently tha the good influence leaves them and they their turn against the cause of christ the devil gets power over oven them and they begin to operate against the kingdom of our god god and to seek beek the lives of his bis servants and anointed ones lt lit ouch men go their own way I 1 have got now so that I 1 cannot have confidence in a any n Y that come here until they prove themselves vesp and therefore I 1 have quit the practice of ot reposing bonfi confidence fence in strangers and I 1 place my ray confidence in god in bis his kin kingdom glom in his bis servants and in the earth that is made for our UP us brother brigham was wag speaking of the earth and telling us that we should be cautious how we we use it for it ia is our mother and arid the man that will disgrace his mother is unworthy of her fostering care I 1 have been a child up upon this ibis earth for 61 year yeara and there ia is not anything but what it produces are you not required to be just as faithful as lam iam I 1 am why of course we shall have to give an account of the deeds done in the boby and so also 2180 wit wilt all min mankind kind look at the animal creation they mer were all created by law and will fulfill ahalt tha t law by which they were created but see the feeling and disposition that we have exour hearts to be cruel cmel towards animas arld and that same passion that we cultivate towards the brute creation mankind by and by will have toward one another ct upon the experience of the past and you will fiad it ao no I 1 perceive that the older I 1 grow the more compassion I 1 have upon be the brute but young and men and careless cruel bo boys y 3 will drive a horse borse at the rate of sixteen mites miles au an hour and then whip him all the way up every hill on the journey Is this the spirit of carist ani an i of c our holy religion to be cluel to animals and beat them in tiia tois way I 1 say no our religion reli rell llon jion and anil the spirit of christ would wohld teach us to be kind to them to acour age them by bating ani nourishing them it isa is laa isa a good deal so with this kingdom there are some bome who are all the time blocking the wheels ot of the kingdom ia in place of helping to roll roil it for forward if it these brethren who are sp so wild and ans inconsiderate would but learn enough enoah 0 to block the wheels oe of their team instead d ot oel being to 0 o severe upon their animals they would act more like wise men and saints ot of god when president leht debt young says to tse the bishops go and ind get op three hundred teams and send to the states to gather the p or t s they should go at it with spirit and with energy as men wen of gol in fact we should all take a co course arse to comply with ith tire counsel that ia is givan given we should cultivate the earth that it may yield of its increase that we ire may have an abundance of wheat corn potatoes appes peaches and every other variety of ef grain truit fruit rul rustand rui tani tand ani vegetable we should always look forward 6 to a future increase increase striving to make everything mul mui multiply tilly ly in ita its it sphere and thus funi the measure of its creation if it we ow sow a kernel oe of wheat it will produce probably a thousand
