the truth the confidence they have in the priesthood and the blessings enjoyed by them while those who do not have this testimony mony assurance and confidence and who do not enjoy en joy the promised

presidency and the twelve apostles afternoon elder brigham young Youngja junr ur referred to the carrying caming the gospel to the nations and the blessings which the saints enjoy through the labors of those who first went out as missionaries of the truth lruth and urged upon people here who have been assisted to emigrate by saints still in the those from whom they have received aid and pay what they have enjoyed the benefit of he reasoned upon the folly of people who turn away from the truth as in the zos sos pel and by obedience to it every blessing that mankind la Is capable of enjoying can be received elder erastus snow treated on the gospel having been carried to the poor and their receiving it more mere than the rich have done not because it Is not equally free to al albut but because the poor tn in this adeas age as in the days of the savior were more ready to humble themselves and obey the commandments of god the haughty minded will be abased while the humble and contrite of heart will be exalted and they who permit the perishable things of this world to turn them from the truth will wiil lose the very veny object they have in view and be stripped of the source of their pride the Nep hites of old enjoyed many and great blessings but they forsook the lord and the Lama scourged urged them until eventually they were wasted brasted away and destroyed because of their transgressions the lord will preserve his people ir if they continue faithful ns na he has preserved thern them in the past and every effort to destroy them will but on tho the heads of those
