without giving aitu authority and this to la shown by the aiges following as aa well by the out pouring of the holy spirit these are essential to the gospel people say the ibe saints sainte are deluded but the speaker would with to god that all the world would be equally deluded 13 that they would repent and humble themselves before the lord and accept salvation this Is what w we profess to have done and ana this thin is a what we call upon the world to do this thin is the true doctrine of the gospel such aa the lord and his servants in all ages have proclaimed there la is no danger ot of being deceived for any one who seeks information from god but in order to u understand the gospel we must commence with the first principles just fust as much as it if we were to apply ourselves to any other science now the saints sainte understand these things and the only difficulty is to apply these principles to our daily lives and thereby cleanse and PU purify our characters the speaker a

mission the speaker found that even who were abroad were tilled filled with the spirit of the gospel and he was wag thankful to say that tha to his understanding standi Dg the he kingdom to is growing grow luor we have obeyed the principles ot of the gospel but the speaker had heard in the midst of the people things that were new and strange to him we are here for the express purpose of keep I 1 g our minds pure we tire are the only people who profess to be led by direct inspiration it to is therefore strange that the things of the world should have such a hold seemingly upon us there is no time to be lost it if we shall be prepared to meet the lord if we give way to things that are of the world we are sing there is no do other way of obtaining favor from the lord than by serving him clearly he will nut not justify us if we seek in everything to be like the world we are here to lern learn of the s of t th h lord and not to follow the world the speaker very earnestly exhorted the saints sainte to eliminate from them all that is impure M and improper the whole world is against us but no matter those who wha are honest will be 8 ved when the world shall perish god alone can save
