sustained by the faith and prayers of the conference ripest oro q CAN CANNON ox addressed the audience of I himself im i ho he could not toll tell what was beat but bulled suited to the circumstances of the saints but it required the spirit of god to give instruction praise and if need be bo reproof that it might do the most good wo aro are living i in a momentous age a day dily when tho the p predictions re of the servants of god arc rl coming to pass As the work in increases it was said by the early servants of tho the lord the persecution would not only bo be limited to counties and states but hi iti would spread until it became national in its character this prediction has verily como come to pass do our enemies enemies have any idea that by their acta acts against us they are helping to establish the claims of Morn mormonism to divinity or are they conscious that they arc are helping to establish the truths of the prophecies P beches of joseph smith and tar the aa apostles postles at of the church I urca but it is so and thus thu the acts of men are turned to prove the truths of god and to add to the glary of ha his church it is worthy of remark that the man who introduced the law of 1862 was a representative from the state of vermont go so also was E edmunds d who introduced introduce dOthe tho bill of 1882 the poland bill was intro deuced by a representative from vermont A remarkable thing that vermont should be thus the persecutor of the saints joseph smith and 11 hyrum rum brigham young heber C kimball im ball the snow family I the farrs barrs the hatches and many others of our leading men are from the green mountain state this is a remarkable fact many of the sainta saints have thought we should have a hard bard ti time me in tho the future and no doubt we shall have all we can endure and it shall seem at times that we nye are about to be overwhelmed tho the clouds of darkness will gather over us this is a providence of god to test aur our faith in the precious promises ho ile has made unto us god has fins mada made a promise to us that notwithstanding our enemies endeavors ag against ainest us peace shall be with us as a people and shall abide in our families read this premise promise of god in the section of the doctrine and covenants when it seemed the whole power of the nation was against the saints and congress wag was in a mood to do any harm barm against this people the most remarkable peace and most wonderful exhibition of unfailing trust in the promises of god whom the nations disregarded was manifested by this people who cannot eee see this exhibition of trust among us god be thanked that we have this feeling among us we have walked in peace met in our assemblages in peace slept in pe peace a cc and e enjoyed J oyed in peace tho precious princia principles ITS of truth why should it not be so let us continue in this quietude letting tho the morrow take care i of itself so long as wo we livo live in in i peace and antho in the spirit of god today so long as we lie down in p peace bace this night as long as we have this peace with us the speaker promised in the name of the lord jesus that no power an en the earth would be strong enough to overt overthrow brow the power of god or the labors of his ilia people there is but one feeling but one spirit but one impression that there is no danger for Zion that her permitting these thes e persecutions to como come only to fulci fulfill 11 the prophecies of god in the most painful part of the persecutions not one despondent thought prevailed in his mind nor in iu any of the leaders of the church but they are thankful that liese things exist that these perse persecutions unions have turned in int the hedi di of placing our people above the common low people thus sustaining gainin our position that it is polygamy I that tat is aimed at rather than the illicit commerce of the wicked in the midat midst of the deepest tribulations god is the nearest unto us what therefore have we wo to fear we are engaged in laying the foun dation of a work the greatness of which we cannot conceive and god will give us victory and glory in the diligence we ire manifest in keeping his commandments one subject which was delicate he wished to touch that there were some sonic who not aning having fulfilled or obeyed the principles of plural p lural marriage felt te themselves saviors to the people ho ile hoped there would not be a feeling grow up among such ho considered if lie had not obeyed the commandment of coles celes tint marriage ho lie would havo have been damned lie ile R only spoke for himself an overpowering desire to obey tho the command of god was hia his only object for entering into thia this principle hence he be had lad no reflections because he had obeyed the law though ho be had been deprived of hia his rights therefore we cannot deny tho tha commands of god there is no alternative with us we roust must endure the persecutions odthe of the wicked or bo be damned wo we must throw ourselves into the arms of god or perish wo we arc are willing to trust him who has always been at our right hand and on our left let no one therefore who has not obeyed the law for one moment believe he is tho the savior of tho the people for if the people are ever saved saved it will bo be through those who have obeyed the law air of god and a nd been cast cut out by men rather suf buffering fiering the wrongs of men than the punishments of god for us there is no salvation but to obey god or die let us go homo home and pursue tho the even tenor of our way 11 in peace fearing no one but GO god yet not defying the laws of man there is more danger in the growth of wealth among us in in a few hands bands than in anything Emy thing congress or the commissioners can do god desires no class classes among us its those who are rich have a spirit of com compromise and this god desires to prevent otherwise tho the zion of our lord lorl cannot bo be built tho tile time will come when the talent of the business men among us must be used fur for the common good of all just as tho the talent of prest taylor smith woodruff and the twelve apostles is used solely for the building up of the kingdom n of god otherwise zion danboi cannot be built god may scourge us drive us tear us up by the roots but it must surely come to pass paes let us prepare ourselves for this with all our might PRESIDENT w wooD nurr URr desired to express an item that had been on his mind for the last year it was this if god had a people on the earth
