A very cry important principle is evolved in meeting together in quarterly conferences bince the days of christ it has been customary to organize orga nizo churches of biffl erent character in 1830 1930 iho the prophet joseph Sui itI having received the requisite q ua ite au authority from god organ church of jesus christ of latter day saints with six members to furnish car to office n necessary ec essary to make the tile organization complete an aneel angel john the baptist came to the pro pilot joseph and restored the priesthood he ile subsequently received r 0 the priesthood which gives a man power to confer the tile gift of the holy ghost since the days of the apostles none held this power powers until the time when joseph smith received revelations from god it is a cause of regret clial the world doea does not look at the faith of tho the lan lat ter day saints in a natural light the work ila has never received much lecog from the great and the mighty they cannot stoop to it but did we have received the spirit of god the greatest boon to mankind which will chow us things past present and future our enemies are numerous but god and one roan man are a great majori ty 1 therefore the world will have a hi rd foght with willi god and a great many good goo d men wo vo call cal upon all men everywhere to repent we preach the tile sarno gospel that christ taught the priesthood has been universally distributed among the members of the andaas and as a 1 consequence priesthood ie is not valued as it should e some are dissatisfied with the office which may be that
