We're all here from President Jones. Dear brothers and sisters, it's good to be here and be refreshed by the remarks of the servants of God. And to once more have a chance to renew our covenants, at least with ourselves, that we are determined to go from this meeting and do as we have been told. Get the Spirit of God and keep it.

And I trust that the few remarks I make might be dictated by the spirit of our Heavenly Father. When President Musser began to speak, I thought of a verse or two that is recorded in the Pearl of Great Price, and I believe I'll read it. You find this in the Book of Abraham, in about the third chapter.

And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those who were with him, We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell. You'll all remember that these were the words that were spoken when the sons of God gathered together.

The Lord spoke to them. And we will prove them wherewith to see if they will do the things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them. The very things that President Musser has been trying all the evening to get before this people. And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon. And they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate. And they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads forever and ever. And the Lord said, Whom shall I send? And one answered, Like unto the Son of Man, Here am I, send me. And another answered and said, Here am I, send me. And the Lord said, I will send the first. And the second was angry and kept not his first estate. And at that day many followed after him. And he has kept on from that day unto this, trying to lead away the soul of man. The Lord showed unto our old grandfather.

Lehi, the full story, when he gave him that wonderful vision and he saw concourses of people following after the ways of the world. The few people were clinging to the rod and trying to make their way to the fountain of truth. And he was sure that many who looked across the gulf and saw the great concourse of people And the great enticements that were made to wean away their hearts and their souls were overcome and they too went over. And there were only a few who made their way to the fountain of truth. And how true it is. You have the picture before you today. We have only a little handful of people compared to the great multitude.

that are upon the earth today following after the ways that Satan has designed to lead away the hearts of people and to lead their souls down to hell. I wish, my brothers and sisters, that there was some way that the servants of God could penetrate the hearts of the people and save them from the great destruction that awaits them. But they will not listen.

They wouldn't listen to Christ, they wouldn't listen to Joseph, and they won't listen today. So broad is the way, and wide is the gate, and it leadeth to destruction. And many there be that go in their act. But narrow is the way, and narrow the gate, that leadeth to life eternal. And few there be that find it. There's been many wonderful things portrayed to us tonight.

And I don't want to detract from that spirit. So I'm going to give way and let you ponder upon the things that have been told you, the testimonies that have been brought by these faithful sisters as well as the brethren. But I want to say God bless you, each and every one that has come out tonight. And I hope that the Spirit of God will...

penetrate your souls and put within your heart a firm determination to round out your salvation through sacrifice. May God bless you, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
