My brothers and sisters, the few moments that I stand here I desire an interest in your faith and prayers. We have heard many things today. How many of us took these things to ourselves and believe them? Uncle Lorin said that you have got to know that the Gospel is true. What is the Gospel?the plan of salvation? It is the greatest gift that can be placed upon man. It is the gift that will lead us to eternal lives. Joseph Smith gave the principles to the people so that the people could understand them. He came down and restored the plan that was once on the earth at the time of Adam, and at the time of the Savior. These principles that will exalt us and save us; these are what we want of life. It is what God says, not what man says. If we can hunt them out, we can find out what we must do to gain that eternal life. In order to get into the Kingdom of God, we must be born again?repentance, and baptism, and the holy ordinance of sealing. It takes those things to get into the Kingdom of God. Let us go on to perfection. To faith let us add knowledge; to knowledge, virtue and charity. Charity has almost lost its meaning today. In that day it meant the pure love of God. Now, brothers and sisters, these things were given to us in their plainness and simplicity, and God fixed these laws. In

Section 101 of the Doctrine and Covenants to the Prophet, the Lord gives a parable concerning the redemption of Zion unto man. The nobleman told his servants to plant twelve olive trees, and to build a tower that they might look over and see their enemies afar off. They started to build the tower, but came to variance one with another, asking what need they had of the tower at a time of peace. Then the enemy came, and they started to run because they were not prepared as they were told. When the higher ordinances of the Gospel were given to the people by the Prophet, only two percent of the people obeyed these ordinances. Then what came? The Edmunds Law, and the people got scared and ran. Finally the Master said, ?What have you done? Get up the young men and the middle-aged and go back and redeem My land.? Brothers and sisters, we are in that condition today. God has spoken, and He is going to come back here, and the people are going to redeem that land. I want to bear my testimony that God never gives any commandment unless He opens the way. It will take more than a Manifesto to ever stop the principle of Celestial Marriage. (He told the story of the purse.?Who is the loser?) God will open the way if you will live this law. We are going to purify ourselves and cleanse ourselves if we expect to go back to Jackson County, but we must not have sin among us. How many of us are preparing and sanctifying ourselves? God bless you, amen.
