Our Neighbor to Live the United Order; When You Enter the United Order, You Cannot Turn Back; When We Go Back to Zion, We Will Go Back in Power; Sisters Cannot Rise Above Their Husbands My dear sisters, if the Lord will bless me with His Holy Spirit tonight, I want to bear testimony to what Brother Musser has said. How many of us here realize why they are called the gentile church? At the death of Solomon, Rehoboam took his throne. They said, ?What are we doing with Judah?? All the tribes left but Benjamin and they stood faithful with Judah, etc. Ephraim refused to go with the other tribes to the north country. They married and intermarried with the gentile people. When the Lord sent out messages, He sent them out to gather all the blood of Ephraim from the gentile blood. That is why we are called the gentile church. The Book of Mormon is in the hands of Joseph Smith, a pure Ephraimite. Now we are gathering out a few of the blood of Ephraim in this group. Of that small number what do we see today? Some of them are going back. Now sisters, on this plane, I want to say a few words to let you know what is going to happen. The Lord has said that Zion can only be redeemed under the Celestial Law. The Lord has said also: D. C. 84 54. And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received? 55. Which vanity and unbelief have brought the whole church under condemnation. 56. And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all. 57. And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written? We all would like to live the United Order, but when you start it, you are going into something so much harder than the principle of Celestial Marriage that it will be difficult to begin it. So we must love our neighbor as ourselves in order to go into it. Who is going to live it if you are not preparing yourself for it, when the One Mighty and Strong comes, unless we prepare our hearts and get ready to do these things? We have talked to the brethren, and now we want to talk to the sisters. When we put our hand to it, we must not turn back. We must go ahead. I am not asking the sisters to go urge your husbands, but to help your husbands. Do you know that a liberal man will give if he has it to give? The Lord will take care of us if we keep the commandments of God. You won?t starve if you do what is right and do your part. I was pleased at what Joseph said about the lineage. Sometime, when the time comes, and the hidden things of our lineage are made known, you will find out where you are going. The Priesthood has been called. When Adam was baptized, the Lord blessed him and gave him the Priesthood after the order of the Son of God. You keep coming up and up until you receive the higher order. This little group of Latter-day Saints, what kind of people are we? God hears and answers prayers, and He speaks by the heavens and by the voice of the Spirit. And someday some of you sisters will see a ray of light and wonder where it came from. What is it? The Spirit of God. Joseph said he does not believe there is a better people on earth. I don?t believe there is either. I don?t think there is a better class of mothers and daughters as those here in the Priesthood. You are bringing up Prophets, men who are going to be a power in the earth, men and women of the future. If we don?t take a hold now, we are going to be pushed aside. D. C. 103 22. Therefore let my servant Baurak Ale [Joseph Smith, Jun.] say unto the strength of my house, my young men and the middle aged?Gather yourselves together unto the land of Zion, upon the land which I have bought with money that has been consecrated unto me. I knew that I was going to be called to the position that I am called to, because I saw it in a vision and it was revealed to me. I knew that Uncle John Woolley was going to die, and Uncle Lorin would, too. This holy order got down to one frail man, but it has been renewed and will continue to be renewed to seven, and before long we will have seventy, the power of God on earth. I have heard reports of men and women criticizing the Priesthood of God. Be careful! The men don?t amount to anything, but the office they hold is what counts. We, I have told you, have got to use that Priesthood. When it is used, and used as it ought to be, men would be afraid to come near us. (Example of Brother Parrish was given.) There is a time coming not far off when the Prophets of Israel are going to speak and the nations of the earth will listen to it. When we go back to Zion, we will go back in power. The mountains will be smoothed down, the nations will tremble in fear. Some of us here will be changed so they can?t hurt us. This earth will be cleansed and prepared for our Lord and Master to come here. In regard to the plan of United Effort, there is no compulsion. We have asked for it; now we must do it. Just go to your husbands and say, ?I am with you.? There isn?t a sister big enough to get bigger than her husband if he has the Priesthood. Through the power of the holy Priesthood, I do bless you. I know that you are going to be willing and do it, and sacrifice. We know how it is going to be. Not one of us know what trouble and trials are; we just think we do. How many of you sisters have seen your husbands tied and mobs gathered around with no protection for you sisters? It is when you get the finger of
