Dedication Conference Meeting, Salt Lake City, Utah, Saturday 7:30 P.M. at Lincoln Street
Hearing that song takes me back to when Uncle John and Lorin were here teaching us true order of Priesthood. But I was not satisfied just what he was teaching, and I got a testimony of my own. He taught me things of that kind and confirmed it. That which he taught is a result of so many here today. I want you to know that Uncle Lorin was under a covenant, and he could not do much in the way we are doing; but after he went, Brother Joseph [Musser], Charles [Zitting], and the others were not under the covenant, and we could go ahead to preach the Gospel in its fullness as others who were tied down could not do. They told me many things. Many of you wonder why Joseph F. Smith did not come out and say what he wanted to. Because the Lord said to hold on and let them fill out the measure of their iniquities. And we have to be careful. If we are not, when we come to take the tares, we will take the wheat also. But this building shows what can be done by a few people. As Joseph Smith said, ?Give me twelve men who will follow the Lord as directed, and we can fight them all.? God bless this people, and may the spirit of unity and love be in our hearts. Remember this motto here, ?The Kingdom of God or Nothing.? If we live up to that, we will live every law that God has laid down for us. God bless you, amen.
