My brethren and sisters, I have been greatly interested in the remarks of the brethren. The Lord said He was going to raise up a peculiar people. He also said He was going to perform a strange act. Can we see it being performed? Nearly every one of the Prophets that have gone before us has said a people would come out from among the Latter-day Saints. Who is teaching those things today? Those that have been cut off and handled. President Young said that a people would come out from among the Latter-day Saints who would live all the laws of God and keep His commandments. Brother Kimball said the same thing. Orson F. Whitney spoke of the same thing. Brother Budge, President of the European Mission, said there was to be two things come to pass. One would be a peculiar people coming out from among the Latter-day Saints and living all the laws of God, who would form a nucleus of the great Millennium. The other thing would be killing off and destroying those that did not keep the commandments of God. These things are occurring every day we live. I believe it was Brother Cardon who had a vision and saw a line drawn through the land down through Arizona, and he saw those that were keeping the commandments of God on the west side, and others on the east side, and some of them straddling the line. He saw the line spreading out until they had to get on one side or the other, and almost invariably those that had been straddling fell off to the east. He also saw the destruction that was coming. A large black cloud was coming toward them, and the people on the east side were destroyed, and on the other side they were not destroyed; and they came to meet the Savior. We have had it preached to us time and time again. Isaiah and also the Prophet Joseph Smith said One Mighty and Strong would come, and that time is drawing closer and closer. It wouldn?t surprise me to see it happen at any time. Those opposing the laws of God are fighting, and those that believe in the laws of God are not fighting it, but are trying to keep the commandments of God. I thought the other evening when two Bishops came here to show some of the people they were wrong, they don?t take the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, or the Prophets of God. President Young said when he spoke with the Spirit of God, it is just as much scripture as the Book of Mormon, etc. But what is the result? What are they trying to do? The Prophet Joseph Smith gave us some laws and commandments, and now they are trying to make them of none effect. The other night they tried to preach and prove that if a man marry a wife?I said it would be impossible to marry more than one at once?it was Celestial Marriage. The other brethren here told them it was the law of God?there is no revelation on Celestial Marriage?it was embodied in plural marriage. The Lord replied to the question as to how Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are justified and said all those who have these laws revealed to them must obey the same or be damned. And yet they say there is Celestial Marriage but not a plurality of wives. Brother Penrose said if you do away with plural marriage you will have to do away with Celestial Marriage. Does the Church today believe that marriage in the temple was done away with? They believe they are going into the Celestial Kingdom. They will never get there without living all the laws. We must live all the Celestial Law to attain the blessing. Our people were persecuted until they made covenants with the leaders of this nation, and it finally brought us to the point where Nephi said there are two churches, the Church of God and the church of the devil. Wouldn?t that be making a covenant with death and an agreement with hell? That is exactly what they have done. Many leaders today know this it true. For the last fifty years I have been taught it wasn?t right to enter into the laws of God; but no man will go back to Jackson County and help build up the center stake of Zion who does not live this law. We have got to come up with the other laws just exactly the same. Zion will never be redeemed except by the Celestial Law. We think plural marriage is hard to live, but it isn?t a circumstance compared with the United Order. We all love ourselves more than anybody else, and we have got to learn to love our brother as ourselves. That was the first law given to the saints. The laws of faith, repentance, and baptism were given to the sinners to make them become saints; but after they became saints, they were given the law of consecration. Did they live it? Some did, and some did not, and the result was there was such a few that were big and strong enough to live it, that a lesser law was given?a law of tithing. And how many of us Latter-day Saints pay a tenth of what we have got? These things are going on gradually, and are coming closer every day to a head, and it won?t be long before you will see some going on and others going backwards. It is just according to our faith what we do. If we live the laws, we will get the blessing; and if we don?t live the laws, we won?t get the blessing. I don?t wish to take up your time today, but I say God bless this people, and may they see the necessity of keeping the commandments; because if we don?t, we are going to be in a bad way. I have seen it a number of times, and I know what we are going to get if we don?t keep the commandments of God. We have no way out, only that the Lord will bring us; and if we don?t keep His laws, we can?t expect His blessing. God bless us, amen.
