I will just say, brothers and sisters, we are getting a little towards what we have tried to get over for some time?to get the Spirit of God. I was down south just lately, and I noticed the brethren getting more of the Spirit of God. I want to say to you brethren here, this load is going to be on you. You get the Spirit of God and keep it and your wife will follow you. (He quoted President Kimball on the subject.) Now, if you lead them and teach them these things, then if they don?t follow you, your skirts are clean. You cannot go into the house and kick one thing over here and another there?you cannot help but lose the Spirit of God. If you do, just that minute the rest of the house will take on that spirit. There isn?t a man here but what loses his temper, that his wife won?t lose her temper, too. If we get the Spirit of God and keep it, we will act on principles. A few Sundays ago, I think one of the brethren here was speaking of Brigham Young. He says, ?I never embraced any man in the Gospel. I embraced the laws of God, the principles of salvation.? If you go anywhere, you will hear them all speaking against the people, but can they say anything against the laws of God? You go out in the mission field, and they will tell you what a terrible man Joseph Smith was, and Brigham Young, and Heber C. Kimball, etc. You hear all those things out there, but can they say a word against the principles of the Gospel? You can take a boy with the plough, who has embraced the laws of the Gospel and has the Spirit of God, and send him out there, and he can cope with the learned ministers. If we don?t get the Spirit of God and be able to exercise it willingly, we are going to be whipped into it. We know what is going on around about us. A short time ago I heard what a terrible fellow Brother Musser was, etc. It is the dirty little truths we hear that hurt us. When you have some of those truths mixed with it, those are the things that hurt. They are the things to watch and guard against. I have heard Marion speak lots of times, but I don?t believe I ever heard him preach a better sermon than he preached today. He preached you the very thing that will exalt you, that will bring you back into the presence of God. Now, if we keep these things and carry them in our hearts, and determine to serve God in spite of everything, be prayerful and humble about it, God will open the way for us. If we don?t do it, then it is going to be our own fault. (He then told of Brother Kelsch and what a blessed man he felt he was when he spoke in meeting this morning, etc.) God never forced any man. How blessed we are that God gave us our rights and freedom. He never said you have got to do this or the other. Know This, That Every Soul Is Free 1. Know this, that every soul is free To choose his life and what he?ll be; For this eternal truth is given That God will force no man to heav?n. 2. He?ll call, persuade, direct aright, And bless with wisdom, love, and light, In nameless ways be good and kind, But never force the human mind. 3. Freedom and reason make us men; Take these away, what are we then? Mere animals, and just as well The beasts can?t think of heav?n or hell. 4. May we no more our powers abuse, But ways of truth and goodness choose; Our God is pleased when we improve His grace and seek his perfect love. 5. It is my free will to believe; ?Tis God?s free will me to receive; To stubborn willers this I?ll tell, ?Tis all free grace and all free will. 6. Those who despise grow harder still: If they adhere, he turns their will; And thus despisers sink to hell, While those who heed in glory dwell. 7. But if we take the downward road, And make in hell our last abode, Our God is clear; and we shall know We plunged ourselves in endless woe. I am just a little in favor of the women, for I believe the women will back the men if they are led right, if he will do his part. He may get a knock now and then, but it will do him good. God bless you, amen.
