We have had quite a variety today. I feel that this finger of scorn being pointed toward us does not amount to much. It is like the Swede who was called all the bad names that could be thought of; and they asked him what was the matter, and he said, ?I have been a Swede all the time.? That is the same thing that is the matter with us. What I want to know is how many of us are keeping humble? How many are asking the Lord to help us? That is the thing that is worrying me more than anything else. The Lord showed me that if we would be humble and prayerful and exercise faith enough, the door will be opened for us; and it will, if we are prayerful and humble enough. If we are not, we will have to be buffeted until we do get humble. Yes, we are a few people being cast out. What does the Lord say about it? Who shall gain in the end? Nearly every Prophet has told us that a people would come out of the Church, a people that would live all the laws. Brothers and sisters, we have got to live all the laws. We talk about the United Order, and we will have to live it. The Lord said that Zion would not be redeemed until we do. We hear some say that you haven?t the right to do this and that. If the brethren hold the keys of the holy Priesthood, then they have a right to all of them. If they hold the keys of Elijah, it gives them the right to administer in all the ordinances of the Priesthood. We enter the Kingdom of God the moment we are baptized. Faith gives us the power to become citizens of the Kingdom. Then you go in order from one step to the other. There is order in the Priesthood. We may have the Priesthood conferred upon us and stop there, but it gives us the right to go on up. We learned of the Sanhedrin and how things are going to come. If you give your whole heart and soul to these things, we could tell you what is going to come. If God orders us to go to jail, He will put us there. If He does not want us there, He will not put us there. There is not a man in that group that was arrested that is not worthy of the blessings that would be in store for him. A newspaper man asked if it would stop this principle if they jailed us. I told him no, it would not stop it. He asked what would become of our wives and children, and I told him that I was not afraid of that; the Lord will take care of them. What would happen to us? Why, the wives and daughters would all go to work and keep going just the same. That would not stop us. God?s work is going on. Whether we keep up with it or not, it will go on just the same. I wonder why they do not go after some of the other groups. Because they know where the Priesthood is and are fighting it. If we are prayerful and humble, God will come out of His hiding place and protect us. President Kimball said that if this people do not keep the commandments of God, their enemies will weep for them. Are we going to be numbered among them? As Brother Fors said, if we will work together and get so we love our neighbor as ourselves, we would be a wonderful people. God has given us a chance, and every one of us has his agency. God has not taken that away yet. I have seen certain individuals in this group arise and come up and up. I know. I know the heart of Brother Joseph. I know he will stand and rise up to the rack. I know the hearts of a good many more men. Their hearts will stand right up to it. I believe that if Brother Joseph knew he was going to be killed the next minute, he would not falter an instant. He does not care about this life. He is working for an exaltation in the Kingdom of God, and he will get it. I can pick out a number of others that are going to keep going and going. There are some of these sisters here, and many of these people in this congregation today will be caught in the air when the time comes; and that is our right and privilege if we are faithful and true. God gives us our agency if we keep His laws. One man told me we do not believe in predestination. Yes, we do! The laws are predestined. They are just the same as they were in the time of Adam, and in the worlds before ours. There are Fathers for many, many worlds above that have taught the same laws that you are being taught here today, and they are going to keep creating worlds. We are a long way down the line in creating worlds and people. The purpose of the laws of God is to bring about the immortality and eternal lives of man. Let us be humble and prayerful. Let us go home and ask the Lord to bless our attorneys and judges in the Supreme Court and otherwise, that they will let the work of the Lord go on. They cannot prevent it, but they can hinder it. I do not mind a good enemy, but I am afraid of our friends. That is what Joseph once said, too. Stories start and grow and grow. (Here he told the story of the crow). Do you not think the same cause always produces the same effect? (Here he spoke of the days of the Savior?s crucifixion.) Let us find out what is right.

Matthew 5 11. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. I do not wish to take up anymore of your time. All I ask you to do is to be humble and prayerful, and find out these things for yourselves. Above all, study the things that will save your soul. God bless you, amen.
