Brothers and sisters, I attended a very fine Conference Friday with the brethren down in Short Creek. We had a very fine time and the Spirit of God was there in abundance. I want to say to you that a year and a half ago the Lord showed me that this people was going to be in a tight place, and our enemies were all around us, and we could not get away ( as in a corner). No matter what we did we could not get away. I said to the people there, ?If you are humble and prayerful enough you can open that door; there will be a way opened for you. I saw the people were prayerful and humble, and I saw that door open. The very first man I saw on the other side of the door was the Prophet Joseph, who took me by the hand. Now, we are up against it! Have we been prayerful and humble enough? Are we going to be prayerful and humble enough that God will protect us? We know God is able to protect us, but are we going to be like Isaiah said?your iniquities have separated you from your God and yourselves and He will not hear your prayers? When we heard about our young attorney (prosecution), we knew he did not believe in Mormonism. We know that his grandfather held his head high and told him he would not give up these principles. Then his grandson sends us to jail (Roberts). Didn?t He say that their children would reject Him? It is being done by many of the saints?rejecting His commandments. When you refer to the revelations of God, they say, ?We are looking to President Grant for that.? They say President Grant is responsible for them. (Here he told the story of the purse with three or four thousand dollars in it.) Who is the loser? The one who lost the purse. And you will lose your salvation in the same way if you try to put the responsibility on someone else. These laws were given by the Eternal Father for our exaltation, and He said if we do not live them we will be damned. This jail situation does not worry me one bit. Supposing they take our lives! What did the Lord say? ?Though ye be dead, yet shall you live.? I know just as well as I am standing here the Savior is coming. How do I know it? Why, I saw Him come a good many years ago. And when He does come, these men will vanish, these men who are trying to stop us. When He comes there will be three of a field, and two will be taken and one left, etc. Some of the Elders have been out in the mission field and preached the Gospel, healed the sick, cast out devils, etc., but they came back and went to sleep. Heber C. Kimball said, ?Why, you people are a sleeping a sleep of death. When I leave this life some of you will never see my face again.? President Grant?s father preached himself to death trying to save the people, and died under it. Why do they die under these conditions? When they see how we are going it makes them weep. Our fathers on the other side are praying night and day for us and there is a reckoning day coming. First thing you know, the Savior will come. I know that. God will step forth when these people fill up the cup of iniquity. If they put us in jail, we will turn it into a heaven. If God?s Spirit will rest upon us, it will be like Elijah was of old. Many of these things will happen. I want to tell you now, that anything that happens, God will be asked about it. If we petitioned the Lord now, and asked for the judgments to come upon these people now, He would send them. Do I know that this is so? YES! I know what we are preaching to you here is true! And I know this much, that those of you who are rejecting it will see it for your yourselves. You will say, ?No, I am not in it because I rejected it, the words that are taught to me.? Brigham Young tried to redeem the people. See what a merciful God He is. If the people who had gone to sleep would repent and accept the truth, He will forgive you and you can go on. Some of you people here will not keep the commandments of God. We want to clear our skirts. I know one thing, plain and simple. If you reject these things and turn the Priesthood away, the Priesthood will leave and you will not go and advance. These things are true. I want you to remember what I have said today. You will find out that what has been said today are God?s truths. If the Church couldn?t advance forth in the days of Joseph, then today it cannot advance. Instead of the Church being a spiritual organization, it has turned out to be a financial and political organization. We have some very learned men at the head. Jesus said in speaking of them, ?They love to sit in high places, but God knows their hearts.? And that is what He has pled is an abomination in the sight of God. You heard of these eight hundred cases of adultery that were only fined fifty dollars or less, and let out; and yet these faithful men they are sending to jail. Those things that have been going on in the political world are an abomination in the sight of God. We had better quit quarrelling and falsifying, and be prayerful and humble; pray night and day for deliverance. God bless you, amen.
