If We Keep All the Laws But One, We Are Guilty of the Whole; The Council Members Are Called of God; Resurrected Beings Will Come to Teach Us; The Priesthood Has Power Over the Devil I wondered if we are all seated. I guess we all have seats now. At the present, brothers and sisters, you have got the brethren here. I think the full Council is here, outside of those who are in jail. We expect to have some instruction given today. We will start out by having Brother Guy talk to us. ********** My brothers and sisters, if we got what was said to us today, we ought to rejoice as a people. We are a blessed people. A few of us have been called out. A few of us have had the fullness of the Gospel brought to us. There are only just a few, and how many of you are living to reap the reward of this wonderful blessing that has been given us? It is going to take something on our part. There is just a few, since the days of President Taylor, that have been trusted and have been called out and given the blessings that will enable us to go on to our exaltation. Remember this one thing: Though you keep all the laws, and yet offend in one of them, you are guilty of the whole. In other words, you may keep all the laws of God, and may leave out one of the principles; you may keep plural marriage, and live it pretty strictly, but you reject the United Order?United Order and plural marriage are the high orders of the Priesthood. Whether we keep them, or whether we reject them, it is going to be up to us. I heard the other day a person said to me, ?I believe you and Brother Joseph have the Priesthood, but we have our doubts about the others.? What difference does it make who the man is at the head? The man does not make a bit of difference. When he is placed there, God tells him to set certain men apart. What difference does it make who it is? I am well aware that I am not as good a man as Uncle John Woolley, and Lorin. I have not had the experience yet. But I do know this Gospel is true, and that these brethren here are called of God. I do know that every man that fights it, I do not care who it is, will reject the counsel of God concerning themselves. We will adjourn this meeting until one o?clock. We won?t try to go home at all. We will stay here and talk with one another. If you have luncheons you want to pass around, you can do that. At three o?clock we expect to dismiss then. We will have a Council Meeting at three o?clock, or soon after. I would like every one of you at this time to remember Brother Newel. I would like the brother that dismisses to pray for him, and every one of you to pray for him. He is a man we need, and the adversary knows it; and we can rebuke the adversary, and have Newel be brought again to service in a very short time. God bless you, amen. ********** Afternoon Meeting My brothers and sisters, I was thinking of what Joseph said about guardian angels and certain messengers being here. I know there are messengers here today. President Young told us if we lived right, we would be walking along the street and meet up with a man, talking with him, and after we would say, ?Oh, didn?t our hearts burn within us?? He tells us there that President Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, and Father Smith, and many of them will be resurrected and come among us to teach us these things. Would we tell the world of that? No, because if we did, they wouldn?t believe us, and they would kill us for our testimonies. But they will be here. I expect that Brother Steed?s grandfather or father may come and talk to him. I knew those men. They were men of God. They had received a fullness of the Priesthood as far as plural marriage was concerned. They hadn?t lived the United Order because it was not established, and they couldn?t live it at that time. I was at a meeting one time in Davis County, where Brother Steed?s grandfather got up and spoke in tongues. He had no more than sat down, than Brother Kendson got up and spoke in tongues. He had no more than sat down when Brother Toleman got up and spoke in tongues. They were all Patriarchs. Brother Pace got up and spoke, and each one of the tongues was interpreted. And we were told there that we would see the judgments of God coming over the land, and how we would be tried, and how we should fortify ourselves against these things, and that was by living all the laws and keeping all the commandments. I think we have been together long enough this afternoon, but I want you to remember this one point, if you don?t remember anymore?that whenever we are out of patience, or whenever we do things we hadn?t ought to do, or when we are sick, in pain, it doesn?t come from the Lord. Every one of us are a defier of the law. Why? Because the Edmunds Law is a defier of the law of God. Every Latter-day Saint is a defier of the law. He either defies the laws of God or he defies the law of satan. In our daily lives, if we keep the commandments of God, Lucifer is on our trail. And if we don?t keep the commandments of God, we will lose our chance of exaltation. I want to tell you, sometimes satan is pretty hard to handle. I have had a little to do with him a number of times, and I have, through the Priesthood of God, been the instrument to cast him out of people, and I know he is hard to manage. I do know that the Priesthood of God has power over him. I know that the Priesthood of God has power over other things?over the elements, the people. I do know that these brethren sitting behind me have been called of God, and those that will listen to their counsel will be blessed, and those that don?t will have to take what they get. I have known Brother Joseph for quite a number of years, and I know he is a man of God. I would rather take his counsel than any other man on earth. He has been a very wise counselor to me. He has helped me in every way he could. I don?t think there is a man in the Church today that has preached as much Gospel as Brother Joseph has through the Truth and other pamphlets. Brothers and sisters, if ever we are condemned for anything, it will be for giving the people too much; teaching them too much of the things of God. You might say that seems funny. But you teach a principle to a person, and he rejects it, and then he is condemned through it. Lots of the principles that we have brought out, many men have rejected those truths, and we have seen them go down and down, and they are still going down. May God?s blessings be with you, and I bless you in the authority of the holy Priesthood, that each and every one of you that hear my voice here today may go on and study and learn; and, as Brother Joseph said, ?
