November 21, 1852 ~ Sunday

21^st Sunday P P Pratt Preached on the Everlasting
covenant made to Abraham the law was done away
in Christ But the promises of Abraham remained [Galatians 3:13-14]
and all the prohphesies of the prophets are to be fulfilled
the Jews gathered & all Israel with their wives & children
would come from the East west North & South & sit down
with Abraham Isaac & Jacob in the kingdom of God. the
speaker then asked the question who are the people to
build up the kingdom of God in the last days preparitory
to the coming of Christ whose laws rules & regulations
are agreable to the Blessings and order of the Ancient patriar-
chs He called up the different sects & kingdom & govermts
& compared them to se who was in a situation to receive

[the promises] made to Abraham He brought up the Catholics & showed
they were not the ones for their Priesthood had not the
privilege of either wives or children and the greates
Blessing to Abraham consisted in his seed & posterity
It could not be the protestants they did allow one wife
to be sure but no more so when they come to the kingdom
of God and find Abram Isaac & Jacob there with their
many wives concubines & children there they the protistant
Christian Nations if they had power would cast out those
patriarchs out of the kingdom for having more wives than one
& concubines & many children & for having the Names of which
they would call their Bastard children written on the Gates of
of the New Jerrusalem they would point the finger of scorn
at these things so they would not agree. But when we come to
the Latter Day Saints we find them the ownly people on Earth
that suit the case exactly in evry respect and they are the
the kingdom of God & hold the keys of that kingdom & they
fell disposed to honor & respect their Father Abraham & their
children & desire to render unto Israel all that belongs unto them
He was followed By O Hyde & W. Woodruff who bore testimony
to the same subject & expressed their feelings plainly
