the Lord. "I read in the Revelations of God, that the man who receives these Priesthoods, Aaronic and Melchisedec, and will honor them and abide by the law appertaining thereto [Doctrine and Covenants 84:40], that Jesus said "all that my Father hath shall be given unto him [Doctrine and Covenants 84:38]. This law compre- hends, among other things, the Law of Plural Marriage, which I regard as one of the highest Keys given to man." "The first time I heard the Prophet Joseph Smith was forty seven years ago last April. He then bore testimony that the Priesthood had been placed on the Earth to be no more taken from it forever.
