Discourse 1884-06-08
President Wilford Woodruff said Bro Grant
preached upon many principles this morning
that were for our benefit if carried out. In re-
gard to revelation, Joseph Smith was led the
most of his life by revelation. So it is in regard
to the living prophets and apostles. Jesus said
straight is the way that leads to destruction and
narrow is the path that leads to eternal life
and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13 There were
Telestial, terristrial, and celestial conditions
of happiness. Those who earn one reward will
not reap the reward of the other except it be the
greater absorbing the lesser glory. The Celestial
law is unpopular, Gods truths were always so.
He said He called them out of the world, con-
sequently they were not of the world. John 15:19 Gods
truths were never popular, as the fulness of
the Gospel is given to this generation it must
embrace every principle advanced before
time. Joseph Smith received the powers of
the two priesthoods: The keys pertaining to the
uniting of the dead to the living. The keys of
gathering the scattered Israelites from all
nations, and all other keys, knowledge,
power necessary to obtain salvation in
the presence of God and his associates.
