great many opinions but the truth is all will be

2 oclok PM. The House was crouded to excess
O Pratt of the Twelve Apostles Addresed the Assembly
(aft^er^ singing & prayer) He said I address you but not without
many reflections upon my mind It is no small matter
to address such a sea of faces if the Lord does not
pour out his spirit upon me it will not be but a little
benefit for me to speak yet I do feel a great desire
for the Lord to give me his spirit for your sake
that you may be edifyed I feel anxious to receive
principle & the salvation of the living & dead what has
that to do with the living it has much to do with it
it is a truth revealed from Heaven that we are to be
saviors upon Mount Zion to redeem the living & the dead [Obadiah 1:21]
this is the subject that is given to me I am determined to
trust in God who will give any man their portion in
due season the responsibility of preaching this go[s]pel
to all the world & redeem the dead we must live before
the Lord in such a manner that we can have his appro-
bation what says the Book of Mormon upon this subject
those that assist in building up Zion & shall do it by faith
shall have the blessing of the Lord upon them How will we
do it by listening to the council of the priesthood of the
Church & consecrating ourselves before God to his sevrvice
as we were told by President Young we shall then have
the power of the Holy Ghost & what greater gift can we
have than this for this will teach us all things and if
a faithful man is sent abroad to any Nation to preach the
Gospel & is faithful & follows the spirit of truth He will accom
plish his missin in spite of all Earth & Hell. when
Nephi was sent back to get the plates of Brass & his
brethren would not go the Lord told Nephi that He was stro
nger than 10,000 men to go & He would deliver the plates into
his hands He went & done as the Lord told him & got the plates [1 Nephi 4]
look at this people our enemies told us we must go away to
the west & not stay with them untill we were driven into
the Rocky Mountains but the Hand of the Lord was in it
& the Leaders of this people were as much isnspired to
come to this place as the Nephits wer to get the plates
