teaches & leads the people is not filled with truth so as to be Able to
teach the people without quoting the teachings of others altogether is
a Blind guide & will go to Hell with those He leads. It is the intenti-
on of the Lord to teach men principle in progression untill He
shall know all things, that He may arise through faisth power
& victory untill they obtain evry good thing even to arise
to be Gods even the sons of God which Blessing we cannot
obtain without experience we should not sin when we are
tryed & tempted But overcome which will give us glory
honor & Eternal life as fast as I improve upon what I have
more will be given me. The Saviorur was subject to all that we were
from his birth to his death. He applyed his heart unto wisdom
we should do so to apply our hearts unto wisdom from day to
day and you will receive all that He did. If I throughout
all that is in me what faults I have will give place for truth
& that is good I feel to praise the Name of God for all
He has done for me. My heart is like Aminidab continually Helaman 5:35-41
All persons see times when they wish truth to prevail. Mormonism
is all theruth the Lord has raised up a Prophet & Seer who brought
it forth & esstablished it. He was faithful unto death & sealed
his testimony with his Blood. A certain prophecy sayes when
the Book of Mormon shall come unto the Gentiles the Jews shall
be gathered at Jerrusalem. All truth is ours in Heaven Earth
& Hell it is all the truth we want. But does the Church or Elders
want correcting yes for they have Errors & fals Notions the net
has all kinds of fish we have some as cursed rascals among
us as wdwell on the Earth And we find Evil Here as well as any
whare els. Yet Zion is here it is in my heart peace dwells
with me & good principles will prevail Here untill all evil
is overcome even in all the Earth let no man find fault with
his Neighbor untill He is righteous I dont Ask any thing of
others that I wont do myself And never find fault with
another about any thing you allow in yourself dont you
sware, scold, & do wrong yourself then dont find fault
with another for it untill you subdue your own passions
& the evil that is in yourself some will do any thing
to preside over another when they cannot preside over
themselves. Now remember this that we will have Zion
when all wickedness is gone. we have got to fight fight
fight untill we gain the victory over ourselves. Remember this&overcome what is the feelings of my heart it is to Bless
the people & do them good
