There never was ^never^ any world created & peopled Nor never would be but what would be redeemed by the sheding of the blood of the Savior of that world.

I know why the blood of Joseph, & Hiram & others have been shed and the blood of others will be shed it is all to answer a purpose and has its Effect Adam made this world and suffered himself to take a body and subject himself to sin that Redemption & Exaltation might come to man. without descending below all things we cannot asscend above all things.

Again con[cer]ning Revelation I Believe it to be the privilege of Evry Apostle & Elder who bears any portion of the Holy Priesthood to have the Holy Ghost & Revelation to guide them in all things. But I do not Believe that the Lord will Reveal to any man a New Principle, doctrin or Law, to govern the Chu[r]ch & kingdom of God on the Earth Except through the Mouth of the Prophet, Seer, Revelator President & Law given unto the Church, this is his place & position to receive the word of the Lord & give it unto the people. There are some keys [FIGURE] which the Prophet Joseph held which No other man held while he lived. & there are some which President Brigham Young holds which No other Man holds the keys of the sealing power for instance But he permits other Apostles to administer in this ordinance

The good often suffer as well as the wicked we suffer in the Flesh but when we die & the spirit leaves the Body The Devil & Evil has No more power over us When the spirits of the righteous Enter the spirit world they are Beyond the power of the Devil.

I wish to live untill I can see Zion redeemed & the centre stake built up & the saints of God sanctified Before the Lord. The people think if they were sealed up in the things of God they would loose sight of all Earthly things but this is not the case. If we can understand this to know the things of God & his ways would be to know how to till the Earth & to Manufacture all we want. There is no such thing as a kingdom without law. There is a Law that Governs & controlls all things. They controll the Elements to bring them together to supply us with Evry thing we need there is a system & Law to Evry Branch of knowledge, and if we ownly understood it we should know how to do any thing right that perfect system we should understand and carry out we have this system in spiritual things so must we become in temporal things

He then read the word of wisdom & said this people never saw the day that they were willing for God to rule over us in all things there is not one in a thousand willing for it.

the Lord takes care of those who take care of themselves there is not the pain taken here that there ought to be if we do what we can the Lord will do the rest if I go & preach to the people I do my duty then the people must obey for themselves. I will not do it Neither will the Angels come & do your work for you But you have got to do for yourselves. The Lord will not come & raise your Bread you must raise it yourselves I say to you to stop dealing with the wicked. Stop swearing & drinking treat your Animals kindly God does not give you Animals or wives & children to abuse we shall be held Responsible for all we do.

Even A man Holding the office of a deacon may magnify that calling so that he would be more worthy & have a higher Exaltation than many High Priest it is not so much the office a Man Holds as it is of the magnifying of that portion of the office He does hold.

Some ordinances cannot Be given without A temple All children Born Before Parents are sealed to the Altar will have to be sealed to their Parents in order to make them Legal heirs those who are Born after the parents are sealed are legal heirs. Man also will have to be sealed to Man untill the chain is united from Father Adam down to the last saint this will be the work of the Millennium & Joseph Smith will be the Man to attend to it or to dictate it He will not administer in person But He will receive his resurrected Body & will dictate to those who dwell in the flesh & tell what is to be done for He is the Last Prophet who is called to lay the foundation of the great Last dispensation of the fullness of times

Wickedness is increasing throughout this whole Nation & Exhertions are making to try to destroy the kingdom of God. The Nations of the Earth are becoming more & more fearful of the signs of the times & of the future Events which await them. We have had peace in these vallies since we came here as pioneers in 1847 with the Exception of the Buchannan war which cost the Nation $40,000000 dollars & cost us 40 miles travel & Back again we have also had some Indians wars which has cost some lives & considerable property. The wicked of this Nation are determined if possible to destroy & scatter the saints during the year 1870 But the Saints are in the Hands of God as they Ever have Been, & God will defend them & fight their Battles if they will ownly be faithful & trust in him. 1870 will be an Eventful year in many respects. In fact Every year is Eventful now in this fast age God has set his hand to Esstablish Zion & his Kingdom & he will accomplish in spite of Earth & Hell, wicked men & devils He will overthrow the wicked the, scorners, the Hipocritt, & unbelievers & save his Saints

~ Wilford Woodruff
I closed my remarks By saying that God commanded Daniel the Prophet to Pray & He Prayed three times a day with his windows Hoisted & his Enemies said if He did pray & make any petition to any God or king for 3 days He should be cast into the den of Lions But He did pray, his enemies cast him into the den of Lions & his God Delivered him. The three Hebrews were told if they did not fall down & worship the Golden Image of Nebechudnezzar that they should be cast into the Firyey furnisace &But they worshiped God & would not worship the Image & they were cast into the firey Furnisace But the form of the Fourth was with them & they were saved. Now in our day, God has revealed unto us the Patriarchal order of Marriage & has said if we do not obey it we shall be damned. Congress has said if do obey it we shall be damned now tiwhich shall we obey God or Congress, for it is God & Congress for it The assembly shouted as By acclimation we will obey God.

O, God, our Eternal Father we have assembled on this occasion to celebrate one of the greatest & grandest Events of the generation in which we live, and we offer up the gratitude of our hearts with thanksgiving for thy merciful & protecting care that has been over us when we were led into these vallies By thy servant servant Brigham Young, twenty two years ago, we found them a perfec desert inhabited ownly by wild beast & a few red men who roamed over the plains.

We should be recreant to our duty did we not acknowledge the hand of thee our God in thy protecting care that has been over us

there was one subject I wished to speak upon & that was writing & keeping a Journal of the dealings of God with us I have many times thought the Quorum of the Twelve & others considered me rather enthu- siastic upon this subject But when the Prophet Joseph organized the Quorum of the Twelve he Commanded them to write & keep a Journal or History of their lives & gave his reasons why they should do it I think the Twelve Apostles & all the Elders of Israel who bear the Holy Priesthood should keep a Journal of their official acts & the dealings of God with them I would be glad to read the Acts of My forefathers if they had never herd of a God But esspecially when men are called to stand at the head of a Great dispensation like this & to build up the kingdom of God on the Earth to remain forever, they of all men on Earth ought to write & keep a true & correct History of the rise & progress of that Kingdom, of the Revelations of Jesus Christ & his dealings with us as we travel
