revelation, why John Taylor did not
have revelation, why Wilford Woodruff
does not have revelation, why any other
Apostle does not have revelation. I hold
in my hand a book of revelations, enough
to lead this Church into the celestial
kingdom of God. Anybody who will
obey that law will have all the revela-
tion that he can fulfill on the earth. We
are not without revelation. The heavens
are full of it, so is the holy Priesthood.

I know the destiny of this people; it
is revealed by the God of Israel and left
on record. I know the destiny of this
kingdom, and I want to say, let us try to
unite together and fulfill the law of God.
You need not trouble about the king-
dom God has established. He will take
care of it. The same God who has or-
ganized this Zion and gathered one
hundred and fifty thousand people here
from the nations of the earth, has His
eye over you, He is watching over you,
and He will take care of you when you
do your duty. Zion is not going to be
moved out of her place. The Lord will
plead with her strong ones, and if she
sins He will chastise her until she is
purified before the Lord.

I do not pretend to tell how much sor-
row you or I are going to meet with be-
fore the coming of the Son of Man. That
will depend upon our conduct.

With regard to the keys of the King-
kom of God, they were placed on the
earth to remain, and they will remain
until Jesus Christ comes in the clouds of
heaven. But I and other men, the Apos-
tles, and all who are called to officiate in
the name of the Lord need the faith and
prayers of the Latter-day Saints.

By way of closing I will say that Brig-
ham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Wood-
ruff, these Twelve Apostles around me,
and everyone of the Seventies, High
Priests, High Councilors, Presidents of
Stakes, the Melchisedec and all the
Aaronic Priesthood, and all the Latter-
day Saints—all will get what they labor
for. Whatsoever we sow, whether good
or evil, of that we will reap the fruit.

But in the morning of the resurrection
you will find Joseph Smith holding the
keys of this kingdom and dispensation
at the head of all Israel who belong to
this dispensation; he will hold them to
the endless ages of eternity, notwith-
standing that we shall all get our reward
for what we do. The keys of the king-
dom were given to Joseph Smith. They
were placed on the heads of other men
to make use of on earth for a short time;
and when we get through we shall all
have our reward.

Let us make up our minds to serve
and honor God. Do not have any fears
concerning the kingdom; the Lord will
lead that aright; and if Brother Wood-
ruff or any of the Presidency of this
Church should take any course to lead
you astray, the Lord will remove us out
of the way. We are in the hands of the
Lord and those keys will be held and
taken care of by the God of Israel until
He comes whose right it is to reign.

God bless you all. Amen.

-[At the evening session President
Woodruff made the following additional
remarks:]-

Before dismissing this assembly I feel
it my duty to say a few words. I ad-
dressed the Saints a short time this
afternoon upon a certain subject, and
that was in bearing my testimony to the
keys of the kingdom of God, which the
Lord gave to Joseph Smith, and the
retaining of those keys upon the earth
through their bestowal upon the heads
of the Apostles. I did not pretend to
dwell upon the organization of the
Priesthood or of the Church in these
remarks. My only object was to bear
my testimony upon that subject. After
the meeting I began to reflect, from re-
marks which I made, that perhaps many
of the people might get an entirely
wrong idea of my views with regard to
the kingom of God. I referred to the
Doctrine and Covenants—a code of re-
velations which the Lord gave to Joseph
Smith. This book contains some of the
most glorious revelations upon doctrine,
upon principle, upon government, upon
the kingdom of God and the different
glories, and upon a great many things
which reach into the eternal worlds.
My leaving this subject there, perhaps,
might lead my friends to suppose that I
