did not believe in any more revelation.
This would be a great mistake. For if
we had before us every revelation which
God ever gave to man; if we had the
; if we had the untrans-
lated plates before us in the English
language; if we had the records of the
Revelator which are sealed up,
and all other revelations, and they were
piled up here a hundred feet high, the
Church and kingdom of God could not
grow, in this or any other age of the
world, without the living oracles of
God.
The Presidency of the Church is com-
posed of three men—the President and
his Counselors; and not only does the
President of the Church need revela-
tion daily, in order to pass through the
labor, the care and the business that
rests upon him, but his Counselors need
it. Every one of the Twelve Apostles
need it in all their administrations
throughout the world; and not only the
Twelve Apostles, but the Seventies, the
High Priests, the Bishops, the Elders
and all who belong to the
or Aaronic Priesthood—all need it in
their administrations in the world. No
man can go forth and lift up his voice and
declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ with-
out revelation. He needs the with him; he needs the Holy
Ghost with him every day of his life. I
do not wish to be misunderstood in this
matter. Every man or woman that has
ever entered into the Church of God
and been baptized for the , has a right to revelation; yes,
women have a right to revelation, a
right to the Spirit of God, to assist
them in their labors, in their administra-
tions to their children, in counseling
their children and those over whom
they are called to preside. The is not restricted to men, nor to
Apostles or Prophets, it belongs to every
faithful man and woman, and to every
child who is old enough to receive the
Gospel of Christ.
I am very much opposed to , either preaching it myself or
having anybody else preach it. I there-
fore wish to make this correction if there
is any need of it. God never had a
Church or a people, in any age of the
world, that were ever governed and con-
trolled except by revelation. The living
oracles of God were among them—those
who held the keys of the Kingdom, and
they had to receive revelation to assist
them in all their work. The , when they go abroad to the
nations of the earth, need the , to tell them to go here, or go
there, that they may search out the
honest in heart. Let us all understand
this, so that we may not be divided in
our views and sentiments.

This would be a great mistake. For if

God ever gave to man; if we had the
Book of ; if we had the untranslated plates before us in the English

The Presidency of the Church is composed of three men -- the President and
his Counselors; and not only does the
President of the Church need revelation daily, in order to pass through the
labor, the care and the business that
rests upon him, but his Counselors need
it. Every one of the Twelve Apostles
need it in all their administrations
throughout the world; and not only the
Twelve Apostles, but the Seventies, the
High Priests, the Bishops, the Elders
and all who belong to the Melchisedec
or Aaronic Priesthood -- all need it in
their administrations in the world. No
man can go forth and lift up his voice and
declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ without revelation. He needs the Holy
Priesthood with him; he needs the Holy
Ghost with him every day of his life. I
do not wish to be misunderstood in this
matter. Every man or woman that has
ever entered into the Church of God
and been baptized for the remission of
sins, has a right to revelation; yes,
women have a right to revelation, a
right to the Spirit of God, to assist
them in their labors, in their administrations to their children, in counseling
their children and those over whom
they are called to preside. The Holy

Apostles or Prophets, it belongs to every

I am very much opposed to false
doctrine, either preaching it myself or
having anybody else preach it. I therefore wish to make this correction if there
is any need of it. God never had a
Church or a people, in any age of the
world, that were ever governed and controlled except by revelation. The living
oracles of God were among them -- those
who held the keys of the Kingdom, and
they had to receive revelation to assist
them in all their work. The Elders of
Israel, when they go abroad to the
nations of the earth, need the Spirit of
God, to tell them to go here, or go
there, that they may search out the
honest in heart. Let us all understand
this, so that we may not be divided in
our views and sentiments.
