city

May 3, 1846 ~ Sunday

^[FIGURE]^ 3rd May Sunday the Saints began to
gather at the Temple at an early hour And
by ten oclock the House was filled to a great
extent. My wife, Father, Mother, cousin &
others took A seat in front of the Melchez
idec Priesthood I occupied the uper stand
in company with Br Hyde & Stratton. After
singing Elder J A Stratton opened the meet-
ing by Prayer. After which Elder Orson
Hyde Arose And Addressed the Assembly from
the following words. "what is man that thou
art mindful of him or the sun of man that
thou visits hism" [Hebrews 2:6] My object says the speaker
is to inquire what kind of A being man is.
Man is As Eternal as God himself And is
Just As much in Eternity now as he ever will
be after Death, the period called time is
ownly one portion of Eternity the same as
the outer wall of A building incloses many
rooms within or As the months Days, Hours
minutes or seconds in a year while in any portion
of them we are in the year still, while we exhist
before the world was, or in the flesh or after
Death, it is all in eternity. The world opposes
the principle of revelation And does not
wish man to obtain knowledge in that way, but
what Earthly Father that feels interested in
the welfare of his children but what desires
to teach his children & reveal to them
the knowledge He possesses And would
feel interested in there Advancement
so with the Lord He gives gifts & knowledge
