to his children, and the more intelligence
men get the more refined are there feelings
the knowledge is great & so was his sympathy
in giving his Son Jesus Christ to save man
The world may oppose revelation but God does
not. we have recieved revelation & visions
& God hath shown us many things it is true
these blessings have cost us great sacrafizes
we have been oppressed all the day long And at
last are now driven to the wilderness, but
we will go & not stay with the world, And
when we go we remove the candle light
from there midst And take it to the sons
of Nature who have not shed the blood of
Prophets. I will leave my testimony with
you, though it should be like A Harpoon.
As respects the finishing of this House I will ask
why have we laboured to complete it when
we were not expecting to stay. there is two
sides to every thing but Mormonism as to that
there is but one side on earth the other is in
Heaven. If we moved forward & finished
this House we should be recieved a& accepted
as A church with our dead but if not we
should be rejected with our dead. these things
have inspired And stimulated us to Action
in the finishing of it which through the
blessing of God we have been enabled to
accomplish And prepared it for dedication
In doing this we have ownly been saved as
it were by the skin of our teeth. The enemy
Prophesyed we should not get the roof on
but we have finished it And on Thursday
night we met in this temple Arayed in our
white robes & dedicated it unto God And truly
