they were Apostles their power fell
from them. If a man wishes to keep
faithful, he has got to live near unto
the Lord, remember his prayers,
and realize that he is at work for
the Lord and for His Kingdom.

I thank God that you are united
here. I hope you will continue to
be so. Do not quarrel over any-
thing. It makes me sorrowful when
I hear of men holding the Priest-
hood wanting to go to law because
they have not got sufficient water.
This is wrong. It is against the law
of God. When we are united we
have power with God and with each
other. I hope and pray that we
may so live in these valleys of the
mountains that every operation
against us may come to naught, and
it will if we do our duty. I do not
pretend to know how many tribula-
tions or how much suffering we
shall yet have to endure before Zion
is established in her beauty and
glory; but I do know that Zion is
not going to be moved out of her
place. The Lord, however, will
chastise us until we become purified
before Him. He will plead with
His strong ones, and what He has
said concerning Zion will come to
pass. [Doctrine and Covenants 90:36] I hope that we may exercise
wisdom in all things, that we may
escape these afflictions.

Let us try to live our religion and
to do right the few days we have to
spend on the earth. Some of us
have not got a great deal of time to
spend here. We shall soon pass
away. Therefore, let us be united
together and all will be well. Then
when we get through here we may
associate on the other side of the
veil with those that we have asso-
ciated with here on the earth and
with the Patriarchs and Prophets
that have gone before. The bless-
ings of God will attend Zion, and
His judgments will rest upon the
wicked.

I pray God that the union you
have here may increase, and
that our young men will rise up and
magnify their callings before
the Lord, and treasure up wisdom,
knowledge and understanding, and
learn those things that will assist
them in their duties; for, as I said
before, this Kingdom has got to rest
upon the shoulders of the rising
generation of the Latter-day Saints.
This is the destiny to which they
are approaching. I feel thankful
that I have had this privilege of
meeting with you and of listening
to what has been said. I pray God
to bless you, and those who preside
over you, that you may be of one
heart and one mind, and be prepared
to inherit eternal life. Amen.
