The spirit that opposes the authority of God
is of the devel. We are acquainted with the
course the devel persues in making trouble
in the church of Christ. Satan is not so
destitute of power as some suppose he
is The Lord & all Heaven have had to wage
war with him & his influence in Eterni
ty, & it is by keeping the Law of God &
giving heed to the officers of his church in
order to overcome. Let not the presidi
ng Elder give up his place to every Elder
that may come along saying stand by
untill I speak for if an Angel of God shou
ld come down from Heaven he would req-
uire the stewardship concerning the lambs
of the flock at the hand of the presiding Elder
