daughters that are rising up here. This responsibility rests upon them,
and I hope they will fulfill and magnify their calling. There is nothing
like it on earth. You may get the riches of the world; they pass away;
but eternal life, celestial glory, a place with the righteous after resurrec-
tion, with immortal bodies, are worth more than all this world can give.
I have confidence to believe that the Latter-day Saints will carry out these
principles and magnify their calling before the Lord. I have hopes that
our sons and daughters will do the same.
Brethren and sisters, I say, God bless you. I am glad to meet with you.
I rejoice in the Gospel, in the kingdom of God, and in the Holy Priesthood.
I pray God to bless you, to open your eyes to see, and ears to hear, and
your hearts to understand. I pray God to open your understanding, that
you may comprehend the value and blessing of the Gospel that you have
received and of the blessings of these temples and tabernacles in the
midst of which you have the privilege of dwelling and receiving the
ordinances of God. I pray that we may pursue that course that when
we get on the other side of the veil we shall be satisfied with our
record. We will find our history and our record there in the great library
of the celestial kingdom of our God, and we will know what we have been
doing in this life. If we do anything that is wrong we will be sorry for
it. We should repent of wrong and try to do better. I pray that the
Spirit of God may be with us to guide and direct us in our labors until we
get through here, then when we pass away we may be received in the
kingdom of God. We shall rejoice if we do right; for our eyes have not
seen, our ears have not heard, and it has never entered into the hearts of
the children of men the glory that lies before the sons and daughters of
. It is hidden from our eyes to-day, and will never be open to us
until we enter into the presence of God and the Lamb. Amen.
