He exhorted the Sisters always to concentrate
their faith and prayers for, & place confidence in those
whom God has appointed to honor, whom God has
placed at the head to lead that we should arm them
with our prayers, that the keys of the kindgdom are
about to be given to them that they may be able to de-
tect every thing false, as well as to the Elders.

He said if one member becomes corrupt & you
know it; you must immediately put it away. The
Sympathies of the heads of the church have induced them
to bear with those that were corrupt; in consequence
of which all become contaminated, you must put down
iniquity & by your good example provoke the Elders
to good works, if you do right no danger of going too fast;
he said he did not care how fast we run in the path
of virtue, resist evil & there is no danger, God, men, angels,
& devils, cant condemn those that resist every thing
that is evil—as well might the devil seek to disthrone
Jehovah as that soul that resists every thing that
is evil.

The charitable Society, this is according to your
natures, it is natural for females to have feelings of charity
you are now placed in a situation where you can act
according to those sympathies which gGod has planted
in your bosoms.

If you live up to these principles how great &
glorious! if you live up to your privilege, the angels
cannot be restrained from being your associates—
females if they are pure & innocent can come into
the presence of God, for what is more pleasing to God
than innocence. you must be innocent or you can
not come up before God. if we would come before
God let us be pure ourselves. The devil has great
power, he will so transform things as to make one
gape at those who are doing the will of God.
you need not be teazing men for their deeds, but
let the weight of innocence be felt, which is more
mighty than a mill stone hung about the neck.
Not war, not jangle, not contradiction, but meek-
ness, love, purity, these are the things that should
magnify us. Achan must be brought [Joshua 7:19-26]
