March 20^th Sunday. Sermon of Joseph the Seer

A large assembly of Saints gather together at
an early hour to hear a discours deliverd upon the
subject of Baptism by Joseph the Seer, but ats a
young child was dead & his bcorpes presented in the
assembly it called forth many remarks from JThe
speaker upon death & the resurrection which were
in the highest degree interesting & his remarks
upon Baptism was truly glorious to the believer
in Jesus Christ. The following is a brief synopsis
of some of the items presented in the discours

The speaker read the 14 ch Revelations. And sayes
"we have again the warning voice sounded in our midst
which shows the uncertainty of human life. And
in my leasure moments I have meditated upon the
subject, & asked the question Why is it that, infants
innocent children are taken away from us, esspeci-
ally those that seem to be most intelligent beings"
Answer "This world is a vary wicked world &
it is a proverdb that the world grow weaker &
wiser, but if it is the case the world grows more wicke[d]
& corrupt. In the early ages of the world A rich-
eous man & a man of God & intelligence had a better
chance to do good to be received & believed that [than] at
the present day, but in thiese days such a man is
much opposed & persecuted by most of the inh-
abitants of the earth & he has much sorrow to pass
through, hence the Lord takes many away even in
infancy that they may escape the envy of man,
the sorrows & evils of this present world & they were
two pure & to lovly to live on Earth. Therefore if
rightly considerd we have, instead of morning we
have reason to rejoice, as they are deliverd from evil
& we shall soon have them again. What chance
is their for infidelity when we are parting with
our friends almost daily none at all. The
infidel will grasp at evry straw for help untill
death stares him in the face & then his infidelity
