come. They do not believe in Jesus
of Nazareth now, nor ever will until
he comes and sets his foot on
Mount Olivet and it cleaves in twain,
one part going towards the east, and
the other towards the west. Then,
when they behold the wounds in his
hands and in his feet, they will say,
"Where did you get them?" And
he will reply, "I am Jesus of Naza-
reth, King of the Jews, your Shiloh,
him whom you crucified." [Doctrine and Covenants 45:48-52] Then, for
the first time will the eyes of Judah
be opened. They will remain in un-
belief until that day. This is one of
the events that will transpire in the
latter day.

The Gospel of Christ has to go to
the Gentiles until the Lord says
"enough," until their times are ful-
filled, and it will be in this generation.
Forty years have passed since the
revelation I have read was given to
the sons of men. We are living in
a late age, although it is true there
are a great many vast and important
events to transpire in these days.
But one thing is certain, though the
Lord has not revealed the day nor
the hour wherein the Son of Man
shall come, [Matthew 25:13] he has pointed out the
generation, and the signs predicted as
the fore-runners of that great event
have begun to appear in the heavens
and on the earth, and they will
continue until all is consummated.
If we, as Latter-day Saints, want
anything to stir us up, let us read
the Bible, Book of Mormon and the
Book of Doctrine and Covenants,
they contain enough to edify and
instruct us in the things of God.
Treasure up the revelations of God
and the Gospel of Christ contained
therein.

As an individual, I will say that
I feel a great responsibility resting
upon me, and it also rests upon you.
Joseph Smith and Brigham Young
alone have not been called to build
up in the latter day that great and
mighty kingdom of God which Dan-
iel foretold, and which he said
should be thrown down no more
for ever. [Daniel 7:13-14] I say, they were not called
to be the only ones to labor in
building up that great and glorious
Zion, which was to become terrible
to all nations; nor their counselors,
nor the Twelve Apostles; but this
responsibility rests upon every one
of the Lord's anointed upon the face
of the earth, I do not care who they
are, whether male or female, and
the Lord will require this at the
hands of all the Latter-day Saints.
I therefore desire that we may be
awake to these subjects, and to the
position we occupy before God and in
the world.

The inhabitants of the earth may
hate and oppose us, as they did
Jesus Christ, and as they have all
inspired men, as they did Noah,
Enoch, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
Isaiah, Jeremiah, and all the pro-
phets who ever lived. They have
always been a thorn in the flesh to
the world. Why? Because they
had enough independence of mind
to rebuke sin, to maintain the
promises of God unto man, and to
proclaim the declarations of the Al-
mighty unto the inhabitants of the
earth, fearless of consequences. The
last song sung here was, "Do what
is right, let the consequence fol-
low." That is what I say to the
Latter-day Saints. Let us do what
is right, maintain our religion be-
fore God, be valiant in the testimony
of Jesus Christ, and prepare our-
selves for his coming, for it is near,
and this is what God requires at our
hands. He leans upon no other
people; he expects from no people
but those who have obeyed his Gos-
pel and gathered here, the accom-
plishment of his great work, the
building up of his latter-day Zion
