The signs of all heaven and earth indicate to us that the end is approaching—that the Son of Man is at our very doors.

Those who have obeyed and served God have always been unpopular with the world, in every age, from the time of Christ Himself. The Lord raised up a Prophet in the nineteenth century. Joseph Smith, the Prophet of God, labored with us for fourteen years after he had orga- nized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints; he established a work which will stand until the coming of the Son of Man.

I would say to the young people of Zion. "The God of heaven has laid upon your shoulders the honor and responsi- bility of bearing off this kingdom in your day and generation. You are called to build up Zion, to manifest your faith, to keep the commandments of God, to ad- minister in the ordinances of the House of God both for the living and the dead. This is the work your fathers have laid upon you. Rise up an magnify your call- ing prepare yourselves for the great work of God Almighty which rests upon you.
