Joseph Smith was to appoint a man. God said
he should not have power, except to app
oint. And that was not to be done, until he
was taken. Joseph done all that God, & he
said he should do. Again, Joseph did
all his part in planting Another. Again,
God & Joseph said, the Successor, should
be ordained, as was Joseph & Oliver.
See 43^rd S, D. &. C.

This was all fulfilled to the letter. In the
call of James J Strang.

In all that have claimed to been, set up,
there has not a man, that has given
a shadow of Law, or logic, (but James)
that they have any claim or ever had.
God rejected Brigham & those that
followed him, & cast them out, & they
became, as heathen men. And they hold
the same relation to God, this day.

All the Temples, Tabernacles, & other
works under Brigham, or those ass-
ociated, Amounts to no more than the
churches or Temples of the Gentiles.

They had no Prophet of God. And surely
surely, The Lord will only work by a
Prophet. Such is my testimony to you.
And better than all that, instead of our
going to Utah & joining that Body, they
all have got to come to God & be baptized
by us, or those who hold Priesthood or
they will go to prison.
