The Lord looks to no other people than to the Latter-day Saints to perform His work. Hence we must be united in the gospel and in the love of the Lord. For no consideration we should sacrifice our eternal salvation. Our aim is high and glorious and our mission is sublime above all others. If we overcome our weaknesses, we will have power to finish all our temples, to dedicate them, to perform work for the dead in them. We can enter into the glory of God, be face to face with the Heavenly Father, if we keep the covenants. Let us, there- fore, be one; be ready to forgive, let us never think we have so much dignity that we need no instruction or chastisement. Let us be humble and ponder what we are here for. Earth and hell are against us, the world hate us, and this is one of the principal proofs that God is our friend and will fight our battles, if we are faithful to Him and His com- mands.
