George Temple I had a son, who was
in the north country, drowned. He
was 21 years of age, and was a faith-
ful young man. He had a warning of
this. In a dream he was notified how
he would die. We had testimony of that
after his death. I asked the Lord why
he was taken from me. The answer to
me was, "You are doing a great deal
for the redemption of your dead; but the
law of redemption requires some of
your own seed in the spirit world to
attend to work connected with this."
That was a new principle to me; but it
satisfied me why he was taken away. I
name this, because there are a great
many instances like it among the Latter
day Saints. This was the case with
Brother Abraham Cannon. He was
taken away to fulfill that mission. And
where we have anything of this kind,
we should leave it in the hands of God
to reconcile.

Let us try as Latter-day Saints to
qualify ourselves to do the will of God
and bear off His kingdom, and be true
and faithful to the end, which may God
grant, for Christ's sake. Amen.
