but we have learned that the being which inhabits this Tabernacle
will live forever and not die. we have to lay our tabernacles
in the dust but they will again be resurrected with an immor-
tal body for Jesus Christ through his death and sufferings
restored unto all the children of men the privilege of the resurrec-
tion of their bodies, and if we keep a celestial lay [law] we shall
have a celestial resurrection but all the righteous & the wicked
will have their bodies again. we cannot imagin the greatness
of the glory of the saint of God after the resurrection. Notwithstanding
all that our bodies suffer in this life in pain sorrow & distress
the want of food &c still we cling to them and do not wish to
give them up. we do not realize the great difference there is in
being in this world or probation & the next all the knowledge we
formerly had was taken from us when our spirits took these
bodies some think we never did exist till we came here because
we cannot remember any thing neither can we remember any
thing of the first year or two of our existance yet our spirits
remained in our bodies as much as they do now but as soon as
our spirits leave these imperfect tabernacles or rather bodies
cloged with mortality & evil our spirits will be in lively reco-
llection of evry thing that took place with us before we came
here and all things appertaining to us since we came in this
world. It is right for us to take proper care of our bodies and
do right & when we have done that we should leave all in the
hands of God and not be over anxious for our lives for if we are
faithful I expect we shall be raised in the morning of the first
resurrection. And if we expected to be crowned Kings and
Priests & sit upon thrones we want experience in this world and
the next in order to be prepared for thes things. If we were
to be judged by the knowledge we once had before we came
here it would not be right, for we have to be judged according
to the light we have and if we break the Law of God after having
received great light and knowled[ge], our condemnation would
be accordingly. when the righteos come forth with their resur-
rected bodies, they will have great Joy in the remembrance
of their faithful deeds while the wicked will have great
sorrow in the rememberence of their wicked deeds, & the persecu-
tion of the Saints, their sorrow will be increased a thou-
sand fold while the Joy of the Saints will be a thousand fold
It has been thought by some that when the spirit leaves the
body that will never be called upon to labour either befor or
after the resurrection, but I believe that all the children of
God will be called to perfore duties through all Eternity as
great as they are capable of performing, that they may
continue to receive the blessings of their Father in heaven
Those who lived and died before the coming of Christ who were
faithful received their resurrected Bodies after Christ arose
and if you are faithful you will also have your resurrected
bodies at the second coming of Christ and when we
come to meet with them we can then tell our labours &
toils over together, each in their generation, and if they
had persecution so have we, and if they were driven from
their homes & had perils for Christ sake so have [we] and we
can be mutual in our communication together
