the Earth & we have got to begin by sanctifying our own
hearts first & then spread out. How many of the children
of this people are Entitled to the Holy Priesthood & the Blessings
of Abraham all who are born after their parents have received
their Endowments & are sealed & all others will have to be adopted
to their parents. All who want the Blessings of Abram
Isaac & Jacob go & get your Endowments before you get
married. then all your children will be heirs to the
priesthood. their is no son has a right to the Priesthood
& heirship unless their parents had their Endowments
before they were born such must be adopted to their
Parents or they have no right to the heirship. Let no youth
get married untill they get their Endowments & get sealed
at the Altar. If young men knew what was for their
good they would go hundreds of miles to get married
right before they would do as many have. Our boys who
are guided by a right hand will be mighty men ^of God^ in the
Earth. The Lord instituted Polygamy to raise up a royal
Priesthood a kingdom of Priest, it is an institution of heaven
all the blessings that are sealed upon us will do us no good unless
we live for them {Remember son Wilford} The Lord has in store for his children
Every good thing the heart can desire in righteousness. The
Celestial kingdom will be on this Earth to us when we are
celestial with the Earth. The Earth when it fell went Millions
of miles from the presence of God & when it returns back it will
go millions of miles from its present position to whare it came
from. Whare is the Mechanic that has knowlede Enough to lay
the first cornor stone of the New Gerrusalem {God might reveal this to someone}
Ancient Israel the seed of Abraham was not found worthy
to keep the Melchezedeck Priesthood, what then is to be done.
The Lord said I will in the Last days raise up a generation of
Men, a royal Priesthood who would come forth to redeem the death
of Israel as well as the Liveing. This is our work ye latter Day
Saints. Then rise up ye Latter Day Saints of God & do the work
of God required at your. The Lord Acknowledged Ancient Israel
because they were the best there was, but there was not light Enough
