leave events in the hands of God,
and He will take care of us if we do
our duty.
I pray God that He will bless these
Apostles, Prophets and Patriarchs,
these Seventies, High Priests and
Elders of Israel, and these Latter-
day Saints, who have entered into
covenant with our God. You have
a great future before you. You have
kept the commandments of God, so
far as you have had the opportunity,
and by receiving the Gospel of
Christ and being faithful
your reward is before you.
Your history is written and is be-
fore you. I will say that this nation,
and all nations, together with presi-
dents, kings, emperors, judges, and
all men, righteous and wicked, have
got to go into the spirit world
and stand before the bar of God.
They have got to give an account of
the deeds done in the body. There-
fore, we are safe as long as we do
our duty. No matter what trials or
tribulations we may be called to
pass through, the hand of God will
be with us and will sustain us. I
ask my Heavenly Father to pour
out His Spirit upon me, as His
servant, that in my advanced age,
and during the few days I have to
spend here in the flesh, I may be
led by inspiration of the Al-
mighty. I say to Israel, the Lord
will never permit me nor any other
man who stands as the President of
this Church, to lead you astray.
It is not in the programme. It is
not in the mind of God. If I were
to attempt that, the Lord would
remove me out of my place, and so
He will any other man who at-
tempts to lead the children of men
astray from the oracles of God and
from their duty. [Doctrine & Covenants OD 1:10] God bless you.
Amen.
