B Young Jr Prayed President Young spoke 38 M[inutes] He said If I
was to ask how many there are here today who was in Jackson
Co I think there would be but few, or in Kirtland or far west
but few I contrast the groth of this people with these days
In the days of Joseph it was a hard Matter to get the people
to believe in Revelation. But I told the people the day would come
when the world would be flooded with Revelation, but from
the devil. This began by a woman being put to sleep & gave
Revelation. Spiritualism began in this way all their Revel-
ations go to deny Jesus Christ, the gospel & the Atonement
There are a few thousands who do know that God lives I
with this people know it & are witnesses of it, & there never
was a people as much blessed as this people on Earth
We have the privilege of Attending to the ordinances of the House of
God for the dead, did the Zion of Enoch Or Adam, Abram
Isaac, or Jacob, or the Twelve Apostles in the days of Christ
No they did not. But we are the people that are called
to do this work. What other people have been called to do this
work I do not know of any, if this is our work what state
of Mind are we in, are we after the world & the things of the
world this should not be. those who have turned away from
their callings & seek for the things of the world will turn
away from the Church & Apostitize. The world are com-
bined against & seek our destruction. they do not see the
things of God, but we do, this is the difference between them and
us. We know the things of God, but they do not, it is our duty
to gather the poor & build up Zion, while they seek to destroy
us. God will save all the Inhabitants of the Earth in some kingdom
except the Sons of perdition. We are called to do that that
No other people were Ever called to do. We are called to
keep the Celestial Law of God upon Mount Zion All
the Merchants who have got riches among us I cannot controll
them, & if they do not repent they will be damned & go
to Hell. Can you not see your position that you are called
to Redeem the dead. In the days of Joseph He felt vary
Bad to see a Man Apostitize But now I feel if a man
