Myself, for I take whom I will take and preserve
in life them whom I will preserve according to
the council of my own will. And while my
servant John Taylor is your President I wish to
ask the rest of my servants of the Apostles the
Question Although you have one to Preside over
your Quorum and over the Church which is the order
of God in all Generations. Do you not all of you hold
the Apostleship which is the Highest Authority ever given
to man on Earth? You do. Therefore you hold in
commothen the keys of the Kingdom of God in all the world
you each of you have power to unlock the Veil of
Eternity and hold convers[ation] with God the Father and
his Son Jesus Christ, and to have the Administration
of Angels. It is your right privailege & duty to inquire
of the Lord his mind & will concerning yourselves the inhab-
itants of Zion and their interest And whenever any
one of you receive the word of the Lord Let it be written and
presented in your councils and whatever by a united consent
you deem wisdom to be presented unto the people let it be presented
by the President my servant John Taylor as the word of the Lord, in
this way you will uphold him & strengthen his hands as all the
burthen [burden] should not rest upon one man. For thus saith the Lord
All of mine Apostles should be full of the Holy Ghost of Inspiration and
Revelation and know the mind & will of God and be prepared for that which
is to come Therefore let mine Apostles keep my commandments and obey my
laws And the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against you Fear not for lo I am with
you intill I come I come quickly Even so Amen.
