As concerning the resurrection I will merly say that all men will come from the grave as they lie down, whether old or young their will not be added unto ther stature one cubit neither taken from it. All being raised by the power of God having the Spirit of God in their bodies & not blood Children will be enthroned in the presence of God & the Lamb with bodies of the same stature that were on earth. Having been redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb they will there enjoy a fulness of that light Glory & intelligence which is receiv- ed in the Celestial kingdom of God. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they rest from their

I will say sumthing about the Spirits in prision, theire has been much said about the sayings of Jesus on the cross to the thief saying this day thou shalt be with me in paradise. The commentators

June 25, 1843 ~ Sunday 25 June Sunday I attended meeting at 10 clock in the morning & Brother Lyman wight (who had Just returned from a mission in the east) arose & addressed the meeting at full length from the 13 ch of 1st Corinth dwelt largely upon Charity show- ing what Charity was that it was far greater than faith & hope. He took grounds to prove that Charity consisted in doing that for others which they could not do for them- selves for instance Jesus Christ died to Redeem the world, the world could not Redeem itself this is Charity, if our fore fathers & Mothers & kindred have died without the gospel, & we embrace the gospel in our day & generation & can redeem our relatives By being Baptized for them they being dead that they may have part in the first resurrection, should we do this it would be Charity

when you do away with the blood of the savior you do away with all the Gospel & plan of Salvation.

There never was ^never^ any world created & peopled Nor never would be but what would be redeemed by the sheding of the blood of the Savior of that world. If we are Ever Exhalted and crowned in the presence of God we shall become saviors of a world which we shall create & People I know why the Blood of Jesus was shed. I know why the blood of Joseph, & Hiram & others have been shed and the blood of others will be shed it is all to answer a purpose and has its Effect Adam made this world and suffered himself to take a body and subject himself to sin that Redemption & Exaltation might come to man. without descending below all things we cannot asscend above all things.

I tryed to bring mysel[f] to this scene & fancied to mysel[f] how I would feel in Hearing the message of Glad tidings that a savior was born & also in being associated with him in life then the sorrow of his being taken away & crucified then the great Joy in his resurrection & his teachings while in his Immortal body. but when I think of the greater things which are to take place in our day I do not regret that I did not live in that day for there are greater things to come forth than was manifest in that day. For that kingdom of God of which all the prophets have spoken since the world began has now come forth as a preparation for the second coming of Christ not coming to be born in a manger but He will

Again I wish to say to you by children, thatIknow that God lives, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world, and he shed his blood to redeem us from death, and God raised up Joseph Smith as a true pro phet of God, who brought forth the Book of Mormon, and laid the foundation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth with which the Lord is well pleased. And the Church of Christ, and the Zion and Kingdom of God has been organized. It is on the earth for the last time, and this church and Kingdom of God will stand and fill the whole earth and be thrown down no more forever. Now you all hold this Church and Kingdom of God on earth, and I want you all to pursue a course, so as to never be separated from the Church in time or Eternity, and as your father has been called to the apostleship which office I have held near 49 years and have also been called to stand as the President

You have had laid before you, dur- ing this Conference, some things per- taining to the redemption of our dead and some things in regard to the [build-] ing of temples. These, brethren and sisters, are important works. They are works which we do for others that they cannot do for themselves. This is what Jesus Christ did when He laid down His life for our redemption, be- cause we could not redeem ourselves.
