Unless We Members Of The Church Do

It Is Said That Brother Joseph In His Lifetime Declared That The Elders Of This Church Should Step Forth At A Particular Time When The Constitution Should Be In Danger, And Rescue It, And Save It. This May Be So; But I Do Not Recollect That He Said Exactly So. I Believe He [joseph] Said Something Like This - That The Time Would Come When The Constitution And The Country Would Be In Danger Of An Overthrow; And Said He, If The Constitution Be Saved At All, It Will Be By The Elders Of This Church. I Believe This Is About The Language, As Nearly As I Can Recollect It.

Whatever Happens, The Lord Is In It.

The Lord Gave Us Power In Proportion To The Work To Be Done, And Strength According To The Race Set Before Us, And Grace And Help As Our Needs Required.

The Constitution Of Our Country [was] Formed By The Fathers Of Liberty... Exalt The Standard Of Democracy! Down With That Of Priestcraft, And Let All The People Say Amen! That The Blood Of Our Fathers May Not Cry From The Ground Against Us. Sacred Is The Memory Of That Blood Which Bought For Us Our Liberty.

When Did I Ever Teach Anything Wrong From This Stand? When Was I Ever Confounded? I Want To Triumph In Israel Before I Depart Hence And Am No More Seen. I Never Told You I Was Perfect; But There Is No Error In The Revelations Which I Have Taught. Must I, Then, Be Thrown Away As A Thing Of Naught?
