and I am cChrists & Christ is Gods. [1 Corinthians 3:23] It is not known to us whare
the stakes are set to Gods immensity. Take the world at large and
they get to the end of their chain when they get to the mill
pond. It is a startling Idea to think we are worshiping a God
that once was once in the situation that we are in ourselves
they had to pass through a probation of pain, suffering & the fall
like ourselves & He made perfect through sufferings. The Son of
God passed through it & the Father would not require of a son
what He would not do Himself. All our sufferings will exhalt
us in the presence of God if we endure them patiently. A word of
Advice concerning lawing I dont never want to Hear of another
law suit among the Brethren. Is it anything but good common
sense to Never have another suit before a jud[g]e to say nothing
of revelation. It does not require any great perfection to
accomplish this, let men do right do your Neighbour good not
evil. The Lord will burn up the Earth to cleanse it as you would
an old pipe. You think it hard to have to water your land Here
but it is far more healthy than to have rain it was so in Egypt if
it did not rain in Illinois & Moissouri more than Here it would
be far more Healthy this could be reasoned out on Natural
principles. A word more upon Law suits their would not be a Lawsuit
in this valley if all men would do right & were saints but the net has
gathered all kinds good bad & worse let twelve men get drunk
in this community & it ruins the place in the estimation of
of good men we have to bear the character of the drunkard
a few stinking fish in the net defile it. & the whole net stinks
And it creates a prejudice against it. Those who were acq-
uainted with Joseph know that if He delt any in temporal
things it created a prejudice against him. He bought many
goods to help carry on the public works but the people were ready
to get it all away from him. So it is now But I say unto
all men who are Saints put to your hands & help build up Zion
& the Kingdom of God we are scholars in the great school & must
learn we are a kingdom & must bring the kingdom in subjection
to the will of God

with the Brethren I wish to be a doer of the word I feel the import
ance of the remarks of the last speaker Brother Spencer those
who are not ready to meet the Bridegroom will not be invited
to the supper And the time is near. Jesus Christ is an ensam-
ple to all Saints. He was filled with wisdom in his youth but in
his childhood & infancy He was like other children. It has
been said that He was in infancy wise as in manhood but this
is not the case. He was subject to temptation as we are but was
not overcome by it. If we have become acquainted with our follies
let us put them away & apply our hearts unto wisdom. let us have
compassion on others as we wish God to have compassion
on us we should increase in wisdom untill the day of redemption
No person can receive all at once but increase little by little untill
the day of perfection. Apply our Hearts to wisdom & it will produce
peace, Health, wealth & evry good thing. should you see a people
carry out the principles of wisdom peace would be the fruit &
