and gives a New Law and a penalty for not obeying. you may ask who
are you he may not tell you who he is or he may say God sent
me. you may say whare is that God who sent you I dont know or care
any thing about you or what you say. He might say to you I am a god
to you. Moses said to Israel I am a God to you. Joseph said to us
I am a God to you. this was true and upon the same principles I am
a God to this people & so is any man who is appointed to lead Israel or
the Kingdom of God if the people reject him, they reject the one who
sent him but we will let that drop, and turn to the other subjet now
suppose we were all to receive a fullness of the Atributes of God and
According to Orson Pratts Theory The Lord had a fulness and we could
He could not advance but we could advance till we were Equal to him
then if we worshiped the Atributes instead of God we would soon worship
ourselves as soon as we had a fulness of those atributes then you

may say to your wife or son do so & so. they will say I will not but I

I am your counciller Dictator or your God Either would be correct
and they should obey your Just & righteous command yet they should
^not^ worship you for this would be sin. Orson Pratt has differed from
me in many things. But this is a great principle & I do not wish to say
you shall do so and so I do not know of a man who has a mathamat-
ical turn of mind but what goes to Far. The trouble betwen Orson
Pratt & me is I do not know Enough & he knows to much. I do not
know evry thing their is a mystery concerning the God I worship
which mystery will be removed when I come to a full knowledge
of God One of the greatest things Joseph Smith ever did was to
Familiarize Heaven & Earth and cause them to shake hand together
and become Familiar together this was a great principle it is sim-
ple yet true. When I me[e]t the gGod I worship I expect to personage
with whom I have been acquainted, upon the same principle that
I would to meet with my Earthly Father after going upon a
Journey & returning home.
