The Nearer A Person Approaches The Lord,

The Heads (plural) Of The Gods Appointed One God For Us; And When You Take That View Of The Subject, It Sets One Free To See All The Beauty, Holiness And Perfection Of The Gods.

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.

To Get Salvation We Must Not Only Do Some Things, But Everything Which God Has Commanded...the Object With Me Is To Obey And Teach Others To Obey God In Just What He Tells Us To Do. It Mattereth Not Whether The Principle Is Popular Or Unpopular; I Will Always Maintain A True Principle Even If I Stand Alone In It.

I Had Not Been Married Scarcely Five Minutes, And Made One Proclamation Of The Gospel, Before It Was Reported That I Had Seven Wives.... I Am Innocent Of All These Charges.... What A Thing It Is For A Man To Be Accused Of Committing Adultery, And Having Seven Wives, When I Can Only Find One. I Am The Same Man, And As Innocent As I Was Fourteen Years Ago; And I Can Prove Them All Perjurers.

This Society Is Not Only To Relieve The Poor, But To Save Souls.
