of God No they do not. If Brother Kempton has had his sins
forgiven & remitted without baptism so could all men
but this is false for no man could have forgiveness without

in it when they have not entered the door of baptism dont
go & call the different Denominations because their sins are
not forgiven them that they are always going to dwell in Hell
for if they aere honest they will have a glory greater than
many who carry the Gospel to men their is as good people
among all sects Gentiles Jews & Heathen as their is on Earth

truth he goes into darkness & misery. If the United States were practi-

the practice of right things make men rejoice the practice of Evil
things make sorrow we are agents to do right or wrong if a man
feels disposed to go to Hell he has a right to it is no mans business
He goes on his own responsibility and agency so if he wishes to
Go to Heaven he has a right to by keeping a Celestial law let me

the subject of the Bishops I pause not with a trembling hand
