If you will read the last chapter in the Book of Mormon, you shall there see the last testi-
mony of as follows: "And wo unto them who shall do these things away and die,
for they die in their sins, and they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God; and I speak
it according to the words of Christ, and I lie not." [Moroni 10:26] He also says that he will meet all that has
or will do any such an evil deed at the bar of God, and then He (God) will ask you if
He did not warn you through this man (Moroni) against such a wicked deed. The Saints
had sacrifised all earthly pleasures, leaveing their homes and relations and endureing
insults, dishonor, and persecution, for the sake of secureing the favor and gifts of the Eternal

comfort, and consolation, that enabled them to endure all their aflictions, and tribulation,
even the grandest and greatest gifts of God to man, that they relied on in life, or in death,
in time, or in eternity, even the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Where was that love and sym-
pathy that you should have for your brothers and sisters, when you caused them
to stop useing the gifts of the Gospel of Christ? The greatest comfort they had in the
world was taken from them at that time, the gifts that enabled them to commune
with the Great Father and Son, through the Holy Ghost, the saints was hindered
from useing. What right do you suppose you had to change the sacred and eternal
order of the house or Church of God? Even stopping the gifts of the Spirit of God,
the only means of salvation given through our Savior to mankind. How many
hearts do you think you have caused to be broken, by trying to comply with your
order of things? Thousands of innocent, harmless, and good people, has come to
these mountains, for the purpose of doing God's will, and to gain a greater portion
