and the dead. Tens of thousands have
been redeemed in the spirit world by
their posterity who stand in the flesh
and hold the keys of the salvation of
their dead. Saviors upon Mount Zion
have been raised up, while the kingdom
is the Lord's, as the Prophet Obadiah
said they would be. This people are
doing this work now. The Lord is with
you, and your progenitors in the spirit
world rejoice. Let us be faithful, there-
fore, while we are here. God has ap-
pointed us to bear this Priesthood. Out
of the fourteen hundred millions of
people on the earth the Lord has chosen
this handful of men to bear this; to or-
dain, to organize, to warn the world, to
preach the Gospel to them. I hope my
brethren that bear this Priesthood will
remember the value of it. I want to
read a few more paragraphs from this
same revelation, and then I will close:

For there is a time appointed for every man,
according as his works shall be. [##Doctrine and Covenants 121:25##]

God shall give unto you (the Saints) knowl-
edge by his Holy Spirit, yea by the unspeak-
able gift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been
revealed since the world was until now;

Which our forefathers have waited with
anxious expectation to be revealed in the last
times, which their minds were pointed to, by
the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of
their glory:

A time to come in the which nothing shall be
withheld, whether there be one God or many
Gods, they shall be manifest;

All thrones and dominions, principalities and
powers, shall be revealed and set forth upon all
who have endured valiantly for the gospel of
Jesus Christ.

And also if there be bounds set to the heavens,
or to the seas; or to the dry land, or to the sun,
moon, or stars;

All the times of their revolutions; all the
appointed days, months, and years, and all the
days of their days, months, and years, and all
their glories, laws, and set times, shall be re-
vealed, in the days of the dispensation of the
fulness of times,

According to that which was ordained in the
midst of the Council of the Eternal God of all
other Gods, before this world was, that should
be reserved unto the finishing and the end
thereof, when every man shall enter into his
eternal presence, and into his immortal rest. [##Doctrine and Covenants 121:26-32##]

There are things in that revelation that
are marvelous and wonderful. All
thrones and dominions, principalities
and powers, shall be revealed to the
Saints of God in the own set time of the
Lord. Today we are in this little world,
surrounded with a great many planets
that are at present unknown to us. We
scarcely know what is on this world.
We know less about Mars, or Venus, or
Jupiter, or these worlds that are neigh-
bors to us. But here we are given to
understand that all these worlds will be
revealed. A man's mind must become
immortal, and must stretch as wide as
eternity and be filled with the glory of
God, to ever comprehend these great
blessings which are promised unto His
people. Therefore, let us be true and
faithful. Do not let us lose our hold on
the Priesthood, nor upon the kingdom
of God. Let us go in secret prayer be-
fore the Lord and call upon His holy
name. There is where our strength lies.
I pray that God's blessings may rest up-
on all of us. We shall all find our re-
cord in the great library of heaven; and
I hope we may so live that when we
come to meet that record we will be
satisfied with it. I pray God to bless
President Smoot, his counselors, and
those who bear the Priesthood here, as
well as our brethren and sisters, unto
the end that we may inherit eternal life,
for Jesus' sake. Amen.
