I never thought it was right to call up a man and try him because he erred in doctrine, it looks too much like methodism and not like Latter day Saintism. Methodists have creeds which a man must believe or be kicked out of their church. I want the liberty of believing as I please, it feels so good not to be tramelled.

I don't blame anyone for not believing me, if I had not experienced it myself, I would not have believed it myself.

Wherefore a good name is better than riches.

If you will stay with the majority of the Twelve Apostles, and the records of the Church, you will never be led astray.

You will live to see men arise in power in the Church who will seek to put down your friends and the friends of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many will be hoisted because of their money and worldly learning which they seem to be in possession of; and many who are the true followers of our Lord and Savior will be cast down because of their poverty.

Patriotism should be sought for and will be found in right living. No man can be a good Latter-day Saint and not be true to the best interests and general welfare of his country.

When a man works by faith, he works by mental exertion instead of by physical force.
