Could you gaze into heaven five minutes, you would know more than you would by reading all that ever was written on the subject.

I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.

Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.

Afflictions, persecutions, imprisonments, and death, we must expect, according to the scriptures, which tell us that the blood of those whose souls were under the altar could not be avenged on them that dwell on the earth, until their brethren should be slain as they were.

I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.

Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory!

The chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed.
