34362 | But recalling that it is one of many similar and even more striking facts, what shall be said, Has ever impostor dared what Joseph Smith did? |
34362 | But what prompted Brigham Young to plant his cane by the shore of an alkali lake and say, Here we shall remain? |
34362 | Can ignorance or disease produce such a logical climax of a scientific system of belief? |
34362 | Did Joseph Smith teach these truths by chance? |
34362 | Did he receive his knowledge from well educated persons, who kept themselves in the background? |
34362 | Do epileptics, in their phantasms, see orderly systems of truth, which are carried into effect in their days of health and sanity? |

34362 | Is it any wonder that the philosophy is perfect? |
34362 | Is not the parallelism strong-- and may it not be that here, also, the"Mormon"prophet could have shown the learned philosopher the correct way? |
34362 | Is not this another form of the Gift of the Holy Ghost? |
34362 | Is not this the place where, perhaps, the evolution of science has failed? |

34362 | Man asks, Why am I on earth? |
34362 | On the basis of the fundamental laws, above defined, what does science require of its devotees? |

34362 | Perhaps he was tired of wandering? |
34362 | Shall we of this foremost age accept convincing, logical truth, though it run counter to our preconceived notions? |
34362 | Since ordinary means were beyond his power, how did he acquire his knowledge? |
34362 | Was he a man of lively imagination who guessed shrewdly? |
34362 | Was it a chance move? |
34362 | Was it simply because the place was far off and offered, apparently, good security? |
34362 | What can science, the great explainer, say on this subject? |
34362 | What power shall stay the heavens? |
34362 | Whence came his knowledge? |
34362 | Whence? |
34362 | Where?] |
34362 | Why did Joseph Smith speak of the Rocky Mountains as a gathering place for his people? |
34362 | Why then, did they bring the people here? |
34362 | [ Sidenote: Whence? |
34362 | [ Sidenote: Why am I on earth?] |
34362 | or will there be an end to them? |
34362 | or, did he receive inspiration from a higher power? |
47316 | *** And now, behold, you have received a witness; for if I have told you things which no man knoweth have ye not received a witness? |
47316 | *** Seest thou that ye are created after mine image? |
47316 | : Is the Book of Mormon what it purports to be? |
47316 | And Oliver''s reward? |
47316 | And the angel said unto me, Knowest thou the meaning of the Book? |
47316 | And the angel said unto me: Knowest thou the meaning of the book? |
47316 | And the result of all this, as affecting the authenticity of the Bible? |
47316 | Are the monuments of civilization found in America ancient or comparatively modern? |
47316 | Are they of one or a number of distinct races? |
47316 | Are traces of them to be found there? |
47316 | Before the court of Pilate? |
47316 | Before the rabble who had impiously clamored in the streets for his blood to be upon them and upon their children-- Why? |
47316 | But what of the testimony of the Eight Witnesses-- all so plain, matter- of- fact, straight- forward and real? |
47316 | But what shall we say to that very large number of people who do not believe the Bible? |
47316 | But who may abide the day of his coming? |
47316 | But who, at this day, shall read them? |
47316 | Can it be that God left no witnesses for himself in the western half of the world? |
47316 | Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? |
47316 | Did they become villains that they might preach righteousness? |
47316 | Do they represent the civilization of vanished races, or are they the work of the not very remote ancestors of the Indians? |
47316 | Does it really give an account of God''s hand- dealing with them? |
47316 | Elder Orson Pratt: Did you see the angel at this time? |
47316 | How long had ruined Copan been in this condition? |
47316 | How long will God bear with this wicked and perverse generation? |
47316 | How shall that be accounted for? |
47316 | How shall we so appeal to them as to secure their attention in these matters? |
47316 | I held it up, and said:"Mr. B., how much for this relic?" |
47316 | If due to migration, from what lands did they come? |
47316 | If the testimony of the Eight is pure fabrication is not the testimony of the Three pure fabrication also? |
47316 | Is it an abridged history of the ancient people who inhabited the western hemisphere? |
47316 | Is it true? |
47316 | Is it verily a volume of scripture? |
47316 | Is the Church in possession of them?" |
47316 | Is the civilization represented by these monuments really of a very high order, or was it but a step or two removed from savagery? |
47316 | Joseph himself said, when his perplexed brethren stood before him,"What deed is this that ye have done? |
47316 | Once more are the gods in council; in the darkness, in the night of a desolate universe do they commune together, of what shall we make man? |
47316 | Or, at least, is it not most likely to be so? |
47316 | Replying to the question,"Did you notice his appearance?" |
47316 | Then there are to be difficult circumstances? |
47316 | Therefore there was council again in heaven: What shall we do with man now? |
47316 | These questions demand solution; but how shall we solve the problem? |
47316 | This conflict of opinion extends to such important subjects as the following: Who were the first inhabitants of America? |
47316 | Was there one or several migrations? |
47316 | Were they indigenous races, or is their presence in America due to migration? |
47316 | What is the chaff to the wheat? |
47316 | What more shall I say? |
47316 | What motive, then, prompted these Witnesses to enter into a wicked collusion to deceive mankind in a matter so grave? |
47316 | What was the course of their migration? |
47316 | What would be easier than thus to impose on their credulity and weakness? |
47316 | Where is the sage who has given to the world as much joy as the possessed Mary of Magdala?" |
47316 | Which will preponderate? |
47316 | Who shall read them? |
47316 | Why did he not appear in all the majesty of his immortal life, after his resurrection, before the high priests and the Sanhedrim of the Jews? |
47316 | what is the matter? |
47316 | who shall trace the void, O''er the dim fragments cast a lunar light, And say''here was or is,''where all is doubly night?''" |
46243 | And their works are in the dark; and they say, who seeth us; and who knoweth us? |
46243 | Are there any qualifications that Mr. Smith should possess that he did not possess? |
46243 | Are we not bound then to yield, at least, our faith on the side of evidence? |
46243 | But where, we ask, is there one exception? |
46243 | But why not confer authority by ordination, as well as reveal the everlasting gospel? |
46243 | But will we then receive it? |
46243 | But, we ask, can any man testify that he KNOWS a false doctrine to be true, and still not be an impostor? |
46243 | Can a multitude of the nations of Joseph be found in Europe, Asia, or Africa, or in any of the adjoining islands? |
46243 | Can any man show that the gospel will not be restored by an angel, or that the Saints will not be called out of Babylon by a message from heaven? |
46243 | Can any one show any cause why Joseph Smith should not receive the ministering of an angel? |
46243 | Can this be said of any other people who have existed on the eastern hemisphere during the last 1700 years? |
46243 | Can you find a scheme more perfect than the one introduced by Mr. Smith? |
46243 | Can you find one equal to it in perfection? |
46243 | Can you find one that contains the one- twentieth part of the truth which his system contains? |
46243 | DIVINE AUTHORITY; OR THE QUESTION, WAS JOSEPH SMITH SENT OF GOD? |
46243 | Dare any other societies in all the world make such a promise unto the believers in their respective systems? |
46243 | Did Ezekiel predict the final gathering of Israel as an immediate result of the union of the two records of Joseph and Judah? |
46243 | Did Isaiah predict that the"deaf should hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind see out of obscurity, and out of darkness?" |
46243 | Did John predict that the Saints should receive a message from heaven, commanding them to come out of Babylon? |
46243 | Did John predict the restoration of the gospel by an angel? |
46243 | Did Martin Luther, Wesley, Whitfield, Swedenborg, or Irving think of this? |
46243 | Did the ancient saints teach baptism to the penitent believer for the remission of sins? |
46243 | Do you enquire what that view is? |
46243 | Does it not require a greater effort of mind to disbelieve such a scheme than it does to believe it? |
46243 | Fifth.--What else besides the"everlasting gospel"does the Book of Mormon profess to contain? |
46243 | For shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not? |
46243 | How came Mr. Smith, if a deceiver, to think of all this? |
46243 | How happens all this? |
46243 | How then did Mr. Smith obtain the office of an apostle, if Moroni had no authority to ordain him to such office? |
46243 | I answered,"Where is the church of Christ?" |
46243 | I enquired why not? |
46243 | I then inquired,"Are you in the church of Christ? |
46243 | If Joseph Smith were an impostor, whence his superior wisdom? |
46243 | If an impostor, how came Mr. Smith to discover this? |
46243 | If such a scheme can not be credited, where is there a scheme or system in the whole world that can be credited? |
46243 | If the records of two different tribes are to be joined in one, why not the Book of Mormon and the Bible be the two records? |
46243 | If then perfection characterizes every doctrine embraced in the great scheme of this modern prophet, who can say that he was not sent of God? |
46243 | If, then, you doubt the authority of Mr. Smith, how much more ought you to doubt the authority of every other man now on the earth? |
46243 | Now, how does this accord with the word of the Lord to Ezekiel upon the same subject? |
46243 | Now, how does this testimony of Joseph Smith agree with the book of John''s prophecy given on the Isle of Patmos? |
46243 | Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding? |
46243 | Out of the twelve tribes of Israel, why did he select only a branch of one tribe to people this vast continent? |
46243 | Reader, does not such a scheme savour very strongly of the truth? |
46243 | Second.--In what manner does Joseph Smith declare that a dispensation of the gospel was committed unto him? |
46243 | So did Mr. S. Did they teach the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Spirit? |
46243 | Were there any doctrines which he advocated adverse to scriptural doctrine? |
46243 | Were there any principles connected with his system inconsistent with the prophecies? |
46243 | What particular event or circumstance pertaining to the dispensation, of which he professed to hold the keys, has he excluded from his system? |
46243 | What power enervated his mind in laying the foundation of a church according to the ancient order? |
46243 | What then is lacking? |
46243 | What, but the power of God, could have revealed beforehand this unknown fact, demonstrated years after by actual discovery? |
46243 | Where is there a man, no matter how great his attainments, that can show Mr. Smith''s doctrine to be false? |
46243 | Where then is the discrepancy between the ancient and modern teachings? |
46243 | Who can not perceive the perfect harmony between Isaiah''s prediction and Mr. Smith''s testimony? |
46243 | Who dare oppose so great and perfect a system, without the least shadow of evidence to prove its falsity? |
46243 | Who that has examined his mission or system impartially, can bring even one evidence against it? |
46243 | Why did he not say, My doctrine is true, and if you will embrace it, you can be saved, and still remain where you are? |
46243 | Why did he not, like the Irvingites, assume the apostleship without an apostle to ordain him? |
46243 | Why did not this modern prophet, if a deceiver, form his deceptive scheme more in accordance with the opinions of the learned? |
46243 | Why not that person be Mr. Smith? |
46243 | Why? |
46243 | Will not our prejudices be as great then as they are now against Mr. Smith? |
46243 | Will they be any more ready to receive new revelations, visions, angels, or ancient sacred records than they are now? |
46243 | and why not Mr. Smith be the instrument in the hands of God in fulfilling this prophecy? |
46243 | or that Israel will not be gathered to their own lands through the instrumentality of more revelation? |
46243 | or that apostles and prophets will not be restored to the earth as in ancient times? |
46243 | or that the kingdom of God will not be set up in the latter days to break in pieces all other kingdoms? |
46243 | or that the record of the tribe of Joseph will not be joined with the Jewish record-- the Bible? |
46243 | or why should he choose a remnant of the tribe of Joseph to people ancient America? |
46243 | that the Book of Mormon is not the record of Joseph, about which Ezekiel prophesied? |
46243 | where, if not in America, has a land been peopled by a multitude of the nations of Joseph? |
46243 | why he should not be ordained an apostle, or prophet, or receive revelations and commandments from God? |
59970 | Did you say Joe Smith in a sermon? |
59970 | I want to ask this congregation-- every man, woman and child-- to answer the question in their own hearts, what kind of a being is God? 59970 Sectarian priests cry out concerning me and ask:"Why is it that this babbler gets so many followers and retains them?" |
59970 | We had been outrageously imposed upon, and knew not how far we could trust anyone; besides a question necessarily arose, how shall we come? 59970 What right had that constable to refuse our request? |
59970 | Who is your company? |
59970 | *** How have we come at the Priesthood in the last days? |
59970 | *** I know not how soon these things will take place; and after a view of them, shall I cry peace? |
59970 | *** Now what is this other Comforter? |
59970 | **** Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? |
59970 | ***** Who can wonder that the chair of the National Executive had its place among the visions of this self- reliant man? |
59970 | A modest fear might suggest: Who was he that he should dare to approach the great Creator''s throne? |
59970 | Almighty God, what shall we do in such a trial as this?" |
59970 | And had we not a right to expect foul play? |
59970 | And where will Thy temple stand unto which all nations shall come in the last days? |
59970 | And whither were they to go? |
59970 | As they departed, one of the mob leaders said to another: Did n''t you feel strange when Smith took you by the hand? |
59970 | Behold the great day of the Lord is at hand; and who can abide the day of His coming, and who can stand when He appeareth? |
59970 | But the Prophet exposed them in the following words: But can they hide the Governor''s cruel order for banishment or extermination? |
59970 | But what shall be said of men who believe and yet never saw him? |
59970 | Can it be wondered at that he was bewildered in the labyrinth of paths, each of which claimed to be the heavenly way? |
59970 | Can they conceal the blood of the murdered husbands and fathers, or stifle the cries of the widow and the fatherless? |
59970 | Can they conceal the fact that twelve or fifteen thousand men, women and children have been banished from the state without trial or condemnation? |
59970 | Can they conceal the fact that we have been imprisoned for many months, while our families, friends and witnesses have been driven away? |
59970 | Can they conceal the facts of the disgraceful treaty of the generals with their own officers and men at Far West? |
59970 | Citizens said: If these men do not like Nauvoo, why do they continue to reside here? |
59970 | Did Mr. Boggs, as the controversy proceeded, remain a neutral spectator, as his first intimation had given the Mormons to understand? |
59970 | Did he, in obedience to the oath which he had taken to support the constitution of the state, respond to the call as a governor should? |
59970 | Does any man or woman know? |
59970 | Does not this look like many others of our prosecutions with which you are acquainted? |
59970 | For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and in Him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing? |
59970 | For these wrongs the Mormons ought to have some redress; yet how and where shall they seek and obtain it? |
59970 | For what purpose? |
59970 | Have you got the ague?" |
59970 | He walked up to Reynolds and offered his hand, when the bandit cried out:"Do you meet me as a friend? |
59970 | How is it with the kingdom of God? |
59970 | How were these plundered people to find means for journeying to a land of safety? |
59970 | I again repeat the question, What kind of a being is God? |
59970 | I am ready to be offered a sacrifice for this people; for what can our enemies do? |
59970 | If not, before whom shall the Mormons institute a trial? |
59970 | If not, what can be the meaning of this? |
59970 | In the night Joseph whispered to Dan Jones,"Are you afraid to die?" |
59970 | Is not this a plea of justification for the loss of individuals, done in pursuance of that order? |
59970 | Is there no chance for his escape? |
59970 | It is their happiness; then why disturb the Mormons so long as they are happy and peaceable, and are willing to live so with all men? |
59970 | Joseph inquired:"What is the meaning of this?" |
59970 | Joseph said:"Why do you make this threat so often? |
59970 | Need I say, he is not guilty of the crime alleged against him by Governor Boggs? |
59970 | Now, what do we hear in the gospel which we have received? |
59970 | Peter W. Cownover, one of the Prophet''s friends, said to Wilson:"What is the matter with you? |
59970 | Placing his hand upon my head, he said,"Is there no place for you, my boy? |
59970 | Reynolds asked,"Is Jem Flack in the crowd?" |
59970 | Shall the one become a partaker of glory, and the other be consigned to hopeless perdition? |
59970 | Shall they apply to the courts of the state of Missouri? |
59970 | Shall they apply to the federal courts? |
59970 | Shall they apply to the legislature of the state of Missouri for redress? |
59970 | Shall they summon a jury of the individuals who composed the mob? |
59970 | The Prophet said,"Do you not believe in Jesus Christ?" |
59970 | The all- absorbing question with him was: Which of these churches is the church of Christ? |
59970 | The people said: Is it possible that Brother Law or Brother Marks is a traitor and would deliver Joseph into the hands of his enemies in Missouri? |
59970 | The question was proposed at a lyceum which Joseph attended whether the kingdom of God was set up before the day of Pentecost or not till then? |
59970 | Then will ye longer deny the Christ, or can ye behold the Lamb of God? |
59970 | Then, after a little time, his angel came once more and said:"Joseph, why are you here?" |
59970 | Then, sir, why is it that he should be so cruelly pursued? |
59970 | Thus blinded, how could mankind offer true worship to the Lord of heaven and earth? |
59970 | To do what? |
59970 | Was it the Mormons or our enemies who first commenced these difficulties? |
59970 | Was not this almost a mockery of the people''s disasters? |
59970 | Were such fish to be caught with Spaulding''s tedious romance and a puerile fable of undecipherable gold plates and gigantic spectacles? |
59970 | What constitutes the kingdom of God? |
59970 | What could we do under the circumstances different from what we did do? |
59970 | What do you say to the case of the penitent thief? |
59970 | What would be their fate in the great hereafter? |
59970 | What, then, we would respectfully ask, is the remedy of the Mormons? |
59970 | When next they were to begin their labor, Joseph was at first silent; and then he exclaimed:"Martin, what is the matter? |
59970 | When will Zion be built up in her glory? |
59970 | When will the wilderness blossom as the rose? |
59970 | Where can we turn our eyes to behold such another? |
59970 | Where did the kingdom of God begin? |
59970 | While they stood talking Joseph put his hand upon Foster''s vest and said:"What have you concealed there?" |
59970 | Who can say that a restoration of the Gospel of Peace was not necessary in such an age? |
59970 | Who ordered out the Nauvoo Legion? |
59970 | Who will say that the"Mormon"Prophet is not among the great spirits of the age? |
59970 | Whom shall they sue? |
59970 | Why are they then baptized for the dead? |
59970 | Why is it that I must be made accountable for other men''s acts? |
59970 | Why not give him the privilege of the laws of this state? |
59970 | Why not?" |
59970 | Why, then, should we be dragged to Carthage, where the law does not compel us to go? |
59970 | Yet how shall it be fulfilled under modern systems? |
59970 | _ Governor_:"Why did you not give a more speedy answer to the_ posse_ that I sent out?" |
59970 | _ Prophet:_ How do you know he was n''t baptized before he became a thief? |
59970 | _ Prophet:_ What do you mean by that? |
59970 | and who would not be the sufferer? |
59970 | do you mean that I may say anything I please, and that you will make no reply?" |
59970 | have I not seen it? |
59970 | to feed their hungry, and clothe their naked with the$ 2,000? |
45619 | Ah,said I,"what has Joseph Smith done, that you should want to kill him?" |
45619 | Be you Baptists? |
45619 | Did you ever read that book? |
45619 | Did you not feel strangely when Smith took you by the hand? 45619 I do not know,"replied the host;"how did you get hold of it?" |
45619 | I suppose,said I,"you intend to kill me, with the rest?" |
45619 | It is I,said Joseph;"is my father yet alive? |
45619 | Mother,he cried,"in the name of God, what is this host of men doing here? |
45619 | Mr. Cole,said he,"what right have you to print the Book of Mormon in this manner? |
45619 | Now, Lovisa,I replied,"do you know what ails you? |
45619 | Now, stopsaid I,"do you not know that we have never asked you for money or property? |
45619 | Then must I,said Joseph,"return with such a tale as this? |
45619 | Then,said Dr. Stone,"will you drink some brandy?" |
45619 | Well, I do n''t know,said she;"where be you going?" |
45619 | What be they? 45619 What be you?" |
45619 | Will you take some wine? |
45619 | Yes,said Joseph,"I see you have; but you have not come to take off my leg, have you, sir?" |
45619 | A''nt ye going to kill''i m?" |
45619 | After hearing me through, the gentlemen said,"Can we see the manuscript, then?" |
45619 | After talking a short time to them, she stopped, and, turning to her mother, said,"Mother, will you get me something to eat? |
45619 | After this he spoke to me again, and said:-- Mother, do you not know, that you are one of the most singular women in the world? |
45619 | And have I not an equal privilege with the ancient saints? |
45619 | And how shall I appear before the Lord? |
45619 | And shall the Legion''s sorrow flow, As if a Chieftain were laid low, Who threw his frail escutcheon by, To join the Legion formed on high? |
45619 | And upon what righteous principle has all this been brought about? |
45619 | And where were his children? |
45619 | And why is it so? |
45619 | And why not? |
45619 | And will not the Lord hear my prayers, and listen to my cries as soon as he ever did theirs, if I come to him in the manner they did? |
45619 | Another replied,"A''nt ye going to kill''i m? |
45619 | Are they robbing or stealing? |
45619 | Are we not in far better circumstances in our present situation?" |
45619 | Are you a mother who has been bereft of a child? |
45619 | At this, Daniel said,"Now, gentlemen, these men are drowning; who will assist them at the risk of his life?" |
45619 | Being surprised she said,"Why do you ask me? |
45619 | Brother Sidney says the keys of the kingdom are taken from us, and where is the use of bringing Joseph here?" |
45619 | But will all this purchase an assurance for me, and waft me to the regions of eternal day, with my garments spotless, pure and white? |
45619 | Can it be? |
45619 | Can you look full in my eye, and say before God, that you have in reality found a Record, as you pretend?" |
45619 | Can you not realize that all things were made by him, and that he rules over the works of his own hands? |
45619 | Colonel Wight said,"What shall we do? |
45619 | Deacon Beckwith:"Well, now, Mr. Smith, if you find that you are deceived, and that he has not got the Record, will you confess the fact to me?" |
45619 | Did the Lord hear our petition? |
45619 | Do you not know that we have secured the copyright?" |
45619 | For the Lord there repeats, or rather, promises again to perform the oath which he had previously sworn to Abraham; and why this repetition to Isaac? |
45619 | Has peace, indeed, been taken from the world? |
45619 | Have any of you lacked? |
45619 | Have not I set food before you every day, and made you, who had not provided for yourselves, as welcome as my own children? |
45619 | Have they ever lifted a finger to earn any part of that which they now claim? |
45619 | He took Arthur by the hand, and said:-- My son, I have given you my youngest, darling child, and will you be kind to her? |
45619 | He was surprised at being accosted in this manner, and replied,"What do you mean, sir? |
45619 | He, starting up, exclaimed,"Is it possible that this is Mother Smith? |
45619 | His father then said,"Did you see them?" |
45619 | Hyrum was much surprised at finding him there, and remarked,"How is it, Mr. Cole, that you are so hard at work on Sunday?" |
45619 | Hyrum, observing this, said"Martin, why do you not eat; are you sick?" |
45619 | I appealed to the principal surgeon, saying,"Dr. Stone, can you not make another trial? |
45619 | I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God? |
45619 | I looked him steadily in the face, and replied,"I am, sir, the mother of Joseph Smith; but why do you apply to him such epithets as those?" |
45619 | I wondered at what I saw, and said in my heart, What can be the meaning of all this? |
45619 | If any one of them be right, which is it? |
45619 | In the midst of this war of words, and tumult of opinion, I often said to myself, What is to be done? |
45619 | Is this a land of rights? |
45619 | It was then asked"How shall we prevent the printing of this book?" |
45619 | John, turning suddenly, cried out,"Joseph, is this you?" |
45619 | Joseph reminded them that they were not building a house for man, but for God;"and shall we, brethren,"said he,"build a house for our God, of logs? |
45619 | Joseph who had not expressed his fears till now, sprang from the table, exclaiming,"Martin, have you lost that manuscript? |
45619 | Just then a man on shore cried,"Is the Book of Mormon true?" |
45619 | My brothers-- where are they?" |
45619 | My husband did not observe his appearance, and immediately exclaimed,"Joseph, why are you so late? |
45619 | Now tell me what can be the trouble that makes you thus dispirited?" |
45619 | Of what rebuke am I not worthy from the angel of the Most High?" |
45619 | Oliver Cowdery came home that evening, and, after relating the whole affair with much solemnity, he said,"Mother, what shall I do with the manuscript? |
45619 | Or, is he a respecter of persons? |
45619 | Or, must I not rather obtain for myself, by my own faith and diligence in keeping the commandments of the Lord, an assurance of salvation for myself? |
45619 | Shall freedom''s banner be no more unfurled? |
45619 | Shall we buy their books and allow our families to read them?" |
45619 | She would say,"Now, Joseph, are you not telling me a lie? |
45619 | Smith.--"Why, sir, did you purchase that note? |
45619 | So I asked myself,''What motive can I have in traveling here, and what place can this be?'' |
45619 | Supposing it was the man who came after me, I replied,"The Lord''s Anointed? |
45619 | The keys of the kingdom are taken from us, and what shall we do?" |
45619 | Then looking up into my face, his eyes swimming in tears, he continued,"Now, mother, promise me that you will not stay, will you? |
45619 | Then observed again, in a quite indifferent manner,"Oh, Mr. Stevens, how much did Brother Smith''s adventure bring?" |
45619 | They being seated, I addressed them thus:"Gentlemen, what can you do to save my boy''s leg?" |
45619 | Was not Isaac Abraham''s son? |
45619 | What are they about?" |
45619 | What can atone For the pure blood of innocence thou''st sown? |
45619 | What do you mean by the Lord''s Anointed?" |
45619 | What shall I do? |
45619 | When they reentered the house, I said,"Hyrum, is it a reality? |
45619 | Where are thy far- famed laws, Columbia, where Thy boasted freedom-- thy protecting care? |
45619 | Where is your confidence in God? |
45619 | Where is your faith? |
45619 | Who, of all these parties, are right? |
45619 | Why could not Jacob rest contented upon the word spoken to his fathers? |
45619 | Why the opposition and persecution that arose against me, almost in my infancy? |
45619 | Why was it that the Lord spake to him concerning the same promise, after he had made it once to Abraham, and renewed it to Isaac? |
45619 | Why was not the first promise as sure for Isaac as it was for Abraham? |
45619 | Will you do as I tell you?" |
45619 | You certainly was in no want of the money?" |
45619 | and could he not place implicit confidence in the veracity of his father as being a man of God? |
45619 | and how shall I know it? |
45619 | do you want to fight? |
45619 | has anything happened to you? |
45619 | have you broken your oath, and brought down condemnation upon my head as well as your own?" |
45619 | my father, shall I?" |
45619 | or only a sham to startle us?" |
45619 | or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? |
45619 | or, are they all wrong together? |
45619 | said she,"what shall we do? |
45619 | said the gentleman,"Do you not consider us human beings? |
45619 | shall thy purple hand Spread utter destruction through the land? |
45619 | was it not all sown yesterday?" |
45619 | what is the matter? |
45619 | what shall we do? |
45619 | what will you?" |
45619 | where are they?" |
45619 | where shall I put it to keep it away from them?" |
47091 | ''Do you pledge yourselves to keep the law of God in this land which you never have kept in your own lands?'' 47091 ''Do you pledge yourselves to see that others of your brethren who shall come hither do keep the laws of God?'' |
47091 | And are you sure that it was the devil? |
47091 | And did not he cast him out of you? |
47091 | And had not Joe Smith some hand in its being done? |
47091 | Can He beget in return? |
47091 | Did he not obtain them of you by telling you that he had a revelation to the effect that he was to have them? |
47091 | Did not he go to you and tell you that an angel had appeared unto him and authorized him to get the horse from you? |
47091 | Has He paternity, or productive virtue without paternity? |
47091 | Have you had your pay? |
47091 | If He be the Word, did He emanate from God in time or before time? |
47091 | If He emanated from God, is He co- eternal and of the_ same_, that is_ identical_, substance with Him, or merely of a_ similar_ substance? |
47091 | Is He distinct from the Father, that is, separate from Him, or is He not? |
47091 | Is He made or begotten? |
47091 | Pray, what did he look like? |
47091 | Well, how had he the horse of you? |
47091 | When the Lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? |
47091 | Why, have not you had the devil cast out of you? |
47091 | ''Aye,''replied the other,''what is the eleventh? |
47091 | ''You''ve prayed me here, now what do you want of me?''" |
47091 | *** When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" |
47091 | **** Wherefore then serveth the law? |
47091 | 30. Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments? |
47091 | 31. Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled? |
47091 | And Enoch beheld the Son of Man ascend up unto the Father; and he called unto the Lord, saying, Wilt thou not come again upon the earth? |
47091 | And Enoch said unto the Lord, How is it that thou canst weep, seeing thou art holy, and from all eternity to all eternity? |
47091 | And again Enoch wept and cried unto the Lord, saying, When shall the earth rest? |
47091 | And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of truth or some other way? |
47091 | And also for the punishment of those who introduce or harbor them? |
47091 | And consulted for a long time, saying among themselves, What need hath my lord of this tower, seeing this is a time of peace? |
47091 | And for this cause the Lord said unto Peter: If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? |
47091 | And it came to pass that Enoch cried unto the Lord, saying, When the Son of Man cometh in the flesh, shall the earth rest? |
47091 | And it came to pass that Moses called upon God, saying: Tell me, I pray thee, why these things are so, and by what thou madest them? |
47091 | And it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan and said: Who art thou? |
47091 | And now what remains to be done, under circumstances like these? |
47091 | And now, behold, you have received a witness, for if I have told you things which no man knoweth, have you not received a witness? |
47091 | And the Lord said unto me: John, my beloved, what desirest thou? |
47091 | And the servant said unto his lord, When shall these things be? |
47091 | And then received ye spirits which ye could not understand, and received them to be of God, and in this are ye justified? |
47091 | And then shall the Jews look upon me and say, What are these wounds in Thine hands and in Thy feet? |
47091 | And when Enoch heard the earth mourn, he wept, and cried unto the Lord, saying, O Lord, wilt thou not have compassion upon the earth? |
47091 | And when did poverty become a crime known to the law? |
47091 | And while they were yet laying the foundation thereof, they began to say among themselves, And what need hath my lord of this tower? |
47091 | And, again, I say unto you, that whoso having knowledge, have I not commanded to repent? |
47091 | Another replied:"_ Ai n''t ye going to kill''i m? |
47091 | Are the four beasts limited to individual beasts, or do they represent classes or orders? |
47091 | Art thou a brother or brethren? |
47091 | Behold canst thou read this without rejoicing and lifting up thy heart for gladness? |
47091 | Blessed be the name of my God, for His Spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from me, or else where is thy glory, for it is darkness unto me? |
47091 | But where learned Abel to offer sacrifice if not from his father Adam? |
47091 | But, brethren, if the Lord will, I should like to know what the honest in heart shall do? |
47091 | Concerning the question, he asked God--"Which of all the sects is right, and which shall I join?" |
47091 | Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? |
47091 | Do not the laws of Missouri provide abundantly for the removal from the state of all free negroes and mulattoes( except certain privileged ones)? |
47091 | For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of His Only Begotten; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee? |
47091 | For behold, and lo, vengeance cometh speedily upon the ungodly as the whirlwind, and who shall escape it? |
47091 | For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? |
47091 | For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? |
47091 | For, do you not behold that I have given unto my servant Joseph sufficient strength, whereby it is made up? |
47091 | He said:"And again, what do we hear? |
47091 | His seeking knowledge from God upon this very question--"which of all the sects is right?" |
47091 | How came he to offer sacrifice of the firstlings of his flock? |
47091 | I ask again, to whom shall blame be attached for this tragedy? |
47091 | I have actually seen a vision, and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? |
47091 | I tried to prevail upon him, making use of the figure, supposing that he should get into a mud- hole, would he not try to help himself out? |
47091 | If any one of them be right, which is it, and how shall I know it? |
47091 | In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinions, I often said to myself, what is to be done? |
47091 | Is it not evident that the kingdom of peace, wherein was to dwell righteousness and truth, had become merely one of the kingdoms of this world? |
47091 | Is it not so, surely? |
47091 | Is this true? |
47091 | May not the prophecy of Enoch have been among the scriptures with which Abraham was acquainted? |
47091 | Might not this money be given to the exchanges? |
47091 | Mr. Jonathan Thompson was next called up and examined:"Has not the prisoner, Joseph Smith Jun., had a yoke of oxen of you?" |
47091 | Mr. Knight was sworn, and Mr. Seymour interrogated him as follows:"Did the prisoner, Joseph Smith, Jun., cast the devil out of you?" |
47091 | Now, unto what shall I liken the children of Zion? |
47091 | One cried,"Simonds, Simonds,_ where''s the tar bucket_?" |
47091 | Or canst thou be humble and meek, and conduct thyself wisely before me? |
47091 | Or canst thou run about longer as a blind guide? |
47091 | Q.--What is the sea of glass spoken of by John, 4th chapter, and 6th verse of the Revelations? |
47091 | Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? |
47091 | Some one said,''Here is Mrs. Johnson with a lame arm; has God given any power to man now on the earth to cure her?'' |
47091 | To whom shall blame be attached in this tragedy? |
47091 | Unto what shall I liken these kingdoms, that ye may understand? |
47091 | Was it not"left to other people"? |
47091 | What are we to understand by sealing the one hundred and forty- four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel; twelve thousand out of every tribe? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the angel ascending from the east, Revelations, 7th chapter and 2nd verse? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the book which John saw, which was sealed on the back with seven seals? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the eyes, and wings, which the beasts had? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the four and twenty Elders, spoken of by John? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the four angels, spoken of in the 7th chapter and 1st verse of Revelations? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the four beasts, spoken of in the same verse? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the little book which was eaten by John, as mentioned in the 10th chapter of Revelations? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the seven seals with which it was sealed? |
47091 | What are we to understand by the sounding of the trumpets, mentioned in the 8th chapter of Revelations? |
47091 | What greater witness can you have than from God? |
47091 | What have we not deserved to suffer for such conduct? |
47091 | What is to be understood by the two witnesses, in the eleventh chapter of Revelations? |
47091 | What time are the things spoken of in this chapter to be accomplished? |
47091 | When are the things to be accomplished, which are written in the 9th chapter of Revelations? |
47091 | When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which has gone forth out of me? |
47091 | When shall the blood of the Righteous be shed, that all they that mourn may be sanctified, and have eternal life? |
47091 | When will Zion be built up in her glory, and where will Thy temple stand, unto which all nations shall come in the last days?" |
47091 | When will my Creator sanctify me that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face? |
47091 | Where was room for doubt? |
47091 | Wherefore, I, the Lord, ask you this question, Unto what were ye ordained? |
47091 | Who of all these parties are right; or, are they all wrong together? |
47091 | Why the opposition and persecution that arose against me, almost in my infancy? |
47091 | Why then, do you wreak your fury against the temples, when this surely is not to persuade, but to use force? |
47091 | Wilt thou not bless the children of Noah? |
47091 | Would not the epistle on the"common salvation"be as important as the one the only one we now have from Jude''s pen? |
47091 | [ 2] What of the"Lamb slain from the foundation of the world"? |
47091 | [ 4]"Where wast thou,"asked the Lord of Job,"when I laid the foundations of the earth? |
47091 | or what holy religion the Jackson mob were speaking of, which was thrown into contempt by the revival of the New Testament religion? |
47091 | was Paul crucified for you?" |
47091 | what is the cause of this great evil? |
47091 | { 93}"Did you see him after he was cast out of you?" |
47707 | By court- martial? |
47707 | Tried by what authority? |
47707 | What are we to understand by Zion loosing herself from the bands of her neck; 2nd verse? |
47707 | Who is your company? |
47707 | Will you swear all you know concerning him? |
47707 | ''What about''em? |
47707 | After he went out, I asked some of the guard what was the matter with General Clark, that made him appear so ridiculous? |
47707 | And for what cause? |
47707 | And from whom receivest thou thy power and blessings, but from God? |
47707 | And now what did they hate us for? |
47707 | And now, brethren, we say unto you-- what more can we enumerate? |
47707 | And the reason is very obvious, because it is said, that"Out of Sion shall come the deliverer;"and for what cause? |
47707 | And to what end? |
47707 | And what people had Isaiah reference to?" |
47707 | And where is the pavilion that covereth Thy hiding place? |
47707 | And why are they not chosen? |
47707 | Are not their consciences seared as with a hot iron? |
47707 | Are states such entities as may be held to an accounting for breaches of public faith and public morals-- constitutional immoralities? |
47707 | Are they not murderers then at heart? |
47707 | At that time Judge King retorted upon us again, saying,"Gentlemen, are you not going to introduce some witnesses?" |
47707 | But can they hide the governor''s cruel order for banishment or extermination? |
47707 | But how shall the truth of this be established beyond reasonable doubt? |
47707 | But my heart says, Where is he whose lips used to whisper the words of life to us? |
47707 | But to what tribe of Israel was it to be delivered? |
47707 | But whar mout you live, stranger?" |
47707 | But what of Missouri? |
47707 | Can it be possible that he did not know how utterly unjustifiable the present movement against them was? |
47707 | Can they conceal the blood of the murdered husbands and fathers, or stifle the cries of the widows and the fatherless? |
47707 | Can they conceal the fact that twelve or fifteen thousand men, women and children, have been banished from the state without trial or condemnation? |
47707 | Can they conceal the fact that we have been imprisoned for many months, while our families, friends and witnesses have been driven away? |
47707 | Can they conceal the facts of the disgraceful treaty of the generals with their own officers and men at the city of Far West? |
47707 | Colonel Wight said,"What shall we do? |
47707 | Colonel Wight then asked him what should be done? |
47707 | Did she pay any penalty for her wrong- doing? |
47707 | Did you gaze on this deed of blood? |
47707 | Did you say you cotched one on''em? |
47707 | Did you see your companion in arms thus massacred?" |
47707 | Do I not hold the destinies of all the armies of the nations of the earth? |
47707 | Do the Mormons send missionaries to foreign nations? |
47707 | Do you not know, have you not heard, that there is over you an all- hearing ear and an all- seeing eye? |
47707 | Do you think that the Christians, to whom you will go over by changing your religion, will support you and fill up the place of our fellow believers? |
47707 | Eighteenth--"Is there anything in the Bible which licenses you to believe in revelation now- a- days?" |
47707 | Eighth--"Can they[ the Mormons] raise the dead?" |
47707 | Eleventh--"Did not Joseph Smith steal his wife?" |
47707 | Fifteenth--"Do the Mormons baptize in the name of''Joe''Smith?" |
47707 | Fifth--"Do you believe Joseph Smith, Jun., to be a Prophet?" |
47707 | For have I not the fowls of heaven, and also the fish of the sea, and the beasts of the mountains? |
47707 | For what have they fallen? |
47707 | Fourteenth--"Do they not stir up the Indians to war, and to commit depredations?" |
47707 | Fourth--"How and where did you obtain the Book of Mormon?" |
47707 | Have I not made the earth? |
47707 | He replied in the same rough and careless manner,''You d----d rascals, what is yours?'' |
47707 | How do you account for their acts? |
47707 | How have we come at the Priesthood in the last days? |
47707 | How is this to be done? |
47707 | How long, O Lord, wilt thou not avenge the blood of the Saints? |
47707 | How, then, your petitioners would ask, can it be possible that the prisoner has committed treason? |
47707 | I had five small children; we suffered hunger, fatigue and cold; for what? |
47707 | I know not how soon these things will take place; but with a view of them, shall I cry peace? |
47707 | I thought-- is this our boasted land of liberty? |
47707 | I, Number II, pages 28 and 29, as follows: First--"Do you believe the Bible?" |
47707 | If any of us should be recognized, who can harm us? |
47707 | Ignorant of what? |
47707 | In heaven he opposed the gospel of Jesus Christ; cast out into the earth will he not oppose it there? |
47707 | Is it not of the essence of Americanism? |
47707 | Is there anything that does not authorize us to believe so? |
47707 | Is there no virtue in the body politic? |
47707 | Let them repent of all their sins, and of all their covetous desires, before me, saith the Lord, for what is property unto me, saith the Lord? |
47707 | Nineteenth--"Is not the canon of the Scriptures full?" |
47707 | Ninth--"What signs does Joseph Smith give of his divine mission?" |
47707 | Now do you not know that the Lord sent me already many hard tribulations? |
47707 | Now the Lord has said that He would set His hand the second time, and we ask, for what, but to recover the house of Jacob? |
47707 | Now the question is, unto whom is this dispensation to be given? |
47707 | Now what is this other Comforter? |
47707 | Now, I ask, what is a dispensation? |
47707 | Now, we ask, what is man? |
47707 | O, my father, what are the men going to do with you? |
47707 | One of the women came up, and very candidly inquired of the troops which of the prisoners was the Lord{ 201} whom the"Mormons"worshiped? |
47707 | Or by whom to be revealed? |
47707 | P. S.--If you do not intend to be in Quincy this week, would you favor us with your opinion on this subject? |
47707 | Questions by Elias Higbee:"What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52nd chapter, 1st verse, which saith, put on thy strength O Zion? |
47707 | Second--"Wherein do you differ from other sects?" |
47707 | Seventeenth--"Does not''Joe''Smith profess to be Jesus Christ?" |
47707 | Seventh--"Do the Mormons believe in having more wives than one?" |
47707 | Shades of Franklin, Jefferson and Washington, were you there? |
47707 | Sixteenth--"If the Mormon doctrine is true, what has become of all those who died since the days of the Apostles?" |
47707 | Sixth--"Do the Mormons believe in having all things in common?" |
47707 | Tenth--"Was not Joseph Smith a money digger?" |
47707 | That all your deeds will be written in a book and judged hereafter? |
47707 | That many sorrows do vex me? |
47707 | The Son of Man hath descended below them all; art thou greater than he? |
47707 | The mob cried out,"Dick Weldin''s dead; who killed Dick?" |
47707 | The only consolation they received from the mob, under these circumstances, was,"G---- d---- you, do you believe in Joe Smith now?" |
47707 | The woman then turning to me inquired whether I professed to be the Lord and Savior? |
47707 | Then what? |
47707 | There are many things published that they say are true, and again turn around and say they are false?" |
47707 | Therefore will I not make solitary places to bud and to blossom, and to bring forth in abundance, saith the Lord? |
47707 | They immediately hailed him, and cried out,''Say, stranger, G----d d---- you, what is your name?'' |
47707 | They said,"Then you, as a rational man, will give up Joseph Smith''s being a prophet and an inspired man? |
47707 | Third--"Will everybody be damned, but Mormons?" |
47707 | Thirteenth--"Are the Mormons abolitionists?" |
47707 | Turley asked him,"Why is not the translation now{ 308} true?" |
47707 | Twelfth--"Do the people have to give up their money when they join his Church?" |
47707 | Twentieth--"What are the fundamental principles of your religion?" |
47707 | Was it because we were liars? |
47707 | Was it for committing adultery that we were assailed? |
47707 | Were He alive today who, think you, would be nearer His heart,--the persecuted or the persecutors?" |
47707 | What art thou, O man, but dust? |
47707 | What compromise need there be, Judge King, for no"Mormons"had refused to surrender to the requisitions of the law? |
47707 | What is Boggs or his murderous party, but wimbling willows upon the shore to catch the flood- wood? |
47707 | What is it that he says? |
47707 | What is my offense, I believe in God and revelation?'' |
47707 | What is the cause of these Missouri persecutions? |
47707 | What is the rod spoken of in the first verse of the 11th chapter of Isaiah that should come of the Stem of Jesse? |
47707 | What is the root of Jesse spoken of in the 10th verse of the 11th chapter? |
47707 | What power shall stay the heavens? |
47707 | What was to be done in this extremity? |
47707 | While the people will lie and the authorities will uphold them, what justice can honest men expect? |
47707 | Whitmer asked,"Do you hint at me?" |
47707 | Why I''d a tho''t you''d a kilt him on the spot; what have you done with him?'' |
47707 | Why do you startle at this, brethren? |
47707 | Why hast thou forsaken that law, and accepted instead of it lying and vanity? |
47707 | Why is this violence done to the principle of religious freedom, a principle that is both the pride and boast of the American people? |
47707 | Why not keep to truth and justice? |
47707 | Why should the authorities of the state strain at a gnat and swallow a camel? |
47707 | Why was this? |
47707 | Why, then, these bonds?" |
47707 | Why? |
47707 | Will you have them do so? |
47707 | Witness replied,"Why not?" |
47707 | Would you murder me? |
47707 | [ 5] Who is the Stem of Jesse spoken of in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th verses of the 11th chapter of Isaiah? |
47707 | [ How long can rolling water remain impure? |
47707 | and I must die, for I can not live without him?'' |
47707 | and why use such epithets as"Demagogue"to Thomas H. Benton, for not answering his letter, when it is very probable that he had not received it? |
47707 | they re not out of prison, are they?'' |
47707 | where art Thou? |
47707 | will you give up a pearl for that which is nothing, which is of no value in itself? |
47707 | { 462} He was then asked for what he had thus cast us into prison? |
47192 | ''What for?'' 47192 ''What name?'' |
47192 | ''Where are you going?'' 47192 ''Who leads the camp?'' |
47192 | And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water, and the eunuch said, See, here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? 47192 And the disciples came and said unto Him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? |
47192 | But,said they,"is there not some one among you{ 70} whom you call your captain, or leader, or who is superior to the rest?" |
47192 | How, then, shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? 47192 Jesus saith unto them, Have you understood all these things? |
47192 | Well,said the scoffer,"what did you gain on this useless journey to Missouri with Joseph Smith?" |
47192 | What thing? |
47192 | Where are you going? |
47192 | And besides, are not those who hold slaves, persons of ability, discernment and candor? |
47192 | And further, if he was accepted of God, what were the ordinances performed further than the offering of the firstlings of the flock? |
47192 | And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? |
47192 | And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
47192 | And how shall they hear without a preacher? |
47192 | And how shall they preach, except they be sent? |
47192 | And if Abel was taught of the coming of the Son of God, was he not taught also of His ordinances? |
47192 | And if it had ordinances what were they? |
47192 | And if it was the Gospel, and that preached in the name of Christ, had it any ordinances? |
47192 | And if you were afraid that your horses and property would be stolen in a strange country, would you not watch and keep guards?" |
47192 | And is not the Gospel the news of the redemption? |
47192 | And now, I ask, how righteousness and truth are going to sweep the earth as with a flood? |
47192 | And now, why tarriest thou? |
47192 | And what shall others receive who do not labor faithfully, and continue to the end? |
47192 | And what was he to receive? |
47192 | And why? |
47192 | Are not such manifestly fitter witnesses than those who are untried? |
47192 | Are our people bound to pay the ferriage on their return? |
47192 | Are they to be accounted wholly deplorable, or as part of that experience of the Church which makes for advancement? |
47192 | Are they to be found? |
47192 | As for the calamitous events of the Church during the Kirtland period, what shall we say of them? |
47192 | But I speak concerning my churches abroad-- there are many who will say, where is their God? |
47192 | But if this life is all, then why this constant toiling, why this continual warfare, and why this unceasing trouble? |
47192 | But what after all are such periods but times of purification, of cleansing? |
47192 | But what of the world-- what of men? |
47192 | But what saith He to His disciples? |
47192 | Can we mistake such language as this? |
47192 | Can we suppose that He has a kingdom without laws? |
47192 | Consequently have need of nothing to govern or regulate them? |
47192 | Could it flourish? |
47192 | Could it prosper? |
47192 | Did I say congregations would gnash their teeth at you? |
47192 | Do not they need some such evidence back of those who shall testify of a new dispensation of the Gospel? |
47192 | Do they not expect to give an account at the bar of God for their conduct in this life? |
47192 | Do we not descend below our own knowledge, and the better wisdom which heaven has endowed us with, by such a course of conduct? |
47192 | Do we not offer violence to our own good judgment when we deny the second coming of the Messiah? |
47192 | Do we offer violence to the Supreme Intelligence of heaven, when we admit the truth of its teachings, and do not obey them? |
47192 | Does your conduct merit such censures as exist against you? |
47192 | Eight-- Shall any intelligence relative to the building up of Zion be withheld from the Council of Zion? |
47192 | Fifth-- By what authority was one of the High Councilors disfellowshiped in the name of the High Council without their knowledge? |
47192 | For a moment reflect: what could have been the purpose of our Father in giving to us a law? |
47192 | Fourth-- Have two presidents authority to lay out a city, and build a House of God; independent of the counsel of the High Council? |
47192 | From whence, then, hath it tares? |
47192 | Had you not fought the good fight, and kept the faith, could you expect to receive? |
47192 | Has not bitter experience taught you that they are the same now? |
47192 | Have you a promise of receiving a crown of righteousness from the hand of the Lord, with the Church of the First Born? |
47192 | He finally asked:"Does Mr. Smith live here?" |
47192 | He then asked:"Wherein do you differ from other Christian denominations?" |
47192 | He then read the revelation,[ 10] and said: Have you desired this ministry with all our hearts? |
47192 | How could Abel offer a sacrifice and look forward with faith on the Son of God for a remission of his sins and not understand the Gospel? |
47192 | How could a government be conducted with harmony if its administrators were possessed with such different dispositions and different principles? |
47192 | How is it that these old Apostles should say so much on the subject of the coming of Christ? |
47192 | How will the serpent ever lose his venom, while the servants of God possess the same disposition, and continue to make war upon it? |
47192 | How, then, is the Lord to dwell in Zion if Zion be not built up? |
47192 | I said they were snakes''eggs-- eat snakes''eggs, will you? |
47192 | I would now ask if each one of the Twelve has not an equal right to the same accommodations from that store, provided they are alike faithful? |
47192 | If I could or could not, would this be an honor or dishonor to me? |
47192 | If in any other name, was it the Gospel? |
47192 | If not, to what end serves the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and why was it ever communicated to us? |
47192 | If not, was it the Gospel? |
47192 | If slavery be an evil, who could we expect would first learn it: Would the people of the free states, or the people of the slave states? |
47192 | If the Saints are not to reign, for what purpose are they crowned? |
47192 | If the Savior in former days laid His hands upon His disciples, why not in latter days? |
47192 | If the fact were learned first by those immediately concerned, who would be more capable than they of prescribing a remedy? |
47192 | If the whole family of man were as well off without them as they might be with them, for what purpose or intent were they ever given? |
47192 | If there is, why not that Being who had power to place us here, inform us something of the hereafter? |
47192 | Is there nothing further; is there no existence beyond this vail of death which is so suddenly to be cast over all of us? |
47192 | May not the Lord have designed in part this expedition of Zion''s Camp for their instruction, for their training? |
47192 | Now if God should give no more revelations, where will we find Zion and this remnant? |
47192 | Now, before proceeding any farther, I wish to ask one or two questions: Were the Apostles men of God, and did they preach the Gospel? |
47192 | Now, what is like unto it? |
47192 | Or do we believe that it is composed of an innumerable company of beings who are entirely beyond all law? |
47192 | Remember, brethren, that He has called you unto holiness; and need we say, to be like Him in purity? |
47192 | Second-- By what authority was a committee appointed and ordained to superintend the building of the House of the Lord? |
47192 | Shall they pollute that kingdom, or shall they be cast out as material unfitted for the Master''s use, and of their own volition choose to remain so? |
47192 | Some experiences may be sad, and accounted at the time as disastrous; but are they really so? |
47192 | The following questions were frequently put and answered:"''My boy, where are you from?'' |
47192 | The question--"Was it, or was it not, the design of Christ to establish His Gospel by miracles?" |
47192 | The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? |
47192 | Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
47192 | Then who is to be the judge in this matter? |
47192 | They granted my request, and as we passed them they bawled out,"Do you get any revelations lately?" |
47192 | Third-- By what authority was Jacob Whitmer ordained to the High Priesthood? |
47192 | This, then, we conclude, was the purpose of God in giving His laws to us: if not, why, or for what were they given? |
47192 | To whom did God testify of the gifts of Abel, was it to Paul? |
47192 | Was it that God wanted to merely show that He could talk? |
47192 | Was it that it might be obeyed, or disobeyed? |
47192 | Was that without significance? |
47192 | We all admit that the Gospel has ordinances, and if so, had it not always ordinances, and were not its ordinances always the same? |
47192 | We would reply to this gentleman, Paul we know, and Christ{ 269} we know, but who are ye? |
47192 | What course can sooner divide our union? |
47192 | What nearer friend on earth, or in heaven, had Judas than the Savior? |
47192 | What order is here? |
47192 | What then? |
47192 | What was the cause of this? |
47192 | What, then, could have induced him to undergo all this toil? |
47192 | What, we ask, was this law added to, if it was not added to the Gospel? |
47192 | When or where has God suffered one of the witnesses or first Elders of this Church to fall? |
47192 | When will man cease to war with man, and wrest from him his sacred rights of worshiping his God according as his conscience dictates? |
47192 | Where is one like Christ? |
47192 | Who can rightly estimate the value of the experiences of that movement for the redemption of Zion, called Zion''s Camp? |
47192 | Who comprehends it now? |
47192 | Who hath counted His buffaloes? |
47192 | Who hath seen all His deer on a thousand prairies? |
47192 | Who hath viewed His everlasting fields? |
47192 | Who in the Christian world taught them? |
47192 | Who is as holy as He was? |
47192 | Who is as perfect? |
47192 | Who is as pure? |
47192 | Who understood even the first principles of the doctrines of Christ? |
47192 | Who, among all the Saints in these last days, can consider himself as good as our Lord? |
47192 | Who, at the time comprehended the full import of this incident? |
47192 | Why is this so? |
47192 | Why? |
47192 | Will a hundred dollars do you any good?" |
47192 | Will the mere admission, that this is the will of heaven ever benefit us if we do not comply with all his teachings? |
47192 | Would harmony prevail? |
47192 | Would it not be asserting that man had found out a secret beyond Deity? |
47192 | Would not such ideas be a reproach to our Great Parent, and at variance with His glorious intelligence? |
47192 | Would order be established, and could justice be executed in righteousness in all branches of its departments? |
60708 | And the Lord called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou? 60708 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" |
60708 | Try the spirits,but what by? |
60708 | Try the spirits,says John, but who is to do it? |
60708 | What then? 60708 Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? |
60708 | ''What''said he,''I be baptized?'' |
60708 | And again, verily I say unto you, how shall your washings be acceptable unto me, except ye perform them in a house which you have built to my name? |
60708 | And can it be expected that a man will be called by revelation who does not believe in revelation? |
60708 | And how can these gifts be obtained without revelation? |
60708 | And how were Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers and Evangelists chosen? |
60708 | And if this was not the case, I would ask, how did Paul know so much about Abel, and why should he talk about his speaking after he was dead? |
60708 | And many among them shall stumble"( Isaiah viii: 14, 15); but"have they stumbled that they should fall? |
60708 | And the Lord said: Whom shall I send? |
60708 | And was not the penalty inflicted upon them for that transgression, captivity in Babylon seventy years? |
60708 | And what will the world say? |
60708 | And whom did He foreknow? |
60708 | And why did He love the one and hate the other? |
60708 | And why have they not obtained it? |
60708 | And why? |
60708 | And will you not begin quickly to return with usury that which you have received? |
60708 | And"who are the called according to His purpose?" |
60708 | Angels would hide their faces, and devils would be ashamed and insulted, and would say,"Paul we know, and Jesus we know, but who are ye?" |
60708 | Are Captain Cornelius Gilliam and his company out by legal authority, or are they mobbers? |
60708 | Are men, then, to be saved by works? |
60708 | Are the curtains of heaven withdrawn, or the purposes of God developed? |
60708 | Are we able to receive it? |
60708 | Are we to try them by the creeds of men? |
60708 | As soon as he had read one of them, he looked upon us with a half frown, and said,"What can I do? |
60708 | As yet exaltest thou thyself, against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?" |
60708 | At what period do you look for this event? |
60708 | Because Jacob''s works had been righteous, and Esau''s wicked, and where is there a righteous father who would not do the same thing? |
60708 | Besides, what would the venerable John Wesley,( if he{ 236} were alive) say to such conduct? |
60708 | But is responding to the calls of humanity so rare a thing in a Christian state, that it must needs be regarded as so exceptional in this case? |
60708 | But it may be asked how Mr. Baxter could get a sign from a second person? |
60708 | But some may say, how can this be, I am not there, therefore I can not meet in the Temple, can not be baptized in the font? |
60708 | But, say you, what can we do to accomplish this great and desirable object? |
60708 | Cain found it so when he presented an unrighteous offering, for God said unto him,( Gen. iv:7),"If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?" |
60708 | Can the same be said of a similar assemblage in any other city in the Union? |
60708 | Certainly not; and if such ignorance as this is manifested about a spirit of this kind, who can describe an angel of light? |
60708 | Could any one tell the length, breadth or height of a building without a rule? |
60708 | Did not the Apostle speak the truth? |
60708 | Did those high born and noble feelings lie dormant, or were you insensible to the treatment we received? |
60708 | Do ye not know the Saints shall judge the world? |
60708 | Do you believe in election and reprobation? |
60708 | Do you believe in the restitution of your nation to the land of your fathers, called the land of_ promise_? |
60708 | Does He not reveal things differently from what we expect? |
60708 | For these wrongs, the"Mormons"ought to have some redress; yet how and where shall they seek and obtain it? |
60708 | Had any of us better come back this fall? |
60708 | Have they been guilty of shedding innocent blood, to that extent since their return, that they were before they were taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar? |
60708 | Have they ever been guilty of idolatry at all since their return from Babylon? |
60708 | Have they seen and conversed with an angel-- or have the glories of futurity burst upon their view? |
60708 | Have we not a right to sympathize with each other? |
60708 | Have you no feelings of commiseration? |
60708 | He said, if God has appointed him, and chosen him as an instrument to lead the Church, why not let him lead it through? |
60708 | How can a man communicate that which he is not in possession of?) |
60708 | How doth he yet speak? |
60708 | How long, O Lord, shall iniquity triumph, and sin go unpunished? |
60708 | How shortsighted and unstatesman- like it would have been for the men of Illinois not to have welcomed these settlers into their state? |
60708 | How then, shall these things be accomplished and your souls be satisfied? |
60708 | How, it may be asked, was this known to be a bad angel? |
60708 | I prayed and God answered, but what could I do? |
60708 | If Satan should appear as one in glory, who can tell his color, his signs, his appearance, his glory?--or what is the manner of his manifestation? |
60708 | If condemning and crucifying Jesus of Nazareth was not the cause of this great evil, what was the cause of it? |
60708 | If not of all of it, which does He recognize? |
60708 | If not, before whom shall the"Mormons"institute a trial? |
60708 | If the keys of the Kingdom have been committed to my hands, who shall open out the mysteries thereof? |
60708 | If the revelations we have received are true, who is to lead the people? |
60708 | In answer to which, if repentance, baptism, and faith existed prior to the days of Christ, what necessity for them since that time? |
60708 | Independent of this, however, where do we read of a woman that was the founder of a church, in the word of God? |
60708 | Is God the author of all this? |
60708 | Is Nauvoo, or Commerce, to be the general point of concentration for the Mormon people? |
60708 | Is it not sin? |
60708 | Is it possible that we labor in vain and toil for nought, and that we shall be disappointed at the last? |
60708 | Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? |
60708 | Is not God good? |
60708 | Is not repentance and abandonment of sin safe, so long as God commands, and stands ready to look after the consequences? |
60708 | Is not this a plea of justification for the loss of individuals, done in pursuance of that order? |
60708 | Is not this passiveness evidence? |
60708 | Is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob a just God? |
60708 | Is there any intelligence communicated? |
60708 | Is there no chance for his escape? |
60708 | Is this correct? |
60708 | It is easy for us to say now, but if we had lived in her day, which of us could have unravelled the mystery? |
60708 | It may be asked by some, what necessity for sacrifice, since the Great Sacrifice was offered? |
60708 | It may be asked, where is there anything in all this that is wrong? |
60708 | Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? |
60708 | Know ye not that we shall judge angels? |

60708 | None ever were perfect but Jesus; and why was He perfect? |
60708 | Of such we would ask, who gave you your time, health, strength, and put you into business? |
60708 | On what was anciently called Mount Zion,[ Moriah?] |
60708 | Or can you better dispose of the property than we are doing for your interest? |
60708 | Or is it your design to crush us with a ponderous load before we are able to walk? |
60708 | Or shall they do business in the name of the Church? |
60708 | Or what shall we do? |
60708 | Or will any man submit to ordination for the fulfillment of a revelation or call, in which he hath no faith? |
60708 | Permit me to ask whether this is a proper return for the confidence we have bestowed, and for the indulgence we have extended? |
60708 | Shall the one become the partaker of glory and the other be consigned to hopeless perdition? |
60708 | Shall they apply to the court of the state of Missouri? |
60708 | Shall they apply to the federal courts? |
60708 | Shall they apply to the legislature of the state of Missouri for redress? |
60708 | Shall they summon a jury of the individuals who composed the mob? |

60708 | Then is it not right to repent of it? |

60708 | They may have among them bad and desperate characters, and what community has not? |
60708 | To do what? |
60708 | To feed its hungry and clothe its naked with the$ 2,000? |
60708 | Was not Abraham, our father, justified by works( v. 21)? |
60708 | Were there not benefits which the Saints could bestow upon the state in return for the heartiness of the reception given? |
60708 | What chance is there for infidelity when we are parting with our friends almost daily? |
60708 | What church do you usually attend? |

60708 | What is the matter here? |
60708 | What is the reason that the Priests of the day do not get revelation? |
60708 | What is the sign of the healing of the sick? |
60708 | What then may be said of the Prophet''s claims in respect to the municipal powers of Nauvoo? |

60708 | What will become of our society? |
60708 | What will the conference say? |
60708 | What, then, we would respectfully ask, is the remedy of the"Mormons?" |
60708 | When was it written? |
60708 | When will these things cease to be, and the Constitution and the laws again bear rule? |
60708 | When? |

60708 | Why stand in the way when he is appointed to do a thing? |
60708 | Why then this prejudice and persecution? |
60708 | Why this wonderful change? |
60708 | Why were they a peculiar people? |
60708 | Why? |
60708 | Why? |
60708 | Why? |
60708 | Will the Twelve have to be together to do business as a quorum? |
60708 | Will they all be damned for not obeying the Gospel, when they never heard it? |
60708 | Would it not have been, under all the circumstances, the gravest of blunders for Illinois to have refused asylum to these exiles? |
60708 | You ask,"When will these things cease to be, and the Constitution and the laws again bear rule?" |
60708 | and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? |
60708 | and no man take it to heart? |

59951 | Amongst the debris,says Nadaillac,"lays the bones of some gigantic ruminants( perhaps bisons? |
59951 | But,says one,"how do you account for it being in the morning in America and in the afternoon in Jerusalem?" |
59951 | Do you ever think,said a writer in one of our popular magazines--"Do you ever think what is the effect of a book on your mind? |
59951 | How wilt thou say to thyDo they say: Take the brother, let me pull out the splinter out of thine eye? |
59951 | ** The question was once submitted to me,"Is the Catholic church the church here referred to-- the church of the devil?" |
59951 | *** And the Lord said unto him, Arise, why hast thou fallen? |
59951 | *** Know ye not that there are more nations than one? |
59951 | **** Is your mind purer for it, or clearer? |
59951 | :"Question.--Did you, Mrs. Davison, write a letter to John Storrs, giving an account of the origin of the Book of Mormon? |
59951 | A tree one hundred feet long, or one two hundred feet long, or longer? |
59951 | A woeful fatality, is it not? |
59951 | A.--An idolatrous people? |
59951 | Again I ask, who is responsible for the absence of these books? |
59951 | And he said unto me: What desirest thou? |
59951 | And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? |
59951 | And if there was no law given if men sinned, what could justice do, or mercy either; for they would have no claim upon the creature? |
59951 | And the only question to be considered here is-- since the reality of the prophecy can not be questioned-- has the prophecy been fulfilled? |
59951 | And what does this discovery prove? |
59951 | And who will hesitate to pronounce him an imposter? |
59951 | And why take ye And why take ye And for raiment thought for raiment? |
59951 | Are all difficulties which they represent removed? |
59951 | Are all the objections to the Book of Mormon satisfactorily answered? |
59951 | Are modern books so constructed? |
59951 | Are these errors in language to be assigned to the Urim and Thummim, or to God? |
59951 | Are these important truths we have been considering this evening, wherein the welfare of half the world is concerned, gold or dross? |
59951 | But are these really original productions? |
59951 | But how small? |
59951 | But how was this to be accounted for? |
59951 | Can a parallel case be pointed to in the modern making of books? |
59951 | Candidly, does the complex structure of the Book of Mormon appeal to one as at all modern in its arrangement? |
59951 | Could he cause the glory of God more brilliant than the light of the sun at noon- day to shine about them? |
59951 | Could it not be claimed with some force that here would be the violation of a very universal custom of the Hebrew people? |
59951 | Did Joseph copy it from the Bible, or did the Lord adopt this identical language in revealing it to Joseph? |
59951 | Did he bear rule over the western hemisphere? |
59951 | Did he rule all of Europe and Africa? |
59951 | Did his dominion extend to the western hemisphere, for there the children of men dwelt as well as in Asia? |
59951 | Do we owe much to God for creation? |
59951 | Do you find any Hebrew points representing vowels? |
59951 | Do you find on these ancient writings any of these modern characters that have been introduced during the last two thousand four hundred years? |
59951 | Do you not know, have you not heard, that there is over you an all- hearing ear and an all- seeing eye? |
59951 | Do you think that the Christians, to whom you will go over by changing your religion, will support you and fill up the place of our fellow believers? |
59951 | Does it comport with the attributes of impartial love towards his children? |
59951 | Does it not cast suspicion upon the whole Spaulding theory? |
59951 | Does it not smack rather of man''s bigotry and narrowness, and above all, of human ignorance? |
59951 | Does the infinity of his eternal nature ebb and flow with every increase or diminution in the sum of human guilt and misery? |
59951 | Does this prophecy really mean"wheresoever the children of men dwell,"there, too, was the rule and dominion of Nebuchadnezzar? |
59951 | For more than raiment? |
59951 | God a failure? |
59951 | Had man ever died if he had never sinned? |
59951 | Had not the day of religious persecution, at least within the enlightened republic of the new world, forever passed away? |
59951 | Had the gospel at that time, or, for matter of that, has it at any time since then, been preached unto every creature under heaven? |
59951 | Has anything worth while come because of the revelation of the Book of Mormon? |
59951 | Has it filled your mind with good or bad images? |
59951 | Has it raised your standard or lowered it? |
59951 | Have we here the reappearance of the old Epicurean doctrine,"pleasure is the supreme good, and chief end of life?" |
59951 | Have we not a clear right to expect and demand a recognition of these, or else a clear confutation of them? |
59951 | Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? |
59951 | Have you read the Book of Mormon? |
59951 | He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation? |
59951 | How could he sin, if there was no law, how could there be a law, save there was a punishment? |
59951 | How did we lose original justice? |
59951 | How do you prove that? |
59951 | How is it that chapters 1- 39 can be assigned an author, but the more important chapters 40- 66 have to be assigned to an"unknown"author? |
59951 | How is it that errors in grammar are found in a work said to be translated by the"gift and power of God, through the medium of the Urim and Thummim?" |
59951 | How was it with Ariel? |
59951 | If not, where is the evidence of their fulfillment? |
59951 | If the conclusion as to the weight be true, would not that be difficulty enough to present? |
59951 | In a word, shall we employ against it all the thunder of Mr. Campbell''s criticism of the Book of Mormon? |
59951 | Is God to become more holy, more wise, more powerful hereafter; and must evil be annihilated to make room for his perfections to expand? |
59951 | Is it gold? |
59951 | Is it not a travesty upon the qualities of justice and mercy as we believe those qualities to exist in God? |
59951 | Is it not possible that these facts would be an incentive to his posterity to keep alive among them this Egyptian learning of their great ancestor? |
59951 | Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be a forest? |
59951 | Is not God infinitely wise and holy and powerful now? |
59951 | Is not originality by the very nature of the claims of the Book of Mormon excluded? |
59951 | Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? |
59951 | Is such a view as this worthy of God? |
59951 | Is the light which the Book of Mormon throws upon the word of God contained in the four( New Testament) Gospels of importance? |
59951 | Is there any thing whereof it may be said, see, this is new? |
59951 | Is this statement of Paul''s literally true? |
59951 | Is this true? |
59951 | Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? |
59951 | Lord, how long wilt thou be angry? |
59951 | Mark how the annals of the ages teem With repetition? |
59951 | May it not be that they recognized as one of the means of achieving such destruction the abrogation of the old familiar names of things and persons? |
59951 | May it not be that when Jesus gave the same instructions in Judea he made a like distinction? |
59951 | May not the matter referred to by Professor White be an interpretation of this old Jewish prophecy concerning the three days of darkness? |
59951 | May not these prophecies be golden, especially if needed? |
59951 | May not this prophecy of Enoch''s have been among the"scripture"with which Abraham was acquainted, mentioned above? |
59951 | May they not have been imported? |
59951 | Meantime, do not our opponents recognize the fact that some responsibility devolves upon them in the controversy? |
59951 | Now do you not know that the Lord sent me already many hard tribulations? |
59951 | Now, how could a man repent, except he should sin? |
59951 | Now, if there was no law given-- if a man murdered he should die, would he be afraid he would die if he should murder? |
59951 | Now, we ask, What nation upon the earth has been visited with a distress resembling that of Ariel or Jerusalem? |
59951 | O, stop and tell me, Red Man, Who are you, why you roam, And how you get your living; Have you no God, no home? |
59951 | O, who that has seen o''er the wide spreading plain, And read o''er the last scenes of woe? |
59951 | Or say that his statements do not agree with the facts? |
59951 | Or such summaries of the law of Moses as the Ten Commandments constitute? |
59951 | Or why not take the second migration-- the Nephite-- for the accomplishment of such a purpose? |
59951 | Q.--Are you certain that some of the names agree? |
59951 | Q.--Did the manuscript describe an idolatrous or a religious people? |
59951 | Q.--Did you ever read the manuscript? |
59951 | Q.--Did you sign your name to it? |
59951 | Q.--Does Mr. Spaulding''s manuscript and the Book of Mormon agree? |
59951 | Q.--Does the manuscript and the Book of Mormon agree? |
59951 | Q.--Does the manuscript describe an idolatrous or a religious people? |
59951 | Q.--Has D. P. Hurlburt got the manuscript printed? |
59951 | Q.--Have you read any in the Book of Mormon? |
59951 | Q.--How large is Mr. Spaulding''s manuscript? |
59951 | Q.--Is what is written in the letter true? |
59951 | Q.--To Mrs. McKinstry: How old were you when your father wrote the manuscript? |
59951 | Q.--Was your name attached to that letter, which was sent to Mr. John Storrs, by your order? |
59951 | Q.--What agency had you in having this letter sent to Mr. Storrs? |
59951 | Q.--Where is the manuscript? |
59951 | Says one,"Is not this a contradiction between the Book of Mormon and the New Testament?" |
59951 | Second: How are these errors in language to be accounted for? |
59951 | Seest thou that thou art created after mine own image? |
59951 | Seest thou that ye are created after mine own image[ likeness]? |
59951 | Shall the angel of the Lord, who commanded Gideon in these priestly things, be declared a spirit of evil, a violator of God''s covenant? |
59951 | Shall thy wrath for ever burn? |
59951 | Shall we reject him and his book? |
59951 | Shall we reject the prophecies of Daniel because a strict and technical construction of his language does not meet the facts? |
59951 | She asked,"What for?" |
59951 | Small; but small in comparison of what? |
59951 | Suppose we were to apply it as a test of the New Testament? |
59951 | Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter''s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? |
59951 | That all your deeds will be written in a book and judged hereafter? |
59951 | That is to say, can these errors have been transferred from the ancient Nephite language into our English idioms? |
59951 | That is, suppose the Book of Mormon had been full of double names, applied to the same person, what then? |
59951 | That many sorrows do vex me? |
59951 | The chief asked,"How many moons it would be before the Great Spirit would bless them?" |
59951 | The only question is, Has it been fulfilled? |
59951 | The words of the translation being read off through the stone spectacles?" |
59951 | Their lives a failure? |
59951 | Then, again: If the Book of Mormon is mere fiction, the idle coinage of an inventive, modern author, why three migrations? |
59951 | Therefore take no Therefore, take no Be not solicitous thought, saying thought, saying therefore, saying: What shall we eat? |
59951 | Third: Can these verbal errors, and errors in grammar, these modernisms and localisms arise from equivalent defects in the original Nephite records? |
59951 | This may secure his fame for ingenuity, but what of his honesty? |
59951 | This third kingdom is generally agreed to have reference to the kingdom of Alexander; but did Alexander"bear rule over all the earth?" |
59951 | To do this they must have traveled thousands of miles and spent months, perhaps years, to accomplish-- what? |
59951 | Was it for the purpose of duping the world? |
59951 | Was knowledge in those antique times so imperfect that the author of such a remarkable production as Isaiah 40- 66 could not be ascertained? |
59951 | Was not America in those days especially heralded as the asylum for the oppressed of every land? |
59951 | Was the intelligence or learning of Solomon Spaulding, or any other person to whom the origin of the book is ascribed, equal to such a task? |
59951 | Was there ever such an exhibition in the history of the world of such continued, such unabating, such undeviating falsehood if falsehood it was? |
59951 | Were he alive today who, think you, would be nearer his heart-- the persecuted or the persecutors? |
59951 | Were not the rights of conscience guaranteed by specific provisions both in the national constitution and in the state constitutions? |
59951 | What could they gain, in any light that could be then presented to their minds, by palming such a deception upon the world? |
59951 | What has become of them? |
59951 | What is meant by that? |
59951 | What is the reply to such attacks? |
59951 | What moved God to make them? |
59951 | What must be done to meet this dilemma? |
59951 | What of his carrying away bodily, together with the posts and iron bar which fastened them, the huge gates of the city of Gaza? |
59951 | What of one lone man, with so poor a weapon as the jaw bone of an ass, slaying a thousand men of a war- like people? |
59951 | What of the positive evidences and arguments advanced in favor of the Book of Mormon? |
59951 | What of this man, bare handed, meeting a lion and overcoming him? |
59951 | What shall we eat: or, what shall we or, what shall we or what shall we drink? |
59951 | What shall we eat? |
59951 | What signify the words creation of heaven and earth? |
59951 | What was found in it? |
59951 | What were my petty difficulties compared with those afflictions which they had to endure? |
59951 | What, then, shall we do with this inspired prophet who says he"shall bear rule over all the earth?" |
59951 | What, then? |
59951 | Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? |
59951 | Wherefore then serveth the law? |
59951 | Who is responsible for their absence? |
59951 | Who may tell? |
59951 | Why hast thou forsaken that law, and accepted instead of it lying and vanity? |
59951 | Why was it not done? |
59951 | Why will he not show himself in this land, as well as in the land of Jerusalem? |
59951 | Why? |
59951 | Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? |
59951 | Worth while considering? |
59951 | Would not the epistle on the"common salvation"be as important as that one we have from Jude''s pen? |
59951 | Wouldst know the cause, the upas- tree that bore The blight of desolation? |
59951 | [ 10] Shall these acts be denounced as a violation of the covenant of the Lord with Aaron and the tribe of Levi? |
59951 | [ 25] Whence this terror of the darkness? |
59951 | [ 34] But how are these differences to be accounted for? |
59951 | [ 35] But why could not the argument of Wilkinson be followed when confronted with a similar problem respecting the ancient Egyptian works in stone? |
59951 | [ 3] But where learned Abel to offer sacrifices if not from his father, Adam? |
59951 | [ 62] May it not be possible that a too great antiquity is claimed for most of the evidences of the existence of these animals in the western world? |
59951 | [ 70] But of what tree? |
59951 | and does not sin exist along with that infinite holiness and wisdom and power? |
59951 | and who knoweth us? |
59951 | body than raiment? |
59951 | clothed? |
59951 | do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? |
59951 | faith? |
59951 | faith? |

59951 | than they? |

59951 | will you give us a pearl for that which is nothing, which is of no value in itself? |
59951 | ye not much better ye not much better Are not you of than they? |
60758 | Can we do any good? |
60758 | Did you ever see him? |
60758 | Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
60758 | Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods? 60758 Why have you not published this before?" |
60758 | _ What must the manacled nations think of freemen''s rights in the land of liberty? 60758 _"Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" |
60758 | (?) |
60758 | (?) |
60758 | A little exertion, and the infamy of the evil will blacken the guilty only, for is it not written,"The tree is known by its fruit?" |
60758 | After which, the State''s attorney, Birch, turned to me tauntingly, saying,"Why the hell do n''t you bring on your witnesses?" |
60758 | Again: Lived there ever such a man as Moses in Egypt? |
60758 | And for what? |
60758 | And had we not a right to expect foul play? |
60758 | And where is a spark from the watch- fire of''76, by which one candle might be lit that would glimmer upon the confines of Democracy? |
60758 | And where was there ever a father without first being a son? |
60758 | And who, that is ambitious for greatness and power, would not have said the same thing? |
60758 | And will God take it from the man until He takes him Himself? |
60758 | And{ 12} let me ask these profound sectarians, why He has not done it? |
60758 | Are you engaged with us in this great work? |
60758 | Are you old enough to know what you are about? |
60758 | At the October conference following the martyrdom of the two brothers, President Brigham Young said_:"Did Joseph ordain any man to take his place? |
60758 | Badham?" |
60758 | But Jesus said,''Whose image and superscription is this?'' |
60758 | But allowing their false, diabolical accusations to be true, what then? |
60758 | But do the people acknowledge the hand of God in all these things? |
60758 | But how are they to become saviors on Mount Zion? |
60758 | But this is not all: we mean to elect him, and nothing shall be wanting on our part to accomplish it; and why? |
60758 | But what is the object of this important mission? |
60758 | But where are now those principles of freedom? |
60758 | But will the rulers of our land do it? |
60758 | By the Court: Is your residence, Mr. Elliott, in this county? |
60758 | Ca n''t you lend me five hundred dollars? |
60758 | Can it be possible that the traitor whom Porter Rockwell reports to me as being in correspondence with my Missouri enemies, is one of my quorum? |
60758 | Can you do something for them? |
60758 | Can you get an endowment in Boston or anywhere, except where God appoints? |
60758 | Can you in this land of equal right return in safety to your possessions in Missouri? |
60758 | Dan said,"Has that time come, think you? |
60758 | Deponent asked,"What have you against Joseph Smith? |
60758 | Deponent said,"Did William Law know your business?" |
60758 | Did He ever concoct anything that was devilish for mankind? |
60758 | Did I build on any other man''s foundation? |
60758 | Did I not give him the liberty of disbelieving any doctrine I have preached, if he saw fit? |
60758 | Did he ever injure you?" |
60758 | Did the ancient Apostles, Prophets, or Saints who died pay too much for that kingdom? |
60758 | Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?" |
60758 | Do you ask what is wanting? |
60758 | Do you know the source from whence you derive your knowledge? |
60758 | Do you think I would trouble this conference with it? |
60758 | Does it follow that he is continually to be followed for the same offense? |
60758 | Does not this look like many others of our prosecutions with which you are acquainted? |
60758 | Every time a line was formed in Far West, he was there-- for what? |
60758 | For what purpose? |
60758 | For what? |
60758 | Foster said--"I do not feel at liberty to answer this question, under existing circumstances?" |
60758 | General, will you stand neutral? |
60758 | Good? |
60758 | Had you not rather enjoy the society of Saints than sinners whom you can not love? |
60758 | Has God forgotten to be gracious, to be merciful to mankind? |
60758 | Has the Gospel of the kingdom commenced in the last days? |
60758 | Has the Lord spoken in these last days, and required us to build Him a house? |
60758 | Has the majesty of American liberty sunk into such vile servitude and oppression, that justice has fled? |
60758 | Hast thou sought for a Daniel to declare it unto thee? |
60758 | Hath he beheld the eternal world, and is he authorized to say that there is only one God? |
60758 | Have I asked you for your money? |
60758 | Have you not received the Gospel? |
60758 | Have you not received the Holy Ghost, by receiving the Gospel which we have brought unto you? |
60758 | He further asked if he ever preached anything like the"plurality of wife"doctrine to her other than what he had preached in public? |
60758 | How are we to keep peace in the city, defend ourselves against mobs, and keep innocent blood from being shed? |
60758 | How came you here? |
60758 | How do you like to go into other Churches and hear them abuse us? |
60758 | How much are one and one? |
60758 | How much is one from two? |
60758 | How stands the matter when it is investigated-- investigated by a Missouri court? |
60758 | I again asked him--"Did I ever misuse you?" |
60758 | I am ready to be offered a sacrifice for this people; for what can our enemies do? |
60758 | I ask, Did I ever exercise any compulsion over any man? |
60758 | I inquired what they would do with those people of Nauvoo who would not fight? |
60758 | I insert the following article from the_ Times and Seasons_:-- WHO SHALL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT? |
60758 | I replied, I should think he was a rascal: but who has had such a trial as that? |
60758 | I said,"Do you call that democracy or mobocracy?" |
60758 | I then asked Justice Aaron Johnson--"Did I ever make oath before you against Simpson?" |
60758 | I then asked him if Hyrum could be put in his way so that no man would mistrust him, would you kill him? |
60758 | I then asked him--"Have I ever misused you any way?" |
60758 | I then asked--"Did I ever wrong you in deal, or personally misuse you in any shape?" |
60758 | I then said:"If we undertake that, Governor, when the proper time comes, will you interfere?" |
60758 | I wish to ask if ever I got any of it unfairly? |
60758 | I would ask the Latter- day Saints, Do you know your benefactors? |
60758 | I would ask, who built up this city? |
60758 | If I have not reproved you in the gate? |
60758 | If a man leaves the principles of the doctrine of Christ, how can he be saved in the principles? |
60758 | If he was guilty of breaking jail, why not try and punish him for that before that court? |
60758 | If indignation, how would you curse the heartless wretches that have so desecrated and polluted the temple of liberty? |
60758 | If not, what can be the meaning of all this? |
60758 | If the Catholic church is bad, how can any good thing come out of it? |
60758 | If the Catholic religion is a false religion, how can any true religion come out of it? |
60758 | If the angels found a God in heaven able to give instructions, shield them from sword and famine,& c., why have we not found Him? |
60758 | If the whole tree is corrupt, are not its branches corrupt? |
60758 | If this is the best, the most patriotic, the most free, what is the situation of the rest? |
60758 | If we are ignorant, what knowledge have the rest of the people? |
60758 | If we pass only a fine or imprisonment, have we any confidence that they will desist? |
60758 | If you do not, your turn may come next; and where will it cease? |
60758 | If, then, our charter gives us the power to decide what shall be a nuisance, and cause it to be removed, where is the offense? |
60758 | If, then, this is the case, can we conscientiously vote for a man of this description, and put the weapons into his hands to cut our throat with? |
60758 | In a short time after my guide came and said aloud,"Joseph, Joseph, what are you doing there?" |
60758 | In the presence of such difficulties, what was to be done? |
60758 | Is he still illegally and unconstitutionally to be held in abeyance by these miscreants? |
60758 | Is it not the principle of the Saints to mingle together and promote the great cause in which they are engaged? |
60758 | Is it written? |
60758 | Is liberty only a name? |
60758 | Is protection of person and property fled from free America? |
60758 | Is there no power anywhere to redress our grievances? |
60758 | Is there wisdom in Zion? |
60758 | Is this the gracious boon for which your fathers fought and struggled and died? |
60758 | It shall be said in time to come, Where are our old policemen? |
60758 | James A. McCanse was called by the court and asked,"Do you subscribe to the decision of Mr. Johnson in the matter?" |
60758 | Jesus, if they were called Gods unto whom the word of God came, why should it be thought blasphemy that I should say I am the son of God? |
60758 | Joseph replied,"Yes; what shall we do, Brother Hyrum?" |
60758 | Joseph said to Rockwell,"What shall I do?" |
60758 | Joseph then turned to Hyrum, who was talking with Cahoon, and said,"Brother Hyrum, you are the oldest, what shall we do?" |
60758 | Judging from what is past, how will it be when God sets up His kingdom in the last days? |
60758 | Marshal Greene asked one of the officers if anything was destroyed except what belonged to the press? |
60758 | Mayor put his finger on it and said--"What is that?" |
60758 | Mayor stepped through the door into the entry by the foot of the stairs, and the General( Mayor) asked him what he wished? |
60758 | Men have a right to take and read what papers they please;"but do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" |
60758 | Missouri lacks the disposition and Congress lacks both the disposition and power(? |
60758 | Mr. Doniphan said--"You little devil you, what are you doing here with this fire?" |
60758 | Mr. Stigall went out, and Joseph said to Dr. Richards,"If we go into the cell, will you go in with us?" |
60758 | Must I, then, be thrown away as a thing of naught? |
60758 | Now was this merely confined to the living, to settle difficulties with{ 252} families on earth? |
60758 | Now, let me ask one for facts; Was there ever such a place on the earth as Egypt? |
60758 | Now, query-- Could Moses have obtained the law if he had stayed in the midst of the children of Israel, instead of going up on to the mountain? |
60758 | Now, will you help us to build the Nauvoo House and Temple? |
60758 | Now, ye Elders, will you be faithful? |
60758 | O humanity, where hast thou hidden thyself? |
60758 | On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union? |
60758 | Or could you, even the speculators, have sold your lands for anything here, if the Saints had not come? |
60758 | Patriotism? |
60758 | Paul, what do you say? |
60758 | Perhaps some of you are ready to ask,"Can not the Lord save us as well where we are as to gather together?" |
60758 | President, U.S., who shall be our next?, 39. |
60758 | Question: Who? |
60758 | Says one, Suppose we are not satisfied that this is the work of God? |
60758 | Shall our national banner, which floated so proudly in the breeze at the Declaration of Independence, be disgraced and refuse to show its motto? |
60758 | Shall the liberty which our fathers purchased at so dear a price be wrenched from the hand of their children? |
60758 | Shall we suffer our pockets to be picked through the influence of these scoundrels eternally, by defending ourselves against vexatious lawsuits? |
60758 | Shall wisdom cry aloud, and her speech not be heard? |
60758 | The first question then is, What is a mathematical problem? |
60758 | The poor among them put sixpence, fifty cents or a dollar into the box to carry out that object; and can the Latter- day Saints do nothing? |
60758 | The question is frequently asked"Can we not be saved without going through with all these ordinances,& c.?" |
60758 | The same morning after Hyrum had made ready to go-- shall it be said to the slaughter? |
60758 | The same witnesses reply,_ Certainly._ And was he a Prophet? |
60758 | Then why query about it? |
60758 | This stranger asked--"Where are{ 139} those men going?" |
60758 | Under these circumstances, the question again arises, Whom shall we support? |
60758 | Was Eli Norton of the police? |
60758 | Was it the Mormons or our enemies who first commenced these difficulties? |
60758 | We had been outrageously imposed upon, and knew not how far we could trust anyone; besides, a question necessarily arose, how shall we come? |
60758 | We have come out to reap, but do we have time to reap new grain? |
60758 | We have found these men covenant- breakers with God, with their wives,& c. Have we any hope of their doing better? |
60758 | We went through and told the Saints these things; but did the churches do as God commanded? |
60758 | We wonder whether they now believe that they are, or not? |
60758 | Were we maturing plans to corrupt the world, to destroy the peace of society? |
60758 | What are we to say about these kidnappers who infest our borders and carry away our citizens-- those infernals in human shape? |
60758 | What are we to understand by this in the last days? |
60758 | What could we do under the circumstances different from what we did do? |

60758 | When the Lord says,"Gather yourselves together,"why do you ask Him what for? |

60758 | Why do not my enemies strike a blow at the doctrine? |
60758 | Why is it that I must be held accountable for other men''s acts? |
60758 | Why start presses to destroy rights and privileges, and bring upon us mobs to plunder and murder? |
60758 | Why was he not applied to? |
60758 | Why, then, must the citizens of this place be scourged with such attempts? |
60758 | Why, then, should we be dragged to Carthage, where the law does not compel us to go? |
60758 | Why? |
60758 | Will it be called treason, if the God of heaven should set up a kingdom? |
60758 | Will it be popular or unpopular? |
60758 | Will it suit the politics of the majority? |
60758 | Will the editor of that paper be{ 39} so kind as to ask his informant who the thieves are, and where they live, and give us the desired information? |
60758 | Will this be clear enough? |
60758 | Will you come? |
60758 | Would steamboats have landed here, if the Saints had not come? |
60758 | Would you confine your work to the living alone? |
60758 | Would you not be astonished if even now we should tell the glories and privileges of the Saints of God to you and to the world? |
60758 | Wouldst thou know the interpretation thereof? |
60758 | You have now got the principle men here under your own control, they are all you want, what more do you want? |

60758 | and who told you? |
60758 | and why are thy features so terribly distorted? |
60758 | and why art thou terrified? |
60758 | did you never think of this before? |
60758 | has it come to this, that freeborn American citizens must be kidnapped by negro drivers? |
60758 | how such a thing looks, that the Saints should be afraid of beating one another in the election, or being beat? |
60758 | or even against Joseph H. Jackson or the Laws, until they came out against the city? |
60758 | or how is it to be fulfilled? |
60758 | that thy face should gather blackness? |
60758 | to ROB men of their property rights, without avenging them? |
60758 | we have three Gods anyhow, and they are plural: and who can contradict it? |
60758 | what would you do if you were here? |
60758 | wilt thou not give to every honest man a heated dart to sting those wretches while they pollute the land? |
60758 | wilt thou not_ open the trap door_ to the pit of ungodly men, that they may stumble in? |
60758 | { 13} Then do you believe what we say? |
60758 | { 295} Are we now, indeed, in a land of liberty, of freedom, of equal rights? |
60736 | Do you believe in the baptism of infants? |

60736 | And what could be more sure? |
60736 | And what is that power? |
60736 | And what is that? |
60736 | And when the voice calls for the dead to arise, suppose I am laid by the side of my father, what would be the first joy of my heart? |
60736 | And why did she do it? |
60736 | And will I appoint unto you, saith the Lord, except{ 502} it be by law, even as I and my father ordained unto you before the world was? |
60736 | And will not those who come after hold our names in sacred remembrance? |
60736 | And will our enemies dare to brand us with cowardly reproach? |

60736 | Brethren, will you do your work, and let the President do his for you before God? |
60736 | Brother Cole? |

60736 | Have we increased in knowledge or intelligence? |

60736 | If he is not almost ready to return, be clothed with robes of righteousness, and go up to Jerusalem? |
60736 | If he obtained his knowledge from a second or third person, why not avail himself of their affidavits in the body of the writ? |
60736 | If so, who? |
60736 | If ten thousand men testify to a truth you_ know,_ would it add to your faith? |
60736 | If they will not defend us, will they not grant to lend a voice of indignation against such unhallowed oppression? |
60736 | In reply I asked-- Whom did Jesus have reference to as being the last? |
60736 | In that wherein are they acting differently from any other citizens? |

17279 | And who was it that taught us to give up the filthy Gentile habits of strong drink and tobacco? |
17279 | And whose fault? |
17279 | And will Mr. Smith still teach them that they must not strike a blow for their rights? |
17279 | And you think,she asked,"that your mother would receive me if I went back with you? |
17279 | And you,she said slowly,"you have poured out blood and soul for us all freely, but why?" |
17279 | Are n''t you glad? 17279 Are you Latter- Day Saints?" |
17279 | Are you Lucy Smith? |
17279 | Are you not wrong to speak so lightly of our religion? |
17279 | Are you very tired? |
17279 | Art wise, dear heart, in this longing? |
17279 | But if it were commanded by the Lord, Sister Susannah? |
17279 | But if you do n''t believe, maybe you are thinking of going east? |
17279 | But in Carthage,he asked kindly,"who will attend to your wants there and protect you? |
17279 | But in such cases are not your desires divided against themselves? 17279 But now,"he said,"who am I that I should be able to take care of all the young women that the Lord is sending to us from all parts of the world? |

17279 | Did you leave the baptising just to come and see us? |
17279 | Did you see him die? |
17279 | Did you see the angels? 17279 Did you think it was I who fired?" |
17279 | Did''st thou never find thyself to be mistaken when thou wast most sure? 17279 Do I understand you, my sister, to say that the prophet Moses did not teach a true religion?" |
17279 | Do n''t you know that Joe Smith is our prophet, and that he holds the keys of life and death? 17279 Do n''t you see it? |
17279 | Do n''t you? 17279 Do you believe that if I go away some one else will have to be baptized over again for me?" |
17279 | Do you incur any risk by the hospitality you give to me? |

17279 | Do you think I could use the price of my husband''s blood for that? 17279 Do you think I do?" |
17279 | Do you think that she would ever, by word or deed, do anything that would hurt_ me_? |
17279 | Do you think that whatever I might do she would ever try to shoot_ me_? |
17279 | Does he belong to you, young lady? |
17279 | Does she desire baptism? |
17279 | Does the prophet know? |
17279 | Does the voice of the Lord ever speak but in accordance with your desire? |
17279 | Dost think that they will contain what the prophet has called''sound learning,''and that there will be nothing in them to distract thy soul? |
17279 | Dost thou doubt, Susannah, that God is with us? |
17279 | For what? |
17279 | Has Halsey returned? |
17279 | Has Sister Halsey paid anything for living in the House this month back? |
17279 | Has he ever written anything else about this affair of Rigdon''s? |
17279 | Has not_ God_ made the signs of his presence clear to us, and even visible before our eyes? 17279 Hath she prophesied? |
17279 | Have not I, even the prophet of this great people, waited with great patience? 17279 Have ye got hold of some news that ye''re carrying to them?" |
17279 | Have you been in Nauvoo since then? |
17279 | Have you forgiven? |
17279 | Have you not observed that your husband''s mind is very peculiar? 17279 How can I tell when I do not know what is in them?" |
17279 | How can you sit and hold that child and say such terribly wicked things? |
17279 | How could I return it if it came from so many? |
17279 | How could you know whether they are wicked or not? |
17279 | How did he do it? |
17279 | How did you get among the Mormons, may I ask? |
17279 | How do you know? |
17279 | I just saw you stand there, and him a- sitting, but a voice in my own heart seemed to say--"What? |
17279 | I wonder,asked Ephraim within himself,"if that is true, or what strange secret that troubled soul took with him to the other side of death?" |
17279 | I would question, if it did not appear unkind, why you have come at all? |
17279 | If I told this child that he would be dashed to pieces if he walked out of the window, and he did not believe me, would that save him? |
17279 | If it were not for this, would you be content to go on as before? |
17279 | If you saw a friend hastening to destruction would you not stop her? 17279 If you went east who have you to go to? |
17279 | In gaol is he? 17279 Is Mr. Halsey stopping over to Farmer Knight''s?" |
17279 | Is he dead? |
17279 | Is he dead? |
17279 | Is he dead? |
17279 | Is he well? |
17279 | Is it Sydney Rigdon''s wife that you''re wanting? |
17279 | Is it any easier to believe that those things happened to folks when the Bible was written? 17279 Is it not true, Sister Susannah?" |
17279 | Is it you? |
17279 | Is it? |
17279 | Is n''t it any proof to you that I had n''t the wits nor the education to make the book? |
17279 | Joe Smith? 17279 Joseph thinks a great deal of you, Mrs. Halsey; he''s told ye to teach school?" |
17279 | Kill him? 17279 Me?" |
17279 | My sister, why do you wish to leave this beautiful city? 17279 Not legally?" |
17279 | Oh, he was sorry your frock was splashed, was he? 17279 Oh, my dear cousin, do n''t you see that it is wrong for you to stay one day longer here? |
17279 | One, two, three-- will three sheets be enough, Sister Halsey? 17279 Or Mr. Oliver Cowdery?" |
17279 | Or shall I tell them a big yarn about the nigger? |
17279 | Or that my father would ever deny me anything that I seriously asked for, or that he knew my happiness depended upon? |
17279 | Or-- or a minister? |
17279 | Perhaps I will walk away, away into the woods and never come back; what then? |
17279 | Sartin? |
17279 | Shall it be''darling Susannah''? |
17279 | Susannah, will you take my name and protection? |
17279 | The address would be on the outside? |
17279 | The devil? |
17279 | The young lady with the brown eyes that I have sometimes seen you with, ma''am? |
17279 | They are apostate,he said gloomily,"and why? |
17279 | This is the elect sister? |
17279 | Thou wilt think upon these things? |
17279 | Thou wilt walk as far as thy home with me? |
17279 | Was she any relation to you, ma''am? 17279 Was she without wax to seal it?" |
17279 | Well? |
17279 | Were you injured? |
17279 | What did they say? 17279 What do you see?" |
17279 | What do you want me to come for? |
17279 | What had he to do with me? |
17279 | What have they done? 17279 What have you been waiting for, Mr. Smith? |
17279 | What have you got? 17279 What is a Danite?" |
17279 | What news? |
17279 | What next? |
17279 | What place is this? |
17279 | What says it in the end of the Book of Job, Sister Halsey? 17279 What shall I do?" |
17279 | What was it? |
17279 | What was it? |
17279 | What will you lay on it, then? |
17279 | When have I said, Brother Darling, that they all should think what they like? 17279 Where is my husband?" |
17279 | Where is your heart? 17279 Where is your husband?" |
17279 | Where''s your husband? |
17279 | Which is Joe Smith, do tell me? 17279 Who am I to tell fortunes when my son Joseph has come home?" |
17279 | Who is it? |
17279 | Who told you all this? |
17279 | Who told you that his name was Halsey? |
17279 | Who''d have thought it? 17279 Who, Ephraim-- who fired?" |
17279 | Why are you here? |
17279 | Why believe in Moses and the prophets if not in Smith-- in the miracles of yesterday if not in those of to- day? |
17279 | Why do you cry? |
17279 | Why do you wilfully distress your mother, Ephraim? |
17279 | Why has he come here? |
17279 | Why have you let yourself be beaten and shot at and imprisoned and horribly threatened, to lead us all to this new Zion, wherever it may be? |
17279 | Why not? 17279 Why not?" |
17279 | Why should I come to see your baptism? |
17279 | Why should I take the trouble to help you and the young un? |
17279 | Will you get me the chaise and the money and let me go? |
17279 | Will you go down to the stable and bring me up a travelling- chaise? |
17279 | Will you have the kindness to tell me if you know of any one called Mr. Joseph Smith? |
17279 | Will you lay five dollars on it? |
17279 | Will you tell my fortune? |
17279 | Wilt thou,he asked, still smiling,"give it as excuse in the day of judgment that they would not let thee think?" |
17279 | Woman,his voice, deep and hoarse, was like thunder about her ears,"woman, is it not enough that the Lord has spoken?" |
17279 | Would you consider a pervert from your own sect the best witness of its tenets? 17279 Wouldst thou see him?" |
17279 | Yes,she said mechanically;"yes, but how can I?" |
17279 | Yes? |
17279 | You are offended with me for going? |
17279 | You are one of the Latter- Day Saints? |
17279 | You do n''t know why? 17279 You have exhausted yourself with long weeping, and yet--"He did not say,"Have you reason to bemoan this man''s tragic end?" |
17279 | You have, ma''am? 17279 You jest tell me one thing, will you?" |
17279 | You will not come away with me, Elvira? 17279 You will see this young man baptized?" |
17279 | You would have me believe that you have waited many years with the virtue of patience before you say this? 17279 You''re not vexed, are you?" |
17279 | _ What would satisfy you?_It was a simple question, and he asked it with overwhelming force. |
17279 | After a while, when he had raised her to her feet and embraced her again, she whispered,"Why are you in the meeting- house, Ephraim?" |
17279 | After he had watched her for a while, he said with a sad smile,"You will not come home with me to- day, Susannah?" |
17279 | Again he asked,"Sister Halsey, does this evidence of an impartial witness coincide with your observation?" |
17279 | Ai n''t that so? |
17279 | Am I to say to them that unless they have learning and wisdom and are perfect they shall not come? |
17279 | Among the Gentiles who is it that has the most children? |
17279 | And He said that believers must forsake all, houses and lands and all; what have your people forsook? |
17279 | And am I to make nunneries to put them into?" |
17279 | And the other fellow they call Halsey, was he concerned about that too?" |
17279 | And then more vehemently she asked,"What was it that you did see?" |
17279 | And what sort of children do we want the most of? |
17279 | Anything else that I can serve you with to- day? |
17279 | Are they less foolish"( she made a gesture toward the pews to denote their late inmates),"less unjust than they used to be?" |
17279 | Are you a friend of the Smiths?" |
17279 | Art weary?" |
17279 | At last she asked, not without excited tremor in her voice,"Who? |
17279 | At length he said,"You set out with this young man-- yesterday morning?" |
17279 | Be you alone?" |
17279 | But what of that if Boggs is Governor? |
17279 | But you say that you saw my cousin?" |
17279 | Ca n''t you go on sleeping?" |
17279 | Could it be possible? |
17279 | Could it be that his angel in deserting him had deserted her? |
17279 | Could the statements in this wild story bear any relation to reality? |
17279 | Did I ever promise to let you apostatise? |
17279 | Did all her former suffering go for nothing as a protest against the wrong? |
17279 | Did n''t Angel Halsey die to teach us that? |
17279 | Did n''t you see how that man Angel-- angel of purity if ever one walked in human form-- kissed every day the ground you walked upon? |
17279 | Did you hear who brought me? |
17279 | Do you go down on your knees to him, and does he pat your head?" |
17279 | Do you know what they are? |
17279 | Do you not see the face looking at us?" |
17279 | Do you remember how he gave commandment about the animals? |
17279 | Do you think that we are living on bowing terms, curtseying to each other and saying,''After you, madam, if you please''?" |
17279 | Do you think we are in a dream?" |
17279 | Do you think"--her voice trembled--"do you think that I ought to think about my soul-- that way?" |
17279 | Do you understand_ that_ doctrine?" |
17279 | Ephraim had added:"When you went from us, Susy, would you ever have been satisfied if we had detained you by force? |
17279 | Had his former candour, then, been the thing his mother called it,_ indifference_ to, rather than reverence for truth? |
17279 | Had she not just come to a crisis in which her desire to abide by reason proved far stronger than the feeling which bound her to Halsey? |
17279 | Had some army of mad persecutors invested Kirtland? |
17279 | Had the Bible in the hill been a true Bible? |
17279 | Had they chosen this, the most lonely part of their road, to fall upon them? |
17279 | Halsey had not spoken, and Susannah asked again, this time of her husband,"Can it be wrong to do as this gentleman says?" |
17279 | Hast thou not perceived that thy Bible tells thee in many different ways that God chooses not as men choose?" |
17279 | Hath any revelation been granted to her?" |
17279 | Have they any signs and wonders up at your place? |
17279 | Have they got him safe? |
17279 | He even laid his hand upon her bridle with authority,"Are ye going to stop at Rigdons''all night?" |
17279 | He paused before her, asking with reflective curiosity,"Why are you so sure that it would be wickedness, sister?" |
17279 | How could a stone help you?" |
17279 | How could she be sure when she was so young and dependent? |
17279 | How could they appear only to you and vanish again? |
17279 | How do you begin?" |
17279 | How long have you been at Nauvoo?" |
17279 | How long would she remember any word that he chanced to say to her? |
17279 | How long would that last? |
17279 | How many? |
17279 | If Ephraim were not dead what could be the explanation of this silence? |
17279 | If I''d known these fellows had come back, do you suppose I''d have let you go?" |
17279 | If it was part of his eccentricity to be willing to listen to her, why should she not be willing to speak, and thus keep his madness under control? |
17279 | If thou shouldst deny the outward signs, is it not by his grace that we live? |
17279 | If ye come to that, why was I chosen to lead this people? |
17279 | If you can command the devil in the name of our Lord, why do n''t you do that to poor Newell Knight?" |
17279 | Is Christ divided?" |
17279 | Is he not able to provide for the healing of the nations?" |
17279 | Is it a kitten?" |
17279 | Is it true?" |
17279 | Is it your man that''s high up in the ranks of society, who has money enough to give them a good education, to feed and clothe''em? |
17279 | Is n''t that so?" |
17279 | Is that true?" |
17279 | Is that true?" |
17279 | Is there any instance in history of a people emerging from prolonged persecution with high ideals of love toward their enemies and candour?" |
17279 | It is I who require the confidence, and have I come too late?" |
17279 | It is better, dear, is n''t it?" |
17279 | Must it indeed be by means of such humiliation that she saved herself from Angel''s Church? |
17279 | No? |
17279 | Now she''s as good as there is in the modern Church, is n''t she? |
17279 | Now, Sister Susannah, is this true?" |
17279 | Shall I tell you about it?" |
17279 | Shall I tell you? |
17279 | Should she now renounce her husband''s sect, refusing to suffer with them? |
17279 | Sister Halsey, or is it not?" |
17279 | Some people were passing very near, surely they would go past in a moment? |
17279 | Suppose we stayed and they took to mauling us again, would n''t the Saints here take to fighting to protect us? |
17279 | Then after a minute he said,"Our brother gave you the money that he found on the person of your husband''s murderer?" |
17279 | There is nothing to really distress you, is there?" |
17279 | There was another pause, then he said,"Did you go before a justice of the peace?" |
17279 | Therefore Ephraim made no comment on what had passed, but asked gently,"What of last night, Susy?" |
17279 | Was it to send a message to the old home by the man whose very name must recall all its memories? |
17279 | Was she to stand babbling to him about hallucinations and gold plates? |
17279 | Was there a devil strong enough to give her to him? |
17279 | Well, then, who was it? |
17279 | Were n''t we baptized into it by being dipped in blood?" |
17279 | Were their pursuers upon them after all? |
17279 | Were you never taught anything when you were a little girl?" |
17279 | Were you very affectionate with her?" |
17279 | What did it matter whether she was tired or not? |
17279 | What did they do? |
17279 | What had that dream been concerning the river bank on the south- western side? |
17279 | What is it that has made you speak now?" |
17279 | What is the matter?" |
17279 | What will the folks say? |
17279 | What will they do to him if they lynch him?" |
17279 | What will you bet?" |
17279 | When has it been said to her that her father, dying in his worldly follies, left her destitute, the pittance she gets needing to go for his debts? |
17279 | When have I failed to do anything that I ever promised you? |
17279 | When?" |
17279 | Where had the man come by the wound? |
17279 | Where have you been living that you have not heard more of their iniquitous doings than that?" |
17279 | Where was his boasted justice? |
17279 | Who has not felt the invitation, silent, persistent, of a road that leads through a lonely land to the unseen beyond the hill? |
17279 | Why did n''t you tell me square? |
17279 | Why do you deceive yourself? |
17279 | Why inflict upon him the painful attempt to hinder her which his conscience would demand? |
17279 | Why should I be? |
17279 | Why should he go if by seeing her he could neither give her pleasure nor do her good? |
17279 | Why should n''t I hear him when you agree that much that he says is true?" |
17279 | Will your own people when they fail in business be sold, with their wives and children, as in the Old Testament?" |
17279 | With eyes wide open with horror and lips trembling, she asked,"Did they kill them, uncle?" |
17279 | Wo n''t you just step here and have a look at them? |
17279 | Yes, surely her faith in Angel''s creed had been hurt beyond recovery, and she must free herself, but how? |
17279 | You do n''t believe what aunt and uncle do, do you? |
17279 | You have found it true, what is so much reported, that the Mormons follow wicked practices?" |
17279 | You''ve been hearing, I suppose, that Mr. Smith is going to be moved to the town of Boome, and that he is going to be allowed to get his letters now? |
17279 | and the word of the Lord comes perhaps in accordance with one desire and in contradiction of another?" |
17279 | and what compensation did the Lord give for the sore temptations with which he had allowed the devil to tempt his servant? |
17279 | does thou not see him?" |
17279 | he asked, making gentle his tone as he addressed the stately widow,"or shall it be''Elvira darling''?" |
17279 | how he said that any man striking a beast in anger was thrown so far back on his road to heaven?" |
17279 | or am I to deny to them the privilege of coming to live among the Lord''s people? |
17279 | that I could live at peace with her?" |
