47316I held it up, and said:"Mr. B., how much for this relic?"
47316If due to migration, from what lands did they come?
47316If the testimony of the Eight is pure fabrication is not the testimony of the Three pure fabrication also?
47316Is it an abridged history of the ancient people who inhabited the western hemisphere?

47316Is it verily a volume of scripture?
47316Is the Church in possession of them?"
47316Is the civilization represented by these monuments really of a very high order, or was it but a step or two removed from savagery?

47316Once 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?
47316Or, at least, is it not most likely to be so?
47316Replying to the question,"Did you notice his appearance?"
47316Then there are to be difficult circumstances?
47316Therefore there was council again in heaven: What shall we do with man now?
47316These questions demand solution; but how shall we solve the problem?
47316This conflict of opinion extends to such important subjects as the following: Who were the first inhabitants of America?

46243And their works are in the dark; and they say, who seeth us; and who knoweth us?
46243Are there any qualifications that Mr. Smith should possess that he did not possess?
46243Are we not bound then to yield, at least, our faith on the side of evidence?
46243But where, we ask, is there one exception?
46243But why not confer authority by ordination, as well as reveal the everlasting gospel?
46243But will we then receive it?
46243But, we ask, can any man testify that he KNOWS a false doctrine to be true, and still not be an impostor?
46243Can a multitude of the nations of Joseph be found in Europe, Asia, or Africa, or in any of the adjoining islands?
46243Can 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?
46243Can any one show any cause why Joseph Smith should not receive the ministering of an angel?
46243Can this be said of any other people who have existed on the eastern hemisphere during the last 1700 years?
46243Can you find a scheme more perfect than the one introduced by Mr. Smith?
46243Can you find one equal to it in perfection?
46243Can you find one that contains the one- twentieth part of the truth which his system contains?
46243DIVINE AUTHORITY; OR THE QUESTION, WAS JOSEPH SMITH SENT OF GOD?
46243Dare any other societies in all the world make such a promise unto the believers in their respective systems?
46243Did Ezekiel predict the final gathering of Israel as an immediate result of the union of the two records of Joseph and Judah?
46243Did 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?"
46243Did John predict that the Saints should receive a message from heaven, commanding them to come out of Babylon?
46243Did John predict the restoration of the gospel by an angel?
46243Did Martin Luther, Wesley, Whitfield, Swedenborg, or Irving think of this?
46243Did the ancient saints teach baptism to the penitent believer for the remission of sins?
46243Do you enquire what that view is?
46243Does it not require a greater effort of mind to disbelieve such a scheme than it does to believe it?
46243Fifth.--What else besides the"everlasting gospel"does the Book of Mormon profess to contain?
46243For shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not?
46243How came Mr. Smith, if a deceiver, to think of all this?
46243How happens all this?
46243How then did Mr. Smith obtain the office of an apostle, if Moroni had no authority to ordain him to such office?
46243I answered,"Where is the church of Christ?"
46243I enquired why not?
46243I then inquired,"Are you in the church of Christ?
46243If Joseph Smith were an impostor, whence his superior wisdom?
46243If an impostor, how came Mr. Smith to discover this?
46243If such a scheme can not be credited, where is there a scheme or system in the whole world that can be credited?
46243If 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?
46243If then perfection characterizes every doctrine embraced in the great scheme of this modern prophet, who can say that he was not sent of God?
46243If, 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?
46243Now, how does this accord with the word of the Lord to Ezekiel upon the same subject?
46243Now, how does this testimony of Joseph Smith agree with the book of John''s prophecy given on the Isle of Patmos?
46243Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding?
46243Out of the twelve tribes of Israel, why did he select only a branch of one tribe to people this vast continent?
46243Reader, does not such a scheme savour very strongly of the truth?
46243Second.--In what manner does Joseph Smith declare that a dispensation of the gospel was committed unto him?
46243So did Mr. S. Did they teach the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Spirit?
46243Were there any doctrines which he advocated adverse to scriptural doctrine?
46243Were there any principles connected with his system inconsistent with the prophecies?
46243What particular event or circumstance pertaining to the dispensation, of which he professed to hold the keys, has he excluded from his system?
46243What power enervated his mind in laying the foundation of a church according to the ancient order?
46243What then is lacking?
46243What, but the power of God, could have revealed beforehand this unknown fact, demonstrated years after by actual discovery?
46243Where is there a man, no matter how great his attainments, that can show Mr. Smith''s doctrine to be false?
46243Where then is the discrepancy between the ancient and modern teachings?
46243Who can not perceive the perfect harmony between Isaiah''s prediction and Mr. Smith''s testimony?
46243Who dare oppose so great and perfect a system, without the least shadow of evidence to prove its falsity?
46243Who that has examined his mission or system impartially, can bring even one evidence against it?
46243Why did he not say, My doctrine is true, and if you will embrace it, you can be saved, and still remain where you are?
46243Why did he not, like the Irvingites, assume the apostleship without an apostle to ordain him?
46243Why did not this modern prophet, if a deceiver, form his deceptive scheme more in accordance with the opinions of the learned?
46243Why not that person be Mr. Smith?
46243Why?
46243Will not our prejudices be as great then as they are now against Mr. Smith?
46243Will they be any more ready to receive new revelations, visions, angels, or ancient sacred records than they are now?
46243and why not Mr. Smith be the instrument in the hands of God in fulfilling this prophecy?
46243or that Israel will not be gathered to their own lands through the instrumentality of more revelation?
46243or that apostles and prophets will not be restored to the earth as in ancient times?
46243or that the kingdom of God will not be set up in the latter days to break in pieces all other kingdoms?
46243or that the record of the tribe of Joseph will not be joined with the Jewish record-- the Bible?
46243or why should he choose a remnant of the tribe of Joseph to people ancient America?
46243that the Book of Mormon is not the record of Joseph, about which Ezekiel prophesied?
46243where, if not in America, has a land been peopled by a multitude of the nations of Joseph?
46243why he should not be ordained an apostle, or prophet, or receive revelations and commandments from God?
59970Did you say Joe Smith in a sermon?
59970I 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?"
59970We 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?
59970Who 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?
59970A modest fear might suggest: Who was he that he should dare to approach the great Creator''s throne?
59970Almighty God, what shall we do in such a trial as this?"
59970And had we not a right to expect foul play?
59970And where will Thy temple stand unto which all nations shall come in the last days?
59970And whither were they to go?
59970As they departed, one of the mob leaders said to another: Did n''t you feel strange when Smith took you by the hand?
59970Behold 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?
59970But the Prophet exposed them in the following words: But can they hide the Governor''s cruel order for banishment or extermination?
59970But what shall be said of men who believe and yet never saw him?
59970Can it be wondered at that he was bewildered in the labyrinth of paths, each of which claimed to be the heavenly way?
59970Can they conceal the blood of the murdered husbands and fathers, or stifle the cries of the widow and the fatherless?
59970Can they conceal the fact that twelve or fifteen thousand men, women and children have been banished from the state without trial or condemnation?
59970Can they conceal the fact that we have been imprisoned for many months, while our families, friends and witnesses have been driven away?
59970Can they conceal the facts of the disgraceful treaty of the generals with their own officers and men at Far West?
59970Citizens said: If these men do not like Nauvoo, why do they continue to reside here?
59970Did Mr. Boggs, as the controversy proceeded, remain a neutral spectator, as his first intimation had given the Mormons to understand?
59970Did 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?
59970Does any man or woman know?
59970Does not this look like many others of our prosecutions with which you are acquainted?
59970For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and in Him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing?
59970For these wrongs the Mormons ought to have some redress; yet how and where shall they seek and obtain it?
59970For what purpose?
59970Have you got the ague?"
59970He walked up to Reynolds and offered his hand, when the bandit cried out:"Do you meet me as a friend?
59970How is it with the kingdom of God?
59970How were these plundered people to find means for journeying to a land of safety?
59970I again repeat the question, What kind of a being is God?
59970I am ready to be offered a sacrifice for this people; for what can our enemies do?
59970If not, before whom shall the Mormons institute a trial?
59970If not, what can be the meaning of this?
59970In the night Joseph whispered to Dan Jones,"Are you afraid to die?"
59970Is not this a plea of justification for the loss of individuals, done in pursuance of that order?
59970Is there no chance for his escape?
59970It 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?
59970Joseph inquired:"What is the meaning of this?"
59970Joseph said:"Why do you make this threat so often?
59970Need I say, he is not guilty of the crime alleged against him by Governor Boggs?
59970Now, what do we hear in the gospel which we have received?
59970Peter W. Cownover, one of the Prophet''s friends, said to Wilson:"What is the matter with you?
59970Placing his hand upon my head, he said,"Is there no place for you, my boy?
59970Reynolds asked,"Is Jem Flack in the crowd?"
59970Shall the one become a partaker of glory, and the other be consigned to hopeless perdition?
59970Shall they apply to the courts of the state of Missouri?
59970Shall they apply to the federal courts?
59970Shall they apply to the legislature of the state of Missouri for redress?
59970Shall they summon a jury of the individuals who composed the mob?
59970The Prophet said,"Do you not believe in Jesus Christ?"
59970The all- absorbing question with him was: Which of these churches is the church of Christ?
59970The 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?
59970The 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?
59970Then will ye longer deny the Christ, or can ye behold the Lamb of God?
59970Then, after a little time, his angel came once more and said:"Joseph, why are you here?"
59970Then, sir, why is it that he should be so cruelly pursued?
59970Thus blinded, how could mankind offer true worship to the Lord of heaven and earth?
59970To do what?
59970Was it the Mormons or our enemies who first commenced these difficulties?
59970Was not this almost a mockery of the people''s disasters?
59970Were such fish to be caught with Spaulding''s tedious romance and a puerile fable of undecipherable gold plates and gigantic spectacles?
59970What constitutes the kingdom of God?
59970What could we do under the circumstances different from what we did do?
59970What do you say to the case of the penitent thief?
59970What would be their fate in the great hereafter?
59970What, then, we would respectfully ask, is the remedy of the Mormons?
59970When next they were to begin their labor, Joseph was at first silent; and then he exclaimed:"Martin, what is the matter?
59970When will Zion be built up in her glory?
59970When will the wilderness blossom as the rose?
59970Where can we turn our eyes to behold such another?
59970Where did the kingdom of God begin?
59970While they stood talking Joseph put his hand upon Foster''s vest and said:"What have you concealed there?"
59970Who can say that a restoration of the Gospel of Peace was not necessary in such an age?
59970Who ordered out the Nauvoo Legion?
59970Who will say that the"Mormon"Prophet is not among the great spirits of the age?
59970Whom shall they sue?
59970Why are they then baptized for the dead?
59970Why is it that I must be made accountable for other men''s acts?
59970Why not give him the privilege of the laws of this state?
59970Why not?"
59970Why, then, should we be dragged to Carthage, where the law does not compel us to go?
59970Yet 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?
59970and who would not be the sufferer?
59970do you mean that I may say anything I please, and that you will make no reply?"
59970have I not seen it?
59970to feed their hungry, and clothe their naked with the$ 2,000?
45619Ah,said I,"what has Joseph Smith done, that you should want to kill him?"
45619Be you Baptists?
45619Did you ever read that book?
45619Did 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?"
45619I suppose,said I,"you intend to kill me, with the rest?"
45619It is I,said Joseph;"is my father yet alive?
45619Mother,he cried,"in the name of God, what is this host of men doing here?
45619Mr. Cole,said he,"what right have you to print the Book of Mormon in this manner?
45619Now, Lovisa,I replied,"do you know what ails you?
45619Now, stopsaid I,"do you not know that we have never asked you for money or property?
45619Then must I,said Joseph,"return with such a tale as this?
45619Then,said Dr. Stone,"will you drink some brandy?"
45619Well, I do n''t know,said she;"where be you going?"
45619What be they? 45619 What be you?"
45619Will you take some wine?
45619Yes,said Joseph,"I see you have; but you have not come to take off my leg, have you, sir?"
45619A''nt ye going to kill''i m?"
45619After hearing me through, the gentlemen said,"Can we see the manuscript, then?"
45619After talking a short time to them, she stopped, and, turning to her mother, said,"Mother, will you get me something to eat?
45619After 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?
45619And have I not an equal privilege with the ancient saints?
45619And how shall I appear before the Lord?
45619And 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?
45619And upon what righteous principle has all this been brought about?
45619And where were his children?
45619And why is it so?
45619And why not?
45619And 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?
45619Another replied,"A''nt ye going to kill''i m?
45619Are they robbing or stealing?
45619Are we not in far better circumstances in our present situation?"
45619Are you a mother who has been bereft of a child?
45619At this, Daniel said,"Now, gentlemen, these men are drowning; who will assist them at the risk of his life?"
45619Being surprised she said,"Why do you ask me?
45619Brother Sidney says the keys of the kingdom are taken from us, and where is the use of bringing Joseph here?"
45619But will all this purchase an assurance for me, and waft me to the regions of eternal day, with my garments spotless, pure and white?
45619Can it be?
45619Can you look full in my eye, and say before God, that you have in reality found a Record, as you pretend?"
45619Can you not realize that all things were made by him, and that he rules over the works of his own hands?
45619Colonel Wight said,"What shall we do?
45619Deacon 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?"
45619Did the Lord hear our petition?
45619Do you not know that we have secured the copyright?"
45619For 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?
45619Has peace, indeed, been taken from the world?
45619Have any of you lacked?
45619Have not I set food before you every day, and made you, who had not provided for yourselves, as welcome as my own children?
45619Have they ever lifted a finger to earn any part of that which they now claim?
45619He took Arthur by the hand, and said:-- My son, I have given you my youngest, darling child, and will you be kind to her?
45619He was surprised at being accosted in this manner, and replied,"What do you mean, sir?
45619He, starting up, exclaimed,"Is it possible that this is Mother Smith?
45619His father then said,"Did you see them?"
45619Hyrum was much surprised at finding him there, and remarked,"How is it, Mr. Cole, that you are so hard at work on Sunday?"
45619Hyrum, observing this, said"Martin, why do you not eat; are you sick?"
45619I appealed to the principal surgeon, saying,"Dr. Stone, can you not make another trial?
45619I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God?
45619I 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?"
45619I wondered at what I saw, and said in my heart, What can be the meaning of all this?
45619If any one of them be right, which is it?
45619In the midst of this war of words, and tumult of opinion, I often said to myself, What is to be done?
45619Is this a land of rights?
45619It was then asked"How shall we prevent the printing of this book?"
45619John, turning suddenly, cried out,"Joseph, is this you?"
45619Joseph 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?
45619Joseph who had not expressed his fears till now, sprang from the table, exclaiming,"Martin, have you lost that manuscript?
45619Just then a man on shore cried,"Is the Book of Mormon true?"
45619My brothers-- where are they?"
45619My husband did not observe his appearance, and immediately exclaimed,"Joseph, why are you so late?
45619Now tell me what can be the trouble that makes you thus dispirited?"
45619Of what rebuke am I not worthy from the angel of the Most High?"
45619Oliver Cowdery came home that evening, and, after relating the whole affair with much solemnity, he said,"Mother, what shall I do with the manuscript?
45619Or, is he a respecter of persons?
45619Or, 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?
45619Shall freedom''s banner be no more unfurled?
45619Shall we buy their books and allow our families to read them?"
45619She would say,"Now, Joseph, are you not telling me a lie?
45619Smith.--"Why, sir, did you purchase that note?
45619So I asked myself,''What motive can I have in traveling here, and what place can this be?''
45619Supposing it was the man who came after me, I replied,"The Lord''s Anointed?
45619The keys of the kingdom are taken from us, and what shall we do?"
45619Then looking up into my face, his eyes swimming in tears, he continued,"Now, mother, promise me that you will not stay, will you?
45619Then observed again, in a quite indifferent manner,"Oh, Mr. Stevens, how much did Brother Smith''s adventure bring?"
45619They being seated, I addressed them thus:"Gentlemen, what can you do to save my boy''s leg?"
45619Was not Isaac Abraham''s son?
45619What are they about?"
45619What can atone For the pure blood of innocence thou''st sown?
45619What do you mean by the Lord''s Anointed?"
45619What shall I do?
45619When they reentered the house, I said,"Hyrum, is it a reality?
45619Where are thy far- famed laws, Columbia, where Thy boasted freedom-- thy protecting care?
45619Where is your confidence in God?
45619Where is your faith?
45619Who, of all these parties, are right?
45619Why could not Jacob rest contented upon the word spoken to his fathers?
45619Why the opposition and persecution that arose against me, almost in my infancy?
45619Why 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?
45619Why was not the first promise as sure for Isaac as it was for Abraham?
45619Will you do as I tell you?"
45619You certainly was in no want of the money?"
45619and could he not place implicit confidence in the veracity of his father as being a man of God?
45619and how shall I know it?
45619do you want to fight?
45619has anything happened to you?
45619have you broken your oath, and brought down condemnation upon my head as well as your own?"
45619my father, shall I?"
45619or only a sham to startle us?"
45619or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen?
45619or, are they all wrong together?
45619said she,"what shall we do?
45619said the gentleman,"Do you not consider us human beings?
45619shall thy purple hand Spread utter destruction through the land?
45619was it not all sown yesterday?"
45619what is the matter?
45619what shall we do?
45619what will you?"
45619where are they?"
45619where 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?''
47091And are you sure that it was the devil?
47091And did not he cast him out of you?
47091And had not Joe Smith some hand in its being done?
47091Can He beget in return?
47091Did he not obtain them of you by telling you that he had a revelation to the effect that he was to have them?
47091Did not he go to you and tell you that an angel had appeared unto him and authorized him to get the horse from you?
47091Has He paternity, or productive virtue without paternity?
47091Have you had your pay?
47091If He be the Word, did He emanate from God in time or before time?
47091If He emanated from God, is He co- eternal and of the_ same_, that is_ identical_, substance with Him, or merely of a_ similar_ substance?
47091Is He distinct from the Father, that is, separate from Him, or is He not?
47091Is He made or begotten?
47091Pray, what did he look like?
47091Well, how had he the horse of you?
47091When the Lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
47091Why, 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?
4709130. Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?
4709131. Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?
47091And 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?
47091And Enoch said unto the Lord, How is it that thou canst weep, seeing thou art holy, and from all eternity to all eternity?
47091And again Enoch wept and cried unto the Lord, saying, When shall the earth rest?
47091And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?
47091And also for the punishment of those who introduce or harbor them?
47091And consulted for a long time, saying among themselves, What need hath my lord of this tower, seeing this is a time of peace?
47091And for this cause the Lord said unto Peter: If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
47091And it came to pass that Enoch cried unto the Lord, saying, When the Son of Man cometh in the flesh, shall the earth rest?
47091And 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?
47091And it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan and said: Who art thou?
47091And now what remains to be done, under circumstances like these?
47091And now, behold, you have received a witness, for if I have told you things which no man knoweth, have you not received a witness?
47091And the Lord said unto me: John, my beloved, what desirest thou?
47091And the servant said unto his lord, When shall these things be?
47091And then received ye spirits which ye could not understand, and received them to be of God, and in this are ye justified?
47091And then shall the Jews look upon me and say, What are these wounds in Thine hands and in Thy feet?
47091And when Enoch heard the earth mourn, he wept, and cried unto the Lord, saying, O Lord, wilt thou not have compassion upon the earth?
47091And when did poverty become a crime known to the law?
47091And while they were yet laying the foundation thereof, they began to say among themselves, And what need hath my lord of this tower?
47091And, again, I say unto you, that whoso having knowledge, have I not commanded to repent?
47091Another replied:"_ Ai n''t ye going to kill''i m?
47091Are the four beasts limited to individual beasts, or do they represent classes or orders?
47091Art thou a brother or brethren?
47091Behold canst thou read this without rejoicing and lifting up thy heart for gladness?
47091Blessed 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?
47091But where learned Abel to offer sacrifice if not from his father Adam?
47091But, brethren, if the Lord will, I should like to know what the honest in heart shall do?
47091Concerning the question, he asked God--"Which of all the sects is right, and which shall I join?"
47091Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter?
47091Do not the laws of Missouri provide abundantly for the removal from the state of all free negroes and mulattoes( except certain privileged ones)?
47091For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of His Only Begotten; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee?
47091For behold, and lo, vengeance cometh speedily upon the ungodly as the whirlwind, and who shall escape it?
47091For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land?
47091For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift?
47091For, do you not behold that I have given unto my servant Joseph sufficient strength, whereby it is made up?
47091He said:"And again, what do we hear?
47091His seeking knowledge from God upon this very question--"which of all the sects is right?"
47091How came he to offer sacrifice of the firstlings of his flock?
47091I ask again, to whom shall blame be attached for this tragedy?
47091I 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?
47091I 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?
47091If any one of them be right, which is it, and how shall I know it?
47091In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinions, I often said to myself, what is to be done?
47091Is 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?
47091Is it not so, surely?
47091Is this true?
47091May not the prophecy of Enoch have been among the scriptures with which Abraham was acquainted?
47091Might not this money be given to the exchanges?
47091Mr. Jonathan Thompson was next called up and examined:"Has not the prisoner, Joseph Smith Jun., had a yoke of oxen of you?"
47091Mr. Knight was sworn, and Mr. Seymour interrogated him as follows:"Did the prisoner, Joseph Smith, Jun., cast the devil out of you?"
47091Now, unto what shall I liken the children of Zion?
47091One cried,"Simonds, Simonds,_ where''s the tar bucket_?"
47091Or canst thou be humble and meek, and conduct thyself wisely before me?
47091Or canst thou run about longer as a blind guide?
47091Q.--What is the sea of glass spoken of by John, 4th chapter, and 6th verse of the Revelations?

47091Some one said,''Here is Mrs. Johnson with a lame arm; has God given any power to man now on the earth to cure her?''
47091To whom shall blame be attached in this tragedy?
47091Unto what shall I liken these kingdoms, that ye may understand?

47091When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which has gone forth out of me?
47091When shall the blood of the Righteous be shed, that all they that mourn may be sanctified, and have eternal life?
47091When will Zion be built up in her glory, and where will Thy temple stand, unto which all nations shall come in the last days?"
47091When will my Creator sanctify me that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?
47091Where was room for doubt?
47091Wherefore, I, the Lord, ask you this question, Unto what were ye ordained?
47091Who of all these parties are right; or, are they all wrong together?
47091Why the opposition and persecution that arose against me, almost in my infancy?
47091Why then, do you wreak your fury against the temples, when this surely is not to persuade, but to use force?
47091Wilt thou not bless the children of Noah?
47091Would not the epistle on the"common salvation"be as important as the one the only one we now have from Jude''s pen?

47707After he went out, I asked some of the guard what was the matter with General Clark, that made him appear so ridiculous?
47707And for what cause?
47707And from whom receivest thou thy power and blessings, but from God?
47707And now what did they hate us for?
47707And now, brethren, we say unto you-- what more can we enumerate?
47707And the reason is very obvious, because it is said, that"Out of Sion shall come the deliverer;"and for what cause?
47707And to what end?
47707And what people had Isaiah reference to?"
47707And where is the pavilion that covereth Thy hiding place?
47707And why are they not chosen?
47707Are not their consciences seared as with a hot iron?
47707Are states such entities as may be held to an accounting for breaches of public faith and public morals-- constitutional immoralities?
47707Are they not murderers then at heart?
47707At that time Judge King retorted upon us again, saying,"Gentlemen, are you not going to introduce some witnesses?"
47707But can they hide the governor''s cruel order for banishment or extermination?
47707But how shall the truth of this be established beyond reasonable doubt?
47707But my heart says, Where is he whose lips used to whisper the words of life to us?
47707But to what tribe of Israel was it to be delivered?
47707But whar mout you live, stranger?"
47707But what of Missouri?
47707Can it be possible that he did not know how utterly unjustifiable the present movement against them was?
47707Can they conceal the blood of the murdered husbands and fathers, or stifle the cries of the widows and the fatherless?
47707Can they conceal the fact that twelve or fifteen thousand men, women and children, have been banished from the state without trial or condemnation?
47707Can they conceal the fact that we have been imprisoned for many months, while our families, friends and witnesses have been driven away?
47707Can they conceal the facts of the disgraceful treaty of the generals with their own officers and men at the city of Far West?
47707Colonel Wight said,"What shall we do?
47707Colonel Wight then asked him what should be done?
47707Did she pay any penalty for her wrong- doing?
47707Did you gaze on this deed of blood?
47707Did you say you cotched one on''em?
47707Did you see your companion in arms thus massacred?"
47707Do I not hold the destinies of all the armies of the nations of the earth?
47707Do the Mormons send missionaries to foreign nations?
47707Do you not know, have you not heard, that there is over you an all- hearing ear and an all- seeing eye?

47707Fourth--"How and where did you obtain the Book of Mormon?"
47707Have I not made the earth?
47707He replied in the same rough and careless manner,''You d----d rascals, what is yours?''
47707How do you account for their acts?
47707How have we come at the Priesthood in the last days?
47707How is this to be done?
47707How long, O Lord, wilt thou not avenge the blood of the Saints?
47707How, then, your petitioners would ask, can it be possible that the prisoner has committed treason?
47707I had five small children; we suffered hunger, fatigue and cold; for what?
47707I know not how soon these things will take place; but with a view of them, shall I cry peace?

47707Is there no virtue in the body politic?
47707Let 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?
47707Nineteenth--"Is not the canon of the Scriptures full?"
47707Ninth--"What signs does Joseph Smith give of his divine mission?"
47707Now do you not know that the Lord sent me already many hard tribulations?
47707Now 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?
47707Now the question is, unto whom is this dispensation to be given?
47707Now what is this other Comforter?
47707Now, I ask, what is a dispensation?
47707Now, we ask, what is man?
47707O, my father, what are the men going to do with you?
47707One of the women came up, and very candidly inquired of the troops which of the prisoners was the Lord{ 201} whom the"Mormons"worshiped?
47707Or by whom to be revealed?
47707P. S.--If you do not intend to be in Quincy this week, would you favor us with your opinion on this subject?
47707Questions by Elias Higbee:"What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52nd chapter, 1st verse, which saith, put on thy strength O Zion?
47707Second--"Wherein do you differ from other sects?"
47707Seventeenth--"Does not''Joe''Smith profess to be Jesus Christ?"
47707Seventh--"Do the Mormons believe in having more wives than one?"
47707Shades of Franklin, Jefferson and Washington, were you there?
47707Sixteenth--"If the Mormon doctrine is true, what has become of all those who died since the days of the Apostles?"
47707Sixth--"Do the Mormons believe in having all things in common?"
47707Tenth--"Was not Joseph Smith a money digger?"
47707That all your deeds will be written in a book and judged hereafter?
47707That many sorrows do vex me?
47707The Son of Man hath descended below them all; art thou greater than he?
47707The mob cried out,"Dick Weldin''s dead; who killed Dick?"
47707The only consolation they received from the mob, under these circumstances, was,"G---- d---- you, do you believe in Joe Smith now?"
47707The woman then turning to me inquired whether I professed to be the Lord and Savior?
47707Then what?
47707There are many things published that they say are true, and again turn around and say they are false?"
47707Therefore will I not make solitary places to bud and to blossom, and to bring forth in abundance, saith the Lord?
47707They immediately hailed him, and cried out,''Say, stranger, G----d d---- you, what is your name?''
47707They said,"Then you, as a rational man, will give up Joseph Smith''s being a prophet and an inspired man?
47707Third--"Will everybody be damned, but Mormons?"
47707Thirteenth--"Are the Mormons abolitionists?"
47707Turley asked him,"Why is not the translation now{ 308} true?"
47707Twelfth--"Do the people have to give up their money when they join his Church?"
47707Twentieth--"What are the fundamental principles of your religion?"
47707Was it because we were liars?
47707Was it for committing adultery that we were assailed?
47707Were He alive today who, think you, would be nearer His heart,--the persecuted or the persecutors?"
47707What art thou, O man, but dust?
47707What compromise need there be, Judge King, for no"Mormons"had refused to surrender to the requisitions of the law?
47707What is Boggs or his murderous party, but wimbling willows upon the shore to catch the flood- wood?
47707What is it that he says?
47707What is my offense, I believe in God and revelation?''
47707What is the cause of these Missouri persecutions?
47707What is the rod spoken of in the first verse of the 11th chapter of Isaiah that should come of the Stem of Jesse?
47707What is the root of Jesse spoken of in the 10th verse of the 11th chapter?
47707What power shall stay the heavens?
47707What was to be done in this extremity?
47707While the people will lie and the authorities will uphold them, what justice can honest men expect?
47707Whitmer asked,"Do you hint at me?"
47707Why I''d a tho''t you''d a kilt him on the spot; what have you done with him?''
47707Why do you startle at this, brethren?
47707Why hast thou forsaken that law, and accepted instead of it lying and vanity?
47707Why is this violence done to the principle of religious freedom, a principle that is both the pride and boast of the American people?
47707Why not keep to truth and justice?
47707Why should the authorities of the state strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?
47707Why was this?
47707Why, then, these bonds?"
47707Why?
47707Will you have them do so?
47707Witness replied,"Why not?"
47707Would 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?
47707and I must die, for I can not live without him?''
47707and 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?
47707they re not out of prison, are they?''
47707where art Thou?
47707will 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?''
47192And 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?
47192But,said they,"is there not some one among you{ 70} whom you call your captain, or leader, or who is superior to the rest?"
47192How, then, shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? 47192 Jesus saith unto them, Have you understood all these things?
47192Well,said the scoffer,"what did you gain on this useless journey to Missouri with Joseph Smith?"
47192What thing?
47192Where are you going?
47192And besides, are not those who hold slaves, persons of ability, discernment and candor?
47192And further, if he was accepted of God, what were the ordinances performed further than the offering of the firstlings of the flock?
47192And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
47192And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
47192And how shall they hear without a preacher?
47192And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
47192And if Abel was taught of the coming of the Son of God, was he not taught also of His ordinances?
47192And if it had ordinances what were they?
47192And if it was the Gospel, and that preached in the name of Christ, had it any ordinances?
47192And if you were afraid that your horses and property would be stolen in a strange country, would you not watch and keep guards?"
47192And is not the Gospel the news of the redemption?
47192And now, I ask, how righteousness and truth are going to sweep the earth as with a flood?
47192And now, why tarriest thou?
47192And what shall others receive who do not labor faithfully, and continue to the end?
47192And what was he to receive?
47192And why?
47192Are not such manifestly fitter witnesses than those who are untried?
47192Are our people bound to pay the ferriage on their return?
47192Are they to be accounted wholly deplorable, or as part of that experience of the Church which makes for advancement?
47192Are they to be found?
47192As for the calamitous events of the Church during the Kirtland period, what shall we say of them?
47192But I speak concerning my churches abroad-- there are many who will say, where is their God?
47192But if this life is all, then why this constant toiling, why this continual warfare, and why this unceasing trouble?
47192But what after all are such periods but times of purification, of cleansing?
47192But what of the world-- what of men?
47192But what saith He to His disciples?
47192Can we mistake such language as this?
47192Can we suppose that He has a kingdom without laws?
47192Consequently have need of nothing to govern or regulate them?
47192Could it flourish?
47192Could it prosper?
47192Did I say congregations would gnash their teeth at you?
47192Do not they need some such evidence back of those who shall testify of a new dispensation of the Gospel?
47192Do they not expect to give an account at the bar of God for their conduct in this life?
47192Do we not descend below our own knowledge, and the better wisdom which heaven has endowed us with, by such a course of conduct?
47192Do we not offer violence to our own good judgment when we deny the second coming of the Messiah?
47192Do we offer violence to the Supreme Intelligence of heaven, when we admit the truth of its teachings, and do not obey them?
47192Does your conduct merit such censures as exist against you?
47192Eight-- Shall any intelligence relative to the building up of Zion be withheld from the Council of Zion?
47192Fifth-- By what authority was one of the High Councilors disfellowshiped in the name of the High Council without their knowledge?
47192For a moment reflect: what could have been the purpose of our Father in giving to us a law?
47192Fourth-- Have two presidents authority to lay out a city, and build a House of God; independent of the counsel of the High Council?
47192From whence, then, hath it tares?
47192Had you not fought the good fight, and kept the faith, could you expect to receive?
47192Has not bitter experience taught you that they are the same now?
47192Have you a promise of receiving a crown of righteousness from the hand of the Lord, with the Church of the First Born?
47192He finally asked:"Does Mr. Smith live here?"
47192He then asked:"Wherein do you differ from other Christian denominations?"
47192He then read the revelation,[ 10] and said: Have you desired this ministry with all our hearts?
47192How 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?
47192How could a government be conducted with harmony if its administrators were possessed with such different dispositions and different principles?
47192How is it that these old Apostles should say so much on the subject of the coming of Christ?
47192How will the serpent ever lose his venom, while the servants of God possess the same disposition, and continue to make war upon it?
47192How, then, is the Lord to dwell in Zion if Zion be not built up?
47192I said they were snakes''eggs-- eat snakes''eggs, will you?
47192I 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?
47192If I could or could not, would this be an honor or dishonor to me?
47192If in any other name, was it the Gospel?
47192If not, to what end serves the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and why was it ever communicated to us?
47192If not, was it the Gospel?
47192If 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?
47192If the Saints are not to reign, for what purpose are they crowned?
47192If the Savior in former days laid His hands upon His disciples, why not in latter days?
47192If the fact were learned first by those immediately concerned, who would be more capable than they of prescribing a remedy?
47192If 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?
47192If there is, why not that Being who had power to place us here, inform us something of the hereafter?
47192Is there nothing further; is there no existence beyond this vail of death which is so suddenly to be cast over all of us?
47192May not the Lord have designed in part this expedition of Zion''s Camp for their instruction, for their training?
47192Now if God should give no more revelations, where will we find Zion and this remnant?
47192Now, before proceeding any farther, I wish to ask one or two questions: Were the Apostles men of God, and did they preach the Gospel?
47192Now, what is like unto it?
47192Or do we believe that it is composed of an innumerable company of beings who are entirely beyond all law?
47192Remember, brethren, that He has called you unto holiness; and need we say, to be like Him in purity?
47192Second-- By what authority was a committee appointed and ordained to superintend the building of the House of the Lord?
47192Shall 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?
47192Some experiences may be sad, and accounted at the time as disastrous; but are they really so?
47192The following questions were frequently put and answered:"''My boy, where are you from?''
47192The question--"Was it, or was it not, the design of Christ to establish His Gospel by miracles?"
47192The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
47192Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
47192Then who is to be the judge in this matter?
47192They granted my request, and as we passed them they bawled out,"Do you get any revelations lately?"
47192Third-- By what authority was Jacob Whitmer ordained to the High Priesthood?
47192This, then, we conclude, was the purpose of God in giving His laws to us: if not, why, or for what were they given?
47192To whom did God testify of the gifts of Abel, was it to Paul?
47192Was it that God wanted to merely show that He could talk?
47192Was it that it might be obeyed, or disobeyed?
47192Was that without significance?
47192We all admit that the Gospel has ordinances, and if so, had it not always ordinances, and were not its ordinances always the same?
47192We would reply to this gentleman, Paul we know, and Christ{ 269} we know, but who are ye?
47192What course can sooner divide our union?
47192What nearer friend on earth, or in heaven, had Judas than the Savior?
47192What order is here?
47192What then?
47192What was the cause of this?
47192What, then, could have induced him to undergo all this toil?
47192What, we ask, was this law added to, if it was not added to the Gospel?
47192When or where has God suffered one of the witnesses or first Elders of this Church to fall?
47192When will man cease to war with man, and wrest from him his sacred rights of worshiping his God according as his conscience dictates?
47192Where is one like Christ?
47192Who can rightly estimate the value of the experiences of that movement for the redemption of Zion, called Zion''s Camp?
47192Who comprehends it now?
47192Who hath counted His buffaloes?
47192Who hath seen all His deer on a thousand prairies?
47192Who hath viewed His everlasting fields?
47192Who in the Christian world taught them?
47192Who is as holy as He was?
47192Who is as perfect?
47192Who is as pure?
47192Who understood even the first principles of the doctrines of Christ?
47192Who, among all the Saints in these last days, can consider himself as good as our Lord?
47192Who, at the time comprehended the full import of this incident?
47192Why is this so?
47192Why?
47192Will a hundred dollars do you any good?"
47192Will the mere admission, that this is the will of heaven ever benefit us if we do not comply with all his teachings?
47192Would harmony prevail?
47192Would it not be asserting that man had found out a secret beyond Deity?
47192Would not such ideas be a reproach to our Great Parent, and at variance with His glorious intelligence?
47192Would order be established, and could justice be executed in righteousness in all branches of its departments?
60708And 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?"
60708Try the spirits,but what by?
60708Try the spirits,says John, but who is to do it?
60708What 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?''
60708And 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?
60708And can it be expected that a man will be called by revelation who does not believe in revelation?
60708And how can these gifts be obtained without revelation?
60708And how were Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers and Evangelists chosen?
60708And 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?
60708And many among them shall stumble"( Isaiah viii: 14, 15); but"have they stumbled that they should fall?
60708And the Lord said: Whom shall I send?
60708And was not the penalty inflicted upon them for that transgression, captivity in Babylon seventy years?
60708And what will the world say?
60708And whom did He foreknow?
60708And why did He love the one and hate the other?
60708And why have they not obtained it?
60708And why?
60708And will you not begin quickly to return with usury that which you have received?
60708And"who are the called according to His purpose?"
60708Angels 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?"
60708Are Captain Cornelius Gilliam and his company out by legal authority, or are they mobbers?
60708Are men, then, to be saved by works?
60708Are the curtains of heaven withdrawn, or the purposes of God developed?
60708Are we able to receive it?
60708Are we to try them by the creeds of men?
60708As soon as he had read one of them, he looked upon us with a half frown, and said,"What can I do?
60708As yet exaltest thou thyself, against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?"
60708At what period do you look for this event?
60708Because Jacob''s works had been righteous, and Esau''s wicked, and where is there a righteous father who would not do the same thing?
60708Besides, what would the venerable John Wesley,( if he{ 236} were alive) say to such conduct?
60708But 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?
60708But it may be asked how Mr. Baxter could get a sign from a second person?
60708But 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?
60708But, say you, what can we do to accomplish this great and desirable object?
60708Cain 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?"
60708Can the same be said of a similar assemblage in any other city in the Union?
60708Certainly not; and if such ignorance as this is manifested about a spirit of this kind, who can describe an angel of light?
60708Could any one tell the length, breadth or height of a building without a rule?
60708Did not the Apostle speak the truth?
60708Did those high born and noble feelings lie dormant, or were you insensible to the treatment we received?
60708Do ye not know the Saints shall judge the world?
60708Do you believe in election and reprobation?
60708Do you believe in the restitution of your nation to the land of your fathers, called the land of_ promise_?
60708Does He not reveal things differently from what we expect?
60708For these wrongs, the"Mormons"ought to have some redress; yet how and where shall they seek and obtain it?
60708Had any of us better come back this fall?
60708Have they been guilty of shedding innocent blood, to that extent since their return, that they were before they were taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar?
60708Have they ever been guilty of idolatry at all since their return from Babylon?
60708Have they seen and conversed with an angel-- or have the glories of futurity burst upon their view?
60708Have we not a right to sympathize with each other?
60708Have you no feelings of commiseration?
60708He said, if God has appointed him, and chosen him as an instrument to lead the Church, why not let him lead it through?
60708How can a man communicate that which he is not in possession of?)
60708How doth he yet speak?
60708How long, O Lord, shall iniquity triumph, and sin go unpunished?
60708How shortsighted and unstatesman- like it would have been for the men of Illinois not to have welcomed these settlers into their state?
60708How then, shall these things be accomplished and your souls be satisfied?
60708How, it may be asked, was this known to be a bad angel?
60708I prayed and God answered, but what could I do?
60708If 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?
60708If condemning and crucifying Jesus of Nazareth was not the cause of this great evil, what was the cause of it?
60708If not of all of it, which does He recognize?
60708If not, before whom shall the"Mormons"institute a trial?
60708If the keys of the Kingdom have been committed to my hands, who shall open out the mysteries thereof?
60708If the revelations we have received are true, who is to lead the people?
60708In answer to which, if repentance, baptism, and faith existed prior to the days of Christ, what necessity for them since that time?
60708Independent of this, however, where do we read of a woman that was the founder of a church, in the word of God?
60708Is God the author of all this?
60708Is Nauvoo, or Commerce, to be the general point of concentration for the Mormon people?
60708Is it not sin?
60708Is it possible that we labor in vain and toil for nought, and that we shall be disappointed at the last?
60708Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you?
60708Is not God good?
60708Is not repentance and abandonment of sin safe, so long as God commands, and stands ready to look after the consequences?
60708Is not this a plea of justification for the loss of individuals, done in pursuance of that order?
60708Is not this passiveness evidence?
60708Is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob a just God?
60708Is there any intelligence communicated?
60708Is there no chance for his escape?
60708Is this correct?
60708It is easy for us to say now, but if we had lived in her day, which of us could have unravelled the mystery?
60708It may be asked by some, what necessity for sacrifice, since the Great Sacrifice was offered?
60708It may be asked, where is there anything in all this that is wrong?
60708Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
60708Know ye not that we shall judge angels?
60708No one is excepted who hath aught in his possession, for what have ye that ye have not received?
60708None ever were perfect but Jesus; and why was He perfect?
60708Of such we would ask, who gave you your time, health, strength, and put you into business?
60708On what was anciently called Mount Zion,[ Moriah?]
60708Or can you better dispose of the property than we are doing for your interest?
60708Or is it your design to crush us with a ponderous load before we are able to walk?
60708Or shall they do business in the name of the Church?
60708Or what shall we do?
60708Or will any man submit to ordination for the fulfillment of a revelation or call, in which he hath no faith?
60708Permit me to ask whether this is a proper return for the confidence we have bestowed, and for the indulgence we have extended?
60708Shall the one become the partaker of glory and the other be consigned to hopeless perdition?
60708Shall they apply to the court of the state of Missouri?
60708Shall they apply to the federal courts?
60708Shall they apply to the legislature of the state of Missouri for redress?
60708Shall they summon a jury of the individuals who composed the mob?
60708Shall we print the Book of Mormon in this country immediately?
60708Shall we then be saved by faith?
60708She has been grievously afflicted and smitten; she has mourned; she has wept; her enemies have triumphed, and have said,''Ah, where is thy God?''
60708Should we deem it necessary to publish an edition of hymn- books in any country, are we at liberty to do it?
60708That they were to stay there?
60708The Prophet said''Do you believe in Jesus Christ?''
60708The brethren here are very anxious to emigrate to that country; some want to come this fall: where shall they go?
60708The court, after hearing the counsel, adjourned about half past six p. m. When I was at dinner, a man rushed in and said,"Which is Jo Smith?
60708The following discourse took place in our own neighborhood: Curate: What religion may you be, my good woman?
60708Then is it not right to repent of it?
60708They knew the"Mormons"were innocent, and the citizens of Missouri wrong?
60708They may have among them bad and desperate characters, and what community has not?
60708To do what?
60708To feed its hungry and clothe its naked with the$ 2,000?
60708Was not Abraham, our father, justified by works( v. 21)?
60708Were there not benefits which the Saints could bestow upon the state in return for the heartiness of the reception given?
60708What chance is there for infidelity when we are parting with our friends almost daily?
60708What church do you usually attend?
60708What greater love hath any man than that he lay down his life for his friend; then why not fight for our friend until we die?
60708What is the damnation of hell?
60708What is the matter here?
60708What is the reason that the Priests of the day do not get revelation?
60708What is the sign of the healing of the sick?
60708What then may be said of the Prophet''s claims in respect to the municipal powers of Nauvoo?
60708What then shall we do?
60708What think you should be done?
60708What think you should be done?
60708What will become of our brethren in the faith?
60708What will become of our class meetings?
60708What will become of our society?
60708What will the conference say?
60708What, then, we would respectfully ask, is the remedy of the"Mormons?"
60708When was it written?
60708When will these things cease to be, and the Constitution and the laws again bear rule?
60708When?
60708Where are those mobbers now?
60708Where can we turn our eyes to behold such another?
60708Where is it written?
60708Where is the man that is free from vanity?
60708Where is the sect, where the community, in which there can not be found some who trample under foot the laws of God and man?
60708Where was the love which ought to characterize the Saints of the Most High?
60708Where were the bowels of compassion?
60708Who can detect the spirit of the French prophets with their revelations and their visions, and power of manifestations?
60708Who could have told whether the power of Simon, the sorcerer, was of God or of the devil?
60708Who is sufficient for these things?
60708Who knows the mind of God?
60708Who shall solve the mystery?
60708Who that has a heart to feel, or a soul to rejoice, will not be glad at so glorious a plan of deliverance?
60708Who would be willing to suffer what he has suffered, and labor near twenty years, as he has done, for the wealth he is in possession of?
60708Who would not love an affectionate and obedient son more than one who was disobedient, and sought to injure Him and overthrow the order of His house?
60708Whom{ 38} shall they sue?
60708Why are they then baptized for the dead?"
60708Why are they then baptized for the dead?"
60708Why did God say to Pharaoh,"For this cause have I raised thee up"?
60708Why do I not do it?
60708Why do ye not rather take wrong?
60708Why send Elijah?
60708Why stand in the way when he is appointed to do a thing?
60708Why then this prejudice and persecution?
60708Why this wonderful change?
60708Why were they a peculiar people?
60708Why?
60708Why?
60708Why?
60708Will the Twelve have to be together to do business as a quorum?
60708Will they all be damned for not obeying the Gospel, when they never heard it?
60708Would it not have been, under all the circumstances, the gravest of blunders for Illinois to have refused asylum to these exiles?
60708You ask,"When will these things cease to be, and the Constitution and the laws again bear rule?"
60708and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
60708and no man take it to heart?
60708have I not seen it?
60708how much more things that pertain to this life?
60708inquired the other,"wherein does he teach false doctrine?"
60708new revelations in the old churches?
60708test the quality of metals without a criterion, or point out the movements of the planetary systems, without a knowledge of astronomy?
60708{ 505} why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
60708{ 573} Every one of these professes to be competent to try his neighbor''s spirit, but no one can try his own, and what is the reason?
59951Amongst the debris,says Nadaillac,"lays the bones of some gigantic ruminants( perhaps bisons?
59951But,says one,"how do you account for it being in the morning in America and in the afternoon in Jerusalem?"
59951Do 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?
59951How 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?
59951A tree one hundred feet long, or one two hundred feet long, or longer?
59951A woeful fatality, is it not?
59951A.--An idolatrous people?
59951Again I ask, who is responsible for the absence of these books?
59951And he said unto me: What desirest thou?
59951And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men?
59951And 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?
59951And the only question to be considered here is-- since the reality of the prophecy can not be questioned-- has the prophecy been fulfilled?
59951And what does this discovery prove?
59951And who will hesitate to pronounce him an imposter?
59951And why take ye And why take ye And for raiment thought for raiment?
59951Are all difficulties which they represent removed?
59951Are all the objections to the Book of Mormon satisfactorily answered?
59951Are modern books so constructed?
59951Are these errors in language to be assigned to the Urim and Thummim, or to God?
59951Are these important truths we have been considering this evening, wherein the welfare of half the world is concerned, gold or dross?
59951But are these really original productions?
59951But how small?
59951But how was this to be accounted for?
59951Can a parallel case be pointed to in the modern making of books?
59951Candidly, does the complex structure of the Book of Mormon appeal to one as at all modern in its arrangement?
59951Could he cause the glory of God more brilliant than the light of the sun at noon- day to shine about them?
59951Could it not be claimed with some force that here would be the violation of a very universal custom of the Hebrew people?
59951Did Joseph copy it from the Bible, or did the Lord adopt this identical language in revealing it to Joseph?
59951Did he bear rule over the western hemisphere?
59951Did he rule all of Europe and Africa?
59951Did his dominion extend to the western hemisphere, for there the children of men dwelt as well as in Asia?
59951Do we owe much to God for creation?
59951Do you find any Hebrew points representing vowels?
59951Do you find on these ancient writings any of these modern characters that have been introduced during the last two thousand four hundred years?
59951Do you not know, have you not heard, that there is over you an all- hearing ear and an all- seeing eye?
59951Do 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?
59951Does it comport with the attributes of impartial love towards his children?
59951Does it not cast suspicion upon the whole Spaulding theory?
59951Does it not smack rather of man''s bigotry and narrowness, and above all, of human ignorance?
59951Does the infinity of his eternal nature ebb and flow with every increase or diminution in the sum of human guilt and misery?
59951Does this prophecy really mean"wheresoever the children of men dwell,"there, too, was the rule and dominion of Nebuchadnezzar?
59951For more than raiment?
59951God a failure?
59951Had man ever died if he had never sinned?
59951Had not the day of religious persecution, at least within the enlightened republic of the new world, forever passed away?
59951Had the gospel at that time, or, for matter of that, has it at any time since then, been preached unto every creature under heaven?
59951Has anything worth while come because of the revelation of the Book of Mormon?
59951Has it filled your mind with good or bad images?
59951Has it raised your standard or lowered it?
59951Have we here the reappearance of the old Epicurean doctrine,"pleasure is the supreme good, and chief end of life?"
59951Have we not a clear right to expect and demand a recognition of these, or else a clear confutation of them?
59951Have 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?
59951Have you read the Book of Mormon?
59951He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation?
59951How could he sin, if there was no law, how could there be a law, save there was a punishment?
59951How did we lose original justice?
59951How do you prove that?
59951How 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?
59951How 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?"
59951How was it with Ariel?
59951If not, where is the evidence of their fulfillment?
59951If the conclusion as to the weight be true, would not that be difficulty enough to present?
59951In a word, shall we employ against it all the thunder of Mr. Campbell''s criticism of the Book of Mormon?
59951Is God to become more holy, more wise, more powerful hereafter; and must evil be annihilated to make room for his perfections to expand?
59951Is it gold?
59951Is it not a travesty upon the qualities of justice and mercy as we believe those qualities to exist in God?
59951Is 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?
59951Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be a forest?
59951Is not God infinitely wise and holy and powerful now?
59951Is not originality by the very nature of the claims of the Book of Mormon excluded?
59951Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
59951Is such a view as this worthy of God?
59951Is the light which the Book of Mormon throws upon the word of God contained in the four( New Testament) Gospels of importance?
59951Is there any thing whereof it may be said, see, this is new?
59951Is this statement of Paul''s literally true?
59951Is this true?
59951Know 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?
59951Lord, how long wilt thou be angry?
59951Mark how the annals of the ages teem With repetition?
59951May 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?
59951May it not be that when Jesus gave the same instructions in Judea he made a like distinction?
59951May not the matter referred to by Professor White be an interpretation of this old Jewish prophecy concerning the three days of darkness?
59951May not these prophecies be golden, especially if needed?
59951May not this prophecy of Enoch''s have been among the"scripture"with which Abraham was acquainted, mentioned above?
59951May they not have been imported?
59951Meantime, do not our opponents recognize the fact that some responsibility devolves upon them in the controversy?
59951Now do you not know that the Lord sent me already many hard tribulations?
59951Now, how could a man repent, except he should sin?
59951Now, if there was no law given-- if a man murdered he should die, would he be afraid he would die if he should murder?
59951Now, we ask, What nation upon the earth has been visited with a distress resembling that of Ariel or Jerusalem?
59951O, stop and tell me, Red Man, Who are you, why you roam, And how you get your living; Have you no God, no home?
59951O, who that has seen o''er the wide spreading plain, And read o''er the last scenes of woe?
59951Or say that his statements do not agree with the facts?
59951Or such summaries of the law of Moses as the Ten Commandments constitute?
59951Or why not take the second migration-- the Nephite-- for the accomplishment of such a purpose?
59951Q.--Are you certain that some of the names agree?
59951Q.--Did the manuscript describe an idolatrous or a religious people?
59951Q.--Did you ever read the manuscript?
59951Q.--Did you sign your name to it?
59951Q.--Does Mr. Spaulding''s manuscript and the Book of Mormon agree?
59951Q.--Does the manuscript and the Book of Mormon agree?
59951Q.--Does the manuscript describe an idolatrous or a religious people?
59951Q.--Has D. P. Hurlburt got the manuscript printed?
59951Q.--Have you read any in the Book of Mormon?
59951Q.--How large is Mr. Spaulding''s manuscript?
59951Q.--Is what is written in the letter true?
59951Q.--To Mrs. McKinstry: How old were you when your father wrote the manuscript?
59951Q.--Was your name attached to that letter, which was sent to Mr. John Storrs, by your order?
59951Q.--What agency had you in having this letter sent to Mr. Storrs?
59951Q.--Where is the manuscript?
59951Says one,"Is not this a contradiction between the Book of Mormon and the New Testament?"
59951Second: How are these errors in language to be accounted for?
59951Seest thou that thou art created after mine own image?
59951Seest thou that ye are created after mine own image[ likeness]?
59951Shall the angel of the Lord, who commanded Gideon in these priestly things, be declared a spirit of evil, a violator of God''s covenant?
59951Shall thy wrath for ever burn?
59951Shall we reject him and his book?
59951Shall we reject the prophecies of Daniel because a strict and technical construction of his language does not meet the facts?
59951She asked,"What for?"
59951Small; but small in comparison of what?
59951Suppose we were to apply it as a test of the New Testament?
59951Surely 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?
59951That all your deeds will be written in a book and judged hereafter?
59951That is to say, can these errors have been transferred from the ancient Nephite language into our English idioms?
59951That is, suppose the Book of Mormon had been full of double names, applied to the same person, what then?
59951That many sorrows do vex me?
59951The chief asked,"How many moons it would be before the Great Spirit would bless them?"
59951The only question is, Has it been fulfilled?
59951The words of the translation being read off through the stone spectacles?"
59951Their lives a failure?
59951Then, again: If the Book of Mormon is mere fiction, the idle coinage of an inventive, modern author, why three migrations?
59951Therefore take no Therefore, take no Be not solicitous thought, saying thought, saying therefore, saying: What shall we eat?
59951Third: Can these verbal errors, and errors in grammar, these modernisms and localisms arise from equivalent defects in the original Nephite records?
59951This may secure his fame for ingenuity, but what of his honesty?
59951This third kingdom is generally agreed to have reference to the kingdom of Alexander; but did Alexander"bear rule over all the earth?"
59951To do this they must have traveled thousands of miles and spent months, perhaps years, to accomplish-- what?
59951Was it for the purpose of duping the world?
59951Was knowledge in those antique times so imperfect that the author of such a remarkable production as Isaiah 40- 66 could not be ascertained?
59951Was not America in those days especially heralded as the asylum for the oppressed of every land?
59951Was 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?
59951Was there ever such an exhibition in the history of the world of such continued, such unabating, such undeviating falsehood if falsehood it was?
59951Were he alive today who, think you, would be nearer his heart-- the persecuted or the persecutors?
59951Were not the rights of conscience guaranteed by specific provisions both in the national constitution and in the state constitutions?
59951What could they gain, in any light that could be then presented to their minds, by palming such a deception upon the world?
59951What has become of them?
59951What is meant by that?
59951What is the reply to such attacks?
59951What moved God to make them?
59951What must be done to meet this dilemma?
59951What of his carrying away bodily, together with the posts and iron bar which fastened them, the huge gates of the city of Gaza?
59951What 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?
59951What of the positive evidences and arguments advanced in favor of the Book of Mormon?
59951What of this man, bare handed, meeting a lion and overcoming him?
59951What shall we eat: or, what shall we or, what shall we or what shall we drink?
59951What shall we eat?
59951What signify the words creation of heaven and earth?
59951What was found in it?
59951What were my petty difficulties compared with those afflictions which they had to endure?
59951What, then, shall we do with this inspired prophet who says he"shall bear rule over all the earth?"
59951What, then?
59951Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word?
59951Wherefore then serveth the law?
59951Who is responsible for their absence?
59951Who may tell?
59951Why hast thou forsaken that law, and accepted instead of it lying and vanity?
59951Why was it not done?
59951Why will he not show himself in this land, as well as in the land of Jerusalem?
59951Why?
59951Woe 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?
59951Worth while considering?
59951Would not the epistle on the"common salvation"be as important as that one we have from Jude''s pen?
59951Wouldst 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?
59951and does not sin exist along with that infinite holiness and wisdom and power?
59951and who knoweth us?
59951body than raiment?
59951clothed?
59951do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice?
59951faith?
59951faith?
59951his stature?
59951much more value than they?
59951one cubit?
59951or Wherewith drink, or wherewith drink, or wherewith shall we be shall we be clothed?
59951or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had not understanding?
59951shall we be clothed?
59951steer?"
59951than they?
59951thought for raiment?
59951will you give us a pearl for that which is nothing, which is of no value in itself?
59951ye not much better ye not much better Are not you of than they?
60758Can we do any good?
60758Did you ever see him?
60758Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
60758Is 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(?)
60758A 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?"
60758After which, the State''s attorney, Birch, turned to me tauntingly, saying,"Why the hell do n''t you bring on your witnesses?"
60758Again: Lived there ever such a man as Moses in Egypt?
60758And for what?
60758And had we not a right to expect foul play?
60758And 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?
60758And where was there ever a father without first being a son?
60758And who, that is ambitious for greatness and power, would not have said the same thing?
60758And will God take it from the man until He takes him Himself?
60758And{ 12} let me ask these profound sectarians, why He has not done it?
60758Are you engaged with us in this great work?
60758Are you old enough to know what you are about?
60758At the October conference following the martyrdom of the two brothers, President Brigham Young said_:"Did Joseph ordain any man to take his place?
60758Badham?"
60758But Jesus said,''Whose image and superscription is this?''
60758But allowing their false, diabolical accusations to be true, what then?
60758But do the people acknowledge the hand of God in all these things?
60758But how are they to become saviors on Mount Zion?
60758But this is not all: we mean to elect him, and nothing shall be wanting on our part to accomplish it; and why?
60758But what is the object of this important mission?
60758But where are now those principles of freedom?
60758But will the rulers of our land do it?
60758By the Court: Is your residence, Mr. Elliott, in this county?
60758Ca n''t you lend me five hundred dollars?
60758Can 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?
60758Can you do something for them?
60758Can you get an endowment in Boston or anywhere, except where God appoints?
60758Can you in this land of equal right return in safety to your possessions in Missouri?
60758Dan said,"Has that time come, think you?
60758Deponent asked,"What have you against Joseph Smith?
60758Deponent said,"Did William Law know your business?"
60758Did He ever concoct anything that was devilish for mankind?
60758Did I build on any other man''s foundation?
60758Did I not give him the liberty of disbelieving any doctrine I have preached, if he saw fit?
60758Did he ever injure you?"
60758Did the ancient Apostles, Prophets, or Saints who died pay too much for that kingdom?
60758Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?"
60758Do you ask what is wanting?
60758Do you know the source from whence you derive your knowledge?
60758Do you think I would trouble this conference with it?
60758Does it follow that he is continually to be followed for the same offense?
60758Does not this look like many others of our prosecutions with which you are acquainted?
60758Every time a line was formed in Far West, he was there-- for what?
60758For what purpose?
60758For what?
60758Foster said--"I do not feel at liberty to answer this question, under existing circumstances?"
60758General, will you stand neutral?
60758Good?
60758Had you not rather enjoy the society of Saints than sinners whom you can not love?
60758Has God forgotten to be gracious, to be merciful to mankind?
60758Has the Gospel of the kingdom commenced in the last days?
60758Has the Lord spoken in these last days, and required us to build Him a house?
60758Has the majesty of American liberty sunk into such vile servitude and oppression, that justice has fled?
60758Hast thou sought for a Daniel to declare it unto thee?
60758Hath he beheld the eternal world, and is he authorized to say that there is only one God?
60758Have I asked you for your money?
60758Have you not received the Gospel?
60758Have you not received the Holy Ghost, by receiving the Gospel which we have brought unto you?
60758He further asked if he ever preached anything like the"plurality of wife"doctrine to her other than what he had preached in public?
60758How are we to keep peace in the city, defend ourselves against mobs, and keep innocent blood from being shed?
60758How came you here?
60758How do you like to go into other Churches and hear them abuse us?
60758How much are one and one?
60758How much is one from two?
60758How stands the matter when it is investigated-- investigated by a Missouri court?
60758I again asked him--"Did I ever misuse you?"
60758I am ready to be offered a sacrifice for this people; for what can our enemies do?
60758I ask, Did I ever exercise any compulsion over any man?
60758I inquired what they would do with those people of Nauvoo who would not fight?
60758I insert the following article from the_ Times and Seasons_:-- WHO SHALL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT?
60758I replied, I should think he was a rascal: but who has had such a trial as that?
60758I said,"Do you call that democracy or mobocracy?"
60758I then asked Justice Aaron Johnson--"Did I ever make oath before you against Simpson?"
60758I then asked him if Hyrum could be put in his way so that no man would mistrust him, would you kill him?
60758I then asked him--"Have I ever misused you any way?"
60758I then asked--"Did I ever wrong you in deal, or personally misuse you in any shape?"
60758I then said:"If we undertake that, Governor, when the proper time comes, will you interfere?"
60758I wish to ask if ever I got any of it unfairly?
60758I would ask the Latter- day Saints, Do you know your benefactors?
60758I would ask, who built up this city?
60758If I have not reproved you in the gate?
60758If a man leaves the principles of the doctrine of Christ, how can he be saved in the principles?
60758If he was guilty of breaking jail, why not try and punish him for that before that court?
60758If indignation, how would you curse the heartless wretches that have so desecrated and polluted the temple of liberty?
60758If not, what can be the meaning of all this?
60758If the Catholic church is bad, how can any good thing come out of it?
60758If the Catholic religion is a false religion, how can any true religion come out of it?
60758If the angels found a God in heaven able to give instructions, shield them from sword and famine,& c., why have we not found Him?
60758If the whole tree is corrupt, are not its branches corrupt?
60758If this is the best, the most patriotic, the most free, what is the situation of the rest?
60758If we are ignorant, what knowledge have the rest of the people?
60758If we pass only a fine or imprisonment, have we any confidence that they will desist?
60758If you do not, your turn may come next; and where will it cease?
60758If, then, our charter gives us the power to decide what shall be a nuisance, and cause it to be removed, where is the offense?
60758If, 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?
60758In a short time after my guide came and said aloud,"Joseph, Joseph, what are you doing there?"
60758In the presence of such difficulties, what was to be done?
60758Is he still illegally and unconstitutionally to be held in abeyance by these miscreants?
60758Is it not the principle of the Saints to mingle together and promote the great cause in which they are engaged?
60758Is it written?
60758Is liberty only a name?
60758Is protection of person and property fled from free America?
60758Is there no power anywhere to redress our grievances?
60758Is there wisdom in Zion?
60758Is this the gracious boon for which your fathers fought and struggled and died?
60758It shall be said in time to come, Where are our old policemen?
60758James A. McCanse was called by the court and asked,"Do you subscribe to the decision of Mr. Johnson in the matter?"
60758Jesus, 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?
60758Joseph replied,"Yes; what shall we do, Brother Hyrum?"
60758Joseph said to Rockwell,"What shall I do?"
60758Joseph then turned to Hyrum, who was talking with Cahoon, and said,"Brother Hyrum, you are the oldest, what shall we do?"
60758Judging from what is past, how will it be when God sets up His kingdom in the last days?
60758Marshal Greene asked one of the officers if anything was destroyed except what belonged to the press?
60758Mayor put his finger on it and said--"What is that?"
60758Mayor stepped through the door into the entry by the foot of the stairs, and the General( Mayor) asked him what he wished?
60758Men have a right to take and read what papers they please;"but do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
60758Missouri lacks the disposition and Congress lacks both the disposition and power(?
60758Mr. Doniphan said--"You little devil you, what are you doing here with this fire?"
60758Mr. Stigall went out, and Joseph said to Dr. Richards,"If we go into the cell, will you go in with us?"
60758Must I, then, be thrown away as a thing of naught?
60758Now was this merely confined to the living, to settle difficulties with{ 252} families on earth?
60758Now, let me ask one for facts; Was there ever such a place on the earth as Egypt?
60758Now, 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?
60758Now, will you help us to build the Nauvoo House and Temple?
60758Now, ye Elders, will you be faithful?
60758O humanity, where hast thou hidden thyself?
60758On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union?
60758Or could you, even the speculators, have sold your lands for anything here, if the Saints had not come?
60758Patriotism?
60758Paul, what do you say?
60758Perhaps some of you are ready to ask,"Can not the Lord save us as well where we are as to gather together?"
60758President, U.S., who shall be our next?, 39.
60758Question: Who?
60758Says one, Suppose we are not satisfied that this is the work of God?
60758Shall our national banner, which floated so proudly in the breeze at the Declaration of Independence, be disgraced and refuse to show its motto?
60758Shall the liberty which our fathers purchased at so dear a price be wrenched from the hand of their children?
60758Shall we suffer our pockets to be picked through the influence of these scoundrels eternally, by defending ourselves against vexatious lawsuits?
60758Shall wisdom cry aloud, and her speech not be heard?
60758The first question then is, What is a mathematical problem?
60758The 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?
60758The question is frequently asked"Can we not be saved without going through with all these ordinances,& c.?"
60758The same morning after Hyrum had made ready to go-- shall it be said to the slaughter?
60758The same witnesses reply,_ Certainly._ And was he a Prophet?
60758Then why query about it?
60758This stranger asked--"Where are{ 139} those men going?"
60758Under these circumstances, the question again arises, Whom shall we support?
60758Was Eli Norton of the police?
60758Was it the Mormons or our enemies who first commenced these difficulties?
60758We had been outrageously imposed upon, and knew not how far we could trust anyone; besides, a question necessarily arose, how shall we come?
60758We have come out to reap, but do we have time to reap new grain?
60758We have found these men covenant- breakers with God, with their wives,& c. Have we any hope of their doing better?
60758We went through and told the Saints these things; but did the churches do as God commanded?
60758We wonder whether they now believe that they are, or not?
60758Were we maturing plans to corrupt the world, to destroy the peace of society?
60758What are we to say about these kidnappers who infest our borders and carry away our citizens-- those infernals in human shape?

60758Why is it that I must be held accountable for other men''s acts?
60758Why start presses to destroy rights and privileges, and bring upon us mobs to plunder and murder?

60758Why, then, must the citizens of this place be scourged with such attempts?
60758Why, then, should we be dragged to Carthage, where the law does not compel us to go?
60758Why?
60758Will it be called treason, if the God of heaven should set up a kingdom?
60758Will it be popular or unpopular?
60758Will it suit the politics of the majority?
60758Will 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?
60758Will this be clear enough?
60758Will you come?
60758Would steamboats have landed here, if the Saints had not come?
60758Would you confine your work to the living alone?
60758Would 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?
60758Wouldst thou know the interpretation thereof?

60736Who could point out a Pastor, a Teacher, or an Evangelist by their appearance, yet had they the gift of the Holy Ghost?
60736Who ever did that?
60736Who ever had so great a privilege or glory?
60736Who ever led the Son of God into the waters of baptism, beholding the Holy Ghost descend upon him in the sign of a dove?
60736Who is able to make war with him?"
60736Who is it that has made his affidavit that Joseph Smith has been accessory to shooting him?
60736Who knows it?
60736Who was trusted with such a mission before or since?
60736Who''s Governor Carlin?
60736Whoever had so great a privilege and glory?
60736Whoever had such a trust committed to him before or since?
60736Whoever had the honor of doing that?
60736Why did He not prove His mission by working a miracle and coming down?
60736Why did not God deliver Micaiah from the hands of his persecutors?
60736Why did not Jeremiah"work a miracle or two"to help him out of the dungeon?
60736Why did not Paul, by a miracle, prevent the people from stoning and whipping him?
60736Why did not Zachariah, by a miracle, prevent the people from slaying him?
60736Why did not our Savior come down from the cross?
60736Why gather the people together in this place?
60736Why have the canker remaining any longer to sap our life?
60736Why not give him the privilege of the laws of this state?
60736Why should I not be Joseph Smith''s friend?
60736Why was it not done?
60736Why was that the case unless the subject of"polygamy"had been mooted within the Church?
60736Why, then, do n''t you shoot and have done with it, instead of talking so much about it?"
60736Why, then, need they be troubled about us?
60736Why, then, their rage against me?
60736Will I accept of an offering, saith the Lord, that is not made in my name?
60736Will Mr. Rigdon please to hand this letter to Mr. Pratt, after reading?
60736Will not the nation rise up and defend us?
60736Will they not lead yours to the slaughter with the same impunity?
60736Will you all help me?
60736Will you all support my pledge, and thus preserve my honor?
60736Will you do me the justice to publish this communication?
60736Will you lift your voice and your arm with indignation against such unhallowed oppression?
60736With{ 20} deep feeling he said that they are fellow mortals, we loved them once, shall we not encourage them to reformation?
60736Would not this be a greater disappointment-- a more painful thought than annihilation?
60736Would you think it strange if I relate what I have seen in vision in relation to this interesting theme?
60736Write to Oliver Cowdery and ask him if he has not eaten husks long enough?
60736Yes; but who is it that writes these Scriptures?
60736You ask,"What shall I do with the lots?"
60736and how has thy glory departed?
60736and when Joseph Smith has not been in the state of Missouri for that length of time?
60736do all interpret?"
60736do all speak with tongues?
60736or had we better wait till we are more able?
60736to all parties; and I do now at this time say to all"How do you do?"
60736why are they then baptized for the dead?"
60736why are you using my name to carry on your hellish wickedness?
60736{ 442}"What is the use of this so often?"
60736{ 499} The inquiry is frequently made or me,"Wherein do you differ from others in your religious views?"
17279A justice of the peace?
17279Advance? 17279 And did they come?"
17279And has the other party in your sect no strength to resist?
17279And into what family shall our sister Susannah be set?
17279And is it to please my cousin Angel that you wear a snuff- coloured dress and a white cap and a neckerchief like an old lady of seventy?
17279And is this all?
17279And the prophet''s going to let you go, is he?
17279And then?
17279And what is the young man''s name?
17279And who was it that taught us to give up the filthy Gentile habits of strong drink and tobacco?
17279And whose fault?
17279And will Mr. Smith still teach them that they must not strike a blow for their rights?
17279And you think,she asked,"that your mother would receive me if I went back with you?
17279And you,she said slowly,"you have poured out blood and soul for us all freely, but why?"
17279Are n''t you glad? 17279 Are you Latter- Day Saints?"
17279Are you Lucy Smith?
17279Are you not wrong to speak so lightly of our religion?
17279Are you very tired?
17279Art wise, dear heart, in this longing?
17279But if it were commanded by the Lord, Sister Susannah?
17279But if you do n''t believe, maybe you are thinking of going east?
17279But in Carthage,he asked kindly,"who will attend to your wants there and protect you?
17279But 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?
17279But what have you to advance against what I have already said, Ephraim?
17279But what right have I to his horse?
17279But why do n''t we pay our respects to''Joe''now we are within reach?
17279By force of arms?
17279Did it ever occur to you, Finney, to reflect that, with your opinions, had you been the Creator, you would never have made the world as it is made? 17279 Did you expect them to have horns and tails?"
17279Did you hear that Mr. Finney was going to preach at Hiram?
17279Did you leave the baptising just to come and see us?
17279Did you see him die?
17279Did you see the angels? 17279 Did you think it was I who fired?"
17279Did''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?"
17279Do 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?
17279Do n''t you? 17279 Do you believe that if I go away some one else will have to be baptized over again for me?"
17279Do you incur any risk by the hospitality you give to me?
17279Do you intend to revive slavery in our own race? 17279 Do you know where Elvira Halsey is?"
17279Do you love them the less because they are not angels?
17279Do you mean, Mr. Smith, that I''m not to mention what everybody knows already, that in the Old Testament times polygamy was practised?
17279Do you not know where the Rigdons live?
17279Do you see that woman there?
17279Do you suppose that they would show_ you_ the iniquity of their hearts?
17279Do you think I could use the price of my husband''s blood for that? 17279 Do you think I do?"
17279Do you think that she would ever, by word or deed, do anything that would hurt_ me_?
17279Do you think that whatever I might do she would ever try to shoot_ me_?
17279Does he belong to you, young lady?
17279Does she desire baptism?
17279Does the prophet know?
17279Does the voice of the Lord ever speak but in accordance with your desire?
17279Dost think that they will contain what the prophet has called''sound learning,''and that there will be nothing in them to distract thy soul?
17279Dost thou doubt, Susannah, that God is with us?
17279For what?
17279Has Halsey returned?
17279Has Sister Halsey paid anything for living in the House this month back?
17279Has he ever written anything else about this affair of Rigdon''s?
17279Has not_ God_ made the signs of his presence clear to us, and even visible before our eyes? 17279 Hath she prophesied?
17279Have 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?"
17279Have you been in Nauvoo since then?
17279Have you forgiven?
17279Have 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?"
17279How can you sit and hold that child and say such terribly wicked things?
17279How could I return it if it came from so many?
17279How could you know whether they are wicked or not?
17279How did he do it?
17279How did you get among the Mormons, may I ask?
17279How do you know?
17279I just saw you stand there, and him a- sitting, but a voice in my own heart seemed to say--"What?
17279I 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?"
17279I would question, if it did not appear unkind, why you have come at all?
17279If 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?
17279If it were not for this, would you be content to go on as before?
17279If you saw a friend hastening to destruction would you not stop her? 17279 If you went east who have you to go to?
17279In gaol is he? 17279 Is Mr. Halsey stopping over to Farmer Knight''s?"
17279Is he dead?
17279Is he dead?
17279Is he dead?
17279Is he well?
17279Is it Sydney Rigdon''s wife that you''re wanting?
17279Is it any easier to believe that those things happened to folks when the Bible was written? 17279 Is it not true, Sister Susannah?"
17279Is it you?
17279Is it?
17279Is n''t it any proof to you that I had n''t the wits nor the education to make the book?
17279Joe Smith? 17279 Joseph thinks a great deal of you, Mrs. Halsey; he''s told ye to teach school?"
17279Kill him? 17279 Me?"
17279My sister, why do you wish to leave this beautiful city? 17279 Not legally?"
17279Oh, 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?
17279One, two, three-- will three sheets be enough, Sister Halsey? 17279 Or Mr. Oliver Cowdery?"
17279Or shall I tell them a big yarn about the nigger?
17279Or that my father would ever deny me anything that I seriously asked for, or that he knew my happiness depended upon?
17279Or-- or a minister?
17279Perhaps I will walk away, away into the woods and never come back; what then?
17279Sartin?
17279Shall it be''darling Susannah''?
17279Susannah, will you take my name and protection?
17279The address would be on the outside?
17279The devil?
17279The young lady with the brown eyes that I have sometimes seen you with, ma''am?
17279They are apostate,he said gloomily,"and why?
17279This is the elect sister?
17279Thou wilt think upon these things?
17279Thou wilt walk as far as thy home with me?
17279Was she any relation to you, ma''am? 17279 Was she without wax to seal it?"
17279Well?
17279Were you injured?
17279What did they say? 17279 What do you see?"
17279What do you want me to come for?
17279What had he to do with me?
17279What have they done? 17279 What have you been waiting for, Mr. Smith?
17279What have you got? 17279 What is a Danite?"
17279What news?
17279What next?
17279What place is this?
17279What says it in the end of the Book of Job, Sister Halsey? 17279 What shall I do?"
17279What was it?
17279What was it?
17279What will you lay on it, then?
17279When have I said, Brother Darling, that they all should think what they like? 17279 Where is my husband?"
17279Where is your heart? 17279 Where is your husband?"
17279Where''s your husband?
17279Which is Joe Smith, do tell me? 17279 Who am I to tell fortunes when my son Joseph has come home?"
17279Who is it?
17279Who told you all this?
17279Who told you that his name was Halsey?
17279Who''d have thought it? 17279 Who, Ephraim-- who fired?"
17279Why are you here?
17279Why believe in Moses and the prophets if not in Smith-- in the miracles of yesterday if not in those of to- day?
17279Why do you cry?
17279Why do you wilfully distress your mother, Ephraim?
17279Why has he come here?
17279Why 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?
17279Why not? 17279 Why not?"
17279Why should I come to see your baptism?
17279Why should I take the trouble to help you and the young un?
17279Will you get me the chaise and the money and let me go?
17279Will you go down to the stable and bring me up a travelling- chaise?
17279Will you have the kindness to tell me if you know of any one called Mr. Joseph Smith?
17279Will you lay five dollars on it?
17279Will you tell my fortune?
17279Wilt thou,he asked, still smiling,"give it as excuse in the day of judgment that they would not let thee think?"
17279Woman,his voice, deep and hoarse, was like thunder about her ears,"woman, is it not enough that the Lord has spoken?"
17279Would you consider a pervert from your own sect the best witness of its tenets? 17279 Wouldst thou see him?"
17279Yes,she said mechanically;"yes, but how can I?"
17279Yes?
17279You are offended with me for going?
17279You are one of the Latter- Day Saints?
17279You 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?"
17279You have, ma''am? 17279 You jest tell me one thing, will you?"
17279You will not come away with me, Elvira? 17279 You will see this young man baptized?"
17279You 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.
17279After a while, when he had raised her to her feet and embraced her again, she whispered,"Why are you in the meeting- house, Ephraim?"
17279After he had watched her for a while, he said with a sad smile,"You will not come home with me to- day, Susannah?"
17279Again he asked,"Sister Halsey, does this evidence of an impartial witness coincide with your observation?"
17279Ai n''t that so?
17279Am I to say to them that unless they have learning and wisdom and are perfect they shall not come?
17279Among the Gentiles who is it that has the most children?
17279And He said that believers must forsake all, houses and lands and all; what have your people forsook?
17279And am I to make nunneries to put them into?"
17279And the other fellow they call Halsey, was he concerned about that too?"
17279And then more vehemently she asked,"What was it that you did see?"
17279And what sort of children do we want the most of?
17279Anything else that I can serve you with to- day?
17279Are they less foolish"( she made a gesture toward the pews to denote their late inmates),"less unjust than they used to be?"
17279Are you a friend of the Smiths?"
17279Art weary?"
17279At last she asked, not without excited tremor in her voice,"Who?
17279At length he said,"You set out with this young man-- yesterday morning?"
17279Be you alone?"
17279But what of that if Boggs is Governor?
17279But you say that you saw my cousin?"
17279Ca n''t you go on sleeping?"
17279Could it be possible?
17279Could it be that his angel in deserting him had deserted her?
17279Could the statements in this wild story bear any relation to reality?
17279Did I ever promise to let you apostatise?
17279Did all her former suffering go for nothing as a protest against the wrong?
17279Did n''t Angel Halsey die to teach us that?
17279Did 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?
17279Did you hear who brought me?
17279Do you go down on your knees to him, and does he pat your head?"
17279Do you know what they are?
17279Do you not see the face looking at us?"
17279Do you remember how he gave commandment about the animals?
17279Do you think that we are living on bowing terms, curtseying to each other and saying,''After you, madam, if you please''?"
17279Do you think we are in a dream?"
17279Do you think"--her voice trembled--"do you think that I ought to think about my soul-- that way?"
17279Do you understand_ that_ doctrine?"
17279Ephraim had added:"When you went from us, Susy, would you ever have been satisfied if we had detained you by force?
17279Had his former candour, then, been the thing his mother called it,_ indifference_ to, rather than reverence for truth?
17279Had 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?
17279Had some army of mad persecutors invested Kirtland?
17279Had the Bible in the hill been a true Bible?
17279Had they chosen this, the most lonely part of their road, to fall upon them?
17279Halsey had not spoken, and Susannah asked again, this time of her husband,"Can it be wrong to do as this gentleman says?"
17279Hast thou not perceived that thy Bible tells thee in many different ways that God chooses not as men choose?"
17279Hath any revelation been granted to her?"
17279Have they any signs and wonders up at your place?
17279Have they got him safe?
17279He even laid his hand upon her bridle with authority,"Are ye going to stop at Rigdons''all night?"
17279He paused before her, asking with reflective curiosity,"Why are you so sure that it would be wickedness, sister?"
17279How could a stone help you?"
17279How could she be sure when she was so young and dependent?
17279How could they appear only to you and vanish again?
17279How do you begin?"
17279How long have you been at Nauvoo?"
17279How long would she remember any word that he chanced to say to her?
17279How long would that last?
17279How many?
17279If Ephraim were not dead what could be the explanation of this silence?
17279If I''d known these fellows had come back, do you suppose I''d have let you go?"
17279If 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?
17279If thou shouldst deny the outward signs, is it not by his grace that we live?
17279If ye come to that, why was I chosen to lead this people?
17279If you can command the devil in the name of our Lord, why do n''t you do that to poor Newell Knight?"
17279Is Christ divided?"
17279Is he not able to provide for the healing of the nations?"
17279Is it a kitten?"
17279Is it true?"
17279Is 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?
17279Is n''t that so?"
17279Is that true?"
17279Is that true?"
17279Is there any instance in history of a people emerging from prolonged persecution with high ideals of love toward their enemies and candour?"
17279It is I who require the confidence, and have I come too late?"
17279It is better, dear, is n''t it?"
17279Must it indeed be by means of such humiliation that she saved herself from Angel''s Church?
17279No?
17279Now she''s as good as there is in the modern Church, is n''t she?
17279Now, Sister Susannah, is this true?"
17279Shall I tell you about it?"
17279Shall I tell you?
17279Should she now renounce her husband''s sect, refusing to suffer with them?
17279Sister Halsey, or is it not?"
17279Some people were passing very near, surely they would go past in a moment?
17279Suppose we stayed and they took to mauling us again, would n''t the Saints here take to fighting to protect us?
17279Then after a minute he said,"Our brother gave you the money that he found on the person of your husband''s murderer?"
17279There is nothing to really distress you, is there?"
17279There was another pause, then he said,"Did you go before a justice of the peace?"
17279Therefore Ephraim made no comment on what had passed, but asked gently,"What of last night, Susy?"
17279Was it to send a message to the old home by the man whose very name must recall all its memories?
17279Was she to stand babbling to him about hallucinations and gold plates?
17279Was there a devil strong enough to give her to him?
17279Well, then, who was it?
17279Were n''t we baptized into it by being dipped in blood?"
17279Were their pursuers upon them after all?
17279Were you never taught anything when you were a little girl?"
17279Were you very affectionate with her?"
17279What did it matter whether she was tired or not?
17279What did they do?
17279What had that dream been concerning the river bank on the south- western side?
17279What is it that has made you speak now?"
17279What is the matter?"
17279What will the folks say?
17279What will they do to him if they lynch him?"
17279What will you bet?"
17279When 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?
17279When have I failed to do anything that I ever promised you?
17279When?"
17279Where had the man come by the wound?
17279Where have you been living that you have not heard more of their iniquitous doings than that?"
17279Where was his boasted justice?
17279Who has not felt the invitation, silent, persistent, of a road that leads through a lonely land to the unseen beyond the hill?
17279Why did n''t you tell me square?
17279Why do you deceive yourself?
17279Why inflict upon him the painful attempt to hinder her which his conscience would demand?
17279Why should I be?
17279Why should he go if by seeing her he could neither give her pleasure nor do her good?
17279Why should n''t I hear him when you agree that much that he says is true?"
17279Will your own people when they fail in business be sold, with their wives and children, as in the Old Testament?"
17279With eyes wide open with horror and lips trembling, she asked,"Did they kill them, uncle?"
17279Wo n''t you just step here and have a look at them?
17279Yes, surely her faith in Angel''s creed had been hurt beyond recovery, and she must free herself, but how?
17279You do n''t believe what aunt and uncle do, do you?
17279You have found it true, what is so much reported, that the Mormons follow wicked practices?"
17279You''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?
17279and the word of the Lord comes perhaps in accordance with one desire and in contradiction of another?"
17279and what compensation did the Lord give for the sore temptations with which he had allowed the devil to tempt his servant?
17279does thou not see him?"
17279he asked, making gentle his tone as he addressed the stately widow,"or shall it be''Elvira darling''?"
17279how he said that any man striking a beast in anger was thrown so far back on his road to heaven?"
17279or am I to deny to them the privilege of coming to live among the Lord''s people?
17279that I could live at peace with her?"
