I can not help it, these are the things that present themselves before my mind. There must be a reformation, there will be a reformation among this people, for God will not cast off this kingdom and this people, but he will plead with the strong ones of Zion, he will plead with this people, he will plead with those in high places, he will plead with the Priesthood of this Church, until Zion shall become clean before him. I do not know but that it would be an utter impossibility to commence and carry out some principles pertaining to Zion right in the midst of this people. They have strayed so far that to get a people who would conform to heavenly laws it may be needful to lead some from the midst of this people and commence anew somewhere in the regions round about in these mountains. Ask this people if they are willing to abide by the law of god, and how would they vote? The hands of every one would be up almost without exception, but when it comes to the very point, when consecration in part might be required at their hands, that is the time to prove them and to see whether they would or would not be obedient.'Oh I have such a fine house, and such a fine carriage and horses, such an abundance of merchandize and good things. It has taken me years and years to get these things, and it is hard to give one-half, three-fourths, or nine-tenths of them to establish another order of things, and I rather think I had better keep on the background, and see how the order flourishes" Orson Pratt, J.D. 15:360-361<br />That was Orson Pratt's day. I wonder what would happen if this was asked of us today. LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
