Yet Kimball always proposes to the vote of the Conference, “that we sustain Brigham Young as the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator of the Church.” The people have often murm[u]red, indeed, that Brigham does not give “new revelations;” nor teach “new principles,” as Smith did. As to the latter, Brigham tried his skill at invention in 1852, and discovered that Adam was a polygamist, and that he was the God of this world ; and the Lord and father of Jesus Christ! This stupdendous blasphemy he publicly taught saying, “He is our God, and to him must we come, for we shall never have another.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. i.) Kimball, of course, seized on this discovery with avidity, and pronounced it the height of inspiration. Said he, September 28, 1856:

“I have learned by experience that there is but one God that pertains to this people, and he is the god that pertains to this earth, the first man. That first man sent his Son to redeem the world, to redeem his brethren; his life was taken, his blood shed, that our sins might be remitted. That Son called twelve men and ordained them to be Apostles, and when he departed the keys of the kingdom were deposited with three of these twelve, viz.: Peter, James, and John, Peter held the keys pertaining to that Presidency, and he was the head.”—Deseret News, October 8, 1856.
