President Young said: We believe in God the Eternal Father, Jesus Christ his Son and the Holy Ghost, God's minister. The Gods are Eternal, there never was a beginning. They always existed. Philosophers have tried to study out how the first Gods came. I want to ask them a question: Which was first, a squash or apple that produced the seed—or was it the seed that produced the squash or apple? Which was first. They can't tell—So they need not rack their brain with it—there never was a time but what both existed. No man from the days of Adam to the end of the world will never be saved unless they go through the same ordeal that we do—There never was any other way to salvation. Text was: to know the only true and wise God is Eternal Life—To know this a person must have Eternal Life.

God is the father of all the spirits of all the people of this world—he is the father of the bodies also of the first inhabitance of the Earth also the father of the body of Jesus Christ.

The first people of the Earth was no more made of the dust, than we are—I would not make out that Moses lied, by no means. But we are made of dust as much as Adam was. So are our cattle. They are formed or created from the elements all of which are necessary to produce animal or vegetable life—as the dust of the Earth will produce grass and cattle will eat grass and increase.

Every person must have a father and mother or they could not be. So we had a grandfather or we wouold have had no father, and our grandfather had a father and grand father and great-great-great-greatgrandfather So far back there is no beginning—They always Existed on some world—& when this work was made—our God who is Adam came & commenced the peopling of it—Tho he is God & had lived & died & been reserected on some other planet—& obtained his exaltation & begat the Spirits of children enough people this world he came down & brot some of the animal & vegetable productions of some other world so that they might grown & increase here—He by eating the mortal fruits of the Earth, it caused & produced mortal children or commenced the increase of men on the Earth which is the bodies for the Spirits to live in There never was a time when Worlds were not created—The work of creation was always in progress—An Adam & Eve is necesary for every world The oldest Son, if faithful, is the Saviour of the family—There are Lords many and Gods many But the God that we have to account to, is the father of our spirits—Adam—all the inhabitants of the Earth are made of one flesh—whither they are balack white blue or streaked.
