Transcription

In the afternoon by the Mormon Chapel, Villa Street, the Lozells. —Subject: "I and the Father are One." the 3rd chap. of the book of Exodus was first read, and the remarkable but impressive name by which God declared that he would be known was explained. "I AM THAT AI AM." the self-existent, eternal, uncaused cause of all things. JEHOVAH, or the PERMANENT, EVER-ENDURING, UNCHANGEABLE BEING. Man's Creator; without whom man could not be. It was a great mystery to our finite intelligence—the creation of man by God—but the idea of man's creating himself or beginning to act before he was, would indeed be an infinitely greater and altogether incomprehensible mystery. That Adam was God and created himself was simply a piece of blasphemous folly.
