Commencing the Kingdom. At the dedication of the Seventys Hall. Now concerning the organisation of the kingdom of god is brought to pass. The Savior told his deciples as he Seen the father do so does he, & as Joseph Smith seen Jesus doo so did Joseph do, & as I seen Joseph do so do I also, though follow me & I will lead you into the Kingdom & If I do not then my Soul for yours. All i want you to do is to obey my council to what I tell you.

The Kingdom is first organised with puting a head to it, then the various members belonging to the body. First Joseph, then the Twelve, then the High Priests, then the Seventys & Elders, then the leser priesthood & Teachers & Deacons & members. This fills the Whole body & if we take any of these offices away the body has a vacancy or a cisem p[chasm?] is in the body. But Christ is the head of all, for he is our head & Elder Brother. For we was once organised before God, & Jesus was the first born or begotten of the Father & we ware sent here upon this Earth to choose bodys & dwell here in the flesh as our Father who is in heaven. God sent our father Adam first & Eve. He placed them in the garden. Then he gave Adam a commandment to people this earth, to multyply & replenish the Earth, & told him not to eat of the tree of forbiden fruit, But the devil, being one of the organised of the hevenly body, third in power, prince of the Eir, he had a Spirit like Cain. he saw that Jesus was the most [acc]epted before the Father, for he loved rituousness & hated in[i]quity. This gave a jelousy to him & he began sent to this Earth. Saten then went forth & told Eve that She Should know good & evil if She eat of the forbiden or of the tree of knowledg, & She did Eat, for he told her meny truith and some lies. But yet this was the decree of the Father. For when he sent Adam on this Earth he decreed it that he might for get all about his former Estate, and this is the way that God first introduced Sin into the world that man might be Exalted & bring about the great purpus of God. For this was foreordained from before the foundation of the world, that men might be Exalted, & first to decend below all things that he or they might raise above all things as the Father did before us & be able to create worlds & goe from world to a nother. Therefore the heavens cannot contain him because he can goe where he pleases & any that are noe hier then [no higher than] himself, and this is what he wants us to doo, & the relationship we sustain to God is that we are Sons of God and heirs Joint [h]eirs with Jesus. For he came and pertook a body as we did, left the Father that he might Exalt himself & redeem this world among his brethren by establishing the priesthood after the order of melcesadeck and was a Saviour to the Brethren, and now we are to be Saviours of men of our brethren to redeem our dead friends & the friends of those who will not save their own friends, to Exalt or selvs untill we are all linked together again. For one dispensation will hand in their work after another, till the Son Jesus hath them all or our Elder Brother. And so we will return home to our Father who sent us that we may exalt ourselvs & glorify him who sent us. Then we shall have powwe to create worlds ourselvs & rule them as Jesus did, for Jesus when on the earth called the twelve deciples his brethren & all who did the will of the father in heaven, & the Scripture also tels us of the prodigal Son who left his fathers house & went a far Jurney, also that there is non our Father but one who is in heaven.
