Transcription

Then it is our duty as Latter-day Saints upon whom has been placed the garments of the holy priesthood, to warn our neighbors, to labor for the salvation of others, and not settle upon our farms and sit in our work shops and say, "the Lord has required no special calling of me." Every son of Adam who bears the priesthood has accepted it with a promise and a pledge before Almighty God that he will magnify his calling in the service of others. The efforts and effects are so beautiful, considering that we have no standing ministry after the pattern of the world, but that each individual member who is blessed with a testimony has a right to arise and instruct his fellow men and commit into their hearing his testimony and his instruction, lest he be found with the stain of his brother's blood upon his garments.
