THE FULNESS OF THE GOSPEL, Chapter 1 of Holy Priesthood Volume 2

THE FULNESS OF THE GOSPEL, Ch1 of Holy Priesthood Volume 2 http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=122 We are members of the only true and living Church upon the face of the whole earth, and we have received the fulness of the everlasting gospel. One of the most efficient organizations in the world was the German Army. Another has proved to be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Members of each of these two organizations have been totally dedicated to their cause–even to the sacrificing of their own lives. The main difference, however, is that one was dedicated to the killing of mankind, and the other to saving them. Too much has been said about Hitler’s army, and not enough about Christ’s church. How unfortunate that so much knowledge has been poured into the development of weaponry and how little has gone into exercising Priesthood. This clearly depicts our limited understanding of correct values. I do not suppose there is any event predicted in the word of inspired truth, connected with the work of the last days, upon which so much misunderstanding exists, and which produces so little impression upon the minds of the human family, as the restoration of the Holy Priesthood; yet, at the same time, there is no subject more intimately connected and associated with the happiness, well-being, and eternal destiny of man, than this; as it is the right understanding and full appreciation of this matter that can alone lay a sure foundation for an eternal exaltation to honour, dignity, and power in the Kingdom of our God. (Thomas Bryceson, 1853, Mill. Star 15:102)
