cleanse your feet in water, purewater. it matters not whether it be

b1 the running streams. or in yourclosets: but leave these testimoniesbefore the Lord and the heavenlyhosts; and when you have all donethis. then sather vourselves to-gether in four

ut-ioty places andclothe yourselves with the robes ofthe Holy Priesthood and there offerup your prayers according to myHoly Law.l0 Let him who presides be

and before the lustified spiritsmade perfect. And thus saith theLord unto you, mine apostles,uhen you bring these testimoniesbefbre me. let them be presentedby name as far as the Spirit shallpresent them unto you: The Presi-dents of the United States, the Su-preme Cour1, the Cabinet, the Sen-

ate and Houses of Consress of the

United States. the Governors of the

States and Territories, the judges

and others sent unto you. and allmen and persons who have takenany part in 'persecuting you orbringing distress upon you or yourfamilies, or who have sought yourlives, or sought to dhinder youfrom keeping my commandmentsor from enjoying the rights whichthe "constitutional laws of the landguarantee unto you.I I And what I the Lord say unto

you, mine Apostles. I also say untomy servants- the Seventies, theHigh Priests. the Elders, the Priests

and all my servants who are 'purein hearl and who have borne testi-mony unto the nations. Let themgo forth and cleanse their feet inpure water and bear testimony of itunto their Father who is in heaven.

l2 And then. saith the Lord untomine Apostles and mine Elders,when ye do these things with pu-rity of heart, I the Lord will hearyour prayers and am obound byoath and covenant to defend youand fight your battles.bl3 As I have said in a'former

ctrtion regarding the principle of celestial marrictge (see section 132)

raled the church and made such mariages illegal. Beginning in May

or June of t 886, letters began lo come to President John Taylor frontmany leaclers oJ'the Church, asking him to do something to satis.fy the

Gentiles who were cctnfiscating their property in connection with the

property of the Church. George Q. Cannon sugge';ted Presidenl Taylor

abolishing the practice of plural maftiage and consecration should be

acloptetl to satisfy their demands. IPresident Taylor replied, "Do you
