Preface
In publishing the last two Volumes of the there have been more
than ordinary difficulties to labour under. One of the effects of
the wicked Expedition against the Saints in the Mountains was a
suspension in the delivery of Discourses by the leading Elders of
the Church. Nor was this all. As Jesus the Beloved Son was once
left by his Father, that he might show forth the great integrity
of his soul, so also it seemed at this time wisdom in the Father
to leave his beloved Saints to manifest the vast integrity of their
souls. Therefore the Lord and his Prophets and Apostles, for a moment,
as it were, hid themselves and the voices of the Shepherds were
not so often heard.
Of course, all this told upon the publication of the Journal of
Discourses; for if there were no Discourses delivered, they could
not be published; so that, to prevent the Journal from being discontinued,
we were compelled to publish Sermons delivered in past years, Some
of which had been already published in the Star. But although necessity
compelled us thus to act, there are several good ends thereby reached.
The Journal of Discourses will become a complete journal of all
the Sermons delivered by the First Presidency and the Twelve. Besides
this, in the Sixth Volume will be found published some of the choicest
Sermons of the Prophet Brigham, and also many choice gems from others
of the leading Shepherds of Israel. The Sixth Volume, therefore,
cannot be other than a choice Volume to all its possessors, while
many Saints have had the privilege of reading and possessing these
gems of inspiration who were not in the Church when they were delivered.
We now respectfully offer to its readers the Sixth Volume of the
Journal of Discourses. But we cannot close this Preface without
expressing gratitude to our heavenly Father that the voices of the
Shepherds of Israel are again heard, which gives us the prospect
of publishing in the Seventh Volume many of their words of inspiration,
power, and salvation.
