Given through Sister Francis Evans of the Second Kansas City Branch. She got up from a sick bed to attend the prayer meeting. She had been so very ill that she could neither talk above a whisper nor eat and had almost to be carried into the building; but as she stood to deliver her message, she required no support, and her voice rose clear and strong in the tongue and, later, the interpretation which follows:

It is wisdom with me, your elder brother, the First Born, to say to these my friends at this time: It behooves you that you set aside any fear or doubt in regard to the divinity of this my work, which I have established in you day and time.

My Spirit speaks at this time that it may encourage the weak and the distressed; that it may lead and guide those that have confidence and trust in the wisdom of the Son of God. My Spirit speaks at this time to warn my people to diligence, to understand the position they take when they stand in the presence of God and among their friends, in testifying of the goodness that they have received. I say unto you that you should be careful; that there is no allowance for deception in the least degree; that I demand of my people that which they pretend to be.

I say unto you at this time that the gospel of God has been restored for the last time, and as it was restored through my son Joseph Smith, Jr., when he walked uprightly before the throne of Christ; as it was restored unto him, his son, Joseph Smith [III], received authority through his hands. Also my servant Frederick M. Smith has received the same divine authority through the hands of his father.

I say unto you, Be not wayward in your thoughts, your ideas. The gospel has been restored for the last time, and is not to be taken away any more until I make my appearance among the children of men. I say unto you, be careful, be prayerful, be diligent, observe the laws of God, listen to those that are instructed by me to give you understanding, and also in regard to the gospel in the future days, because the time is very, very near at hand.

It is pleasing unto your God that this building has been erected, and the day will speedily come that this large Auditorium will be filled to its capacity with the priesthood only. I say unto you, be careful in your undertakings, not to pretend that you are serving God and serve him only half way; not to stand on the precipice; there is danger. Walk in the middle of the road. Lift up your voices to God. Give glory to him, because you will find that he will be near you.

Yea, the measuring line has been thrown out, and it is straight. The Messengers from the courts of glory have made their appearance, and I say unto you, my people, Be prayerful, be humble, be solemn in your undertakings, be honest, be truthful, and the gospel of the son of God shall triumph over the world. Amen.
