INTERPRETATION OF A TONGUE

Given at Moorhead Reunion, September 20, 1907, by Elder J. W. Wight
(Reported by Ella Rich Hawley)

Thus saith your Lord and your Redeemer unto you, my people:

There are many things that you need to be reminded of. I have warned you time and time again. My people meet together and tell of their love for me, separate and forget the promises they have made, and turn again into the ways of the world.

It is needful that my people put from them the pride of heart and pride of life; be less mindful of the things of this world; yea, come out of the world indeed and turn unto the ways of life; do that which I have commanded you. It is needful that I remind my people because of their forgetfulness.

I have told the young of my people to cultivate the gift of music and of song and inasmuch as you are more heedful in this direction I will give unto you of my Spirit, by which you shall be enabled to sing in harmony with the Spirit; and this gift of song, cultivated and made manifest by the power of my Spirit, shall become a blessing in my church.

In the years which are gone I reminded my people that they had turned from me; that they had robbed me. Let not my people of this time have need to be chided in this direction, but inasmuch as my people give heed to my law in every department thereof. I will grant unto you my Spirit, that you may be qualified indeed as my people, and so continue in faith and in my service.

And unto my ministry: Inasmuch as they shall be more humble and more faithful the day is not far distant when I will pour out my Spirit in enduing power, and will grant unto them that assistance that will enable them to stand before the congregation of the world and break the bread f life as they have never been able to before. Yea, let all my people be faithful in the discharge of their duty before me, and I will sanctify you unto myself. Thus saith the Spirit. Amen. —Saints' Herald, October 20, 1907.
