2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

We want men and women who can think and do think‭; ‬and who are not afraid of truth which does violence to the thinking of the flesh.‭

Such an audience as this we seemed to have at Temperance.‭ ‬They seemed to listen as though they were thinking upon what they heard‭; ‬and such are the only people that will ultimately be led captive by the gospel of the kingdom.

Herald of the Kingdom and Age to Come, Dec 1854
