Proclaiming the Gospel
- 1) O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!
- 2) Yea, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth.
- 14) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
- 15) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

- As the Elders go about warning the inhabitants of the Earth to gather together, they should not commence with the children and the wives, but with the fathers, nor should they seek to persuade children and wives to gather contrary to a father's will, but if the father will not gather, then they should obtain permission to teach his family, and failing that, the sin be upon the head of the father. (The same paradigm is applied to parents and children as well as master and slave.)
