[MUSIC PLAYING]

Observe the performances of the church, to continue in prayer and supplication unto God daily, that ye might not enter into temptation. And what shall these my brethren do? They are despised of all men because of their poverty, especially by our priests. They have cast us out of our synagogues which we have labored abundantly to build with our own hands. They cast us out because of our exceeding poverty. Now we have no place to worship our God.

What shall we do? Do ye suppose that ye cannot worship God save it be in your synagogues only?

Do ye suppose that ye must not worship God only once in a week? It is well that ye are cast out of your synagogues, that ye may learn wisdom; for it is because ye are cast out, that ye are brought to a lowliness of heart; for ye are necessarily brought to be humble. And now, because ye are compelled to be humble blessed are ye; for a man sometimes, if he is compelled to be humble, seeketh repentance; and now surely, whosoever repenteth shall find mercy; and he that findeth mercy and endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

And because ye were compelled to be humble ye were blessed; do ye not suppose that they are more blessed who truly humble themselves because of the word? Yea, he that truly humbleth himself, and repenteth of his sins, and endureth to the end, the same shall be blessed.
