Now The Resurrection This will
also be brought to pass upon natural principles for those who do the will of
the Lord will be resurrected & how will this be brought to pass? Why he who
holds these Keys of the last Dispensation — Moroni or Peter who this may be also
the same holds the Keys of Resurrection. He will raise Joseph Smith &
Joseph, his that are given him; then Joseph will raise the next which will be
in order, and so on the heads of familys & deliver the Keys to them, and
they will raise all theirs who are worthy; therefore we have Not much need of
being Baptized for our dead, till it is revealed unto us to know who are worthy
of a resurrection fear lest we Might be baptized for a murderer whoes right it
is not to come forth So the work will be carryed on for a Thousand years when the
Temple is built in Jackson Co there will there will there and then will be
power given the Saints to goe forth & to resurrect & then these
witnesses to these things will goe forth & declare it to the world &
will have to seal their Testimony With their Blood, yet the world will not know
of these things that are transpiring (George
Laub reminiscences and journal, pp. 287-89, Church History Catalog, MS 9628)
