18
I might have rendered a plainer translation to this, but it is
sufficiently plain to suit my purpose as it stands. It is sufficient to
know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten with a curse unless
there is a welding link of some kind or other between the fathers and
the children, upon some subject or other—and behold what is that
subject? It is the baptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be
made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect. Neither can they
nor we be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also;
for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the
fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a
whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of
dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and
be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not
only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the
foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and
prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the
dispensation of the fulness of times.
