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.
