[Brigham Young Sermon] The President said of the liberty of the Gospel of the Son of God he wished the saints understood it: does it give us liberty to dethrone Jehovah, to change the laws of heaven or do any manner of wickedness: No this lends to Servitude and bondage for he that lives in Sin is a servant of sin. But the Gospel of peace liberates men from this bondage & here is liberty. it takes men out of bondage & adverse circumstances and sets them at liberty. This is the liberty of the Gospel not giving men license to commit Sin but delivering them from the bondage of Sin -- Horseshoe Creek, Wyoming [Giant of the Lord, Life of a Pioneer. James S. Brown Journal. James Stephens Brown, ed. Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1960.]
