i implore you , be peaceable , quiet citizens , doing the works of righteousness , and as soon as the twelve and other authorities can assemble , or a majority of them , the onward course to the great gathering of israel , and the final consummation of the dispensation of the fullness of times will be pointed out , so that the murder of abel , the assassination of hundreds , the righteous blood of all the holy prophets , from abel to hyrum , sprinkled with the best blood of the son of god , as the crimson sign of remission , only carries conviction to the bosoms of all intelligent beings , that the cause is just and will continue ; and blessed are they that hold out faithful to the end , while apostates , consenting to the shedding of innocent blood , have no forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come .
