"Mormon" Doctrine Plain and Simple; Or, Leaves from the Tree of Life
Penrose, Charles W. (Charles William)
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- Doctrines; Latter Day Saint churches -- Doctrines
Herein is our Eternal Father glorified and His dominions extended.
By the continuation of the seeds of the righteous forever, the
multiplication of His sons and daughters creates the needs for worlds
and systems, to be brought forth according to eternal laws, to occupy
their position in the universe as dwelling places for spirits, and
embodied mortals, and perfected souls, in the various grades on the
path of progress towards the perfection of the celestial order; as orbs
of light and splendor, or globes of trial, punishment or correction,
each in its allotted sphere in the galaxy of suns and stars and
planets, and in the vast and wondrous plans of the Mighty Architect,
the Eternal Parent of organized intelligencies.
In obedience to His laws, there is present peace and future joy.
They who are in harmony with Him are in affinity with the source of
all pleasure and power. His commandments are found in the laws of
continuing life, which regulate as permanent things; and they who
reject Him and His counsels shut the gate against their own happiness
and advancement. But, for them who receive His gospel and conform to
all its ordinances and teachings, the door is open to the highest
courts in the heavenly mansions, and while they are helped through the
ordeals of mortal life, they gain the keys to all the glories of that
existence in which the family relation is perfected and perpetuated,
and every power of the whole being, refined, intensified and developed,
finds exercise, in its true sphere, to the complete and unalloyed bliss
of each one in the endless family circle, and the glory of Him who is
the Patriarch and Ruler of all.
