[Brigham Young Sermon] "The Order of Enoch, as it is called, will ever by mysterious to those who do not enter practically into the Holy Order. The more it is practiced in righteousness, the more light, truth and knowledge will be bestowed upon those who are thus practical. It is time for the Latter-day Saints to enter into the practical obedience to this Holy Order of the Gospel. He concluded by saying: I say it is time; we must either go backward or forward. I am for going forward. I say to the Saints, Go forward. Be one. If we had been practicing this combined Order for 20 or 25 years, we would find it very much more difficult to commence and carry on business as separate individuals, than we do now to enter into this combined Order."
