... Prest. Geo. Q. Cannon then came to stand and desired to make a few remarks upon the Kingdom of God as he understood it from the Prophet Joseph Smith who had said to some of the members of the Church who were there assembled.

The object of this Kingdom will be to uphold the rights and liberties of all denominations and to Sustain the Constitution of the Country."
