Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 69: November 7, 1907 All these abuses had been going on for years, yet among the people there was none to arise, condemn and overthrow them as did this humble carpenter's son. The Messiah must certainly have felt the security of His own position before beginning such attacks. Had His own life and conduct not been in conformity with the principles of righteousness, He would not have dared reprove, and that, too, with such severity, the unrighteousness in the lives of those around Him; had He not known that His own character was unassailable, He would not have dared assail the characters of the hypocrites with whom He came in contact; had Christ not known that His life would bear the closest scrutiny, He would not have dared court, as He did, the dis pleasure of all the sects of the day by denouncing their false creeds and false teachers. There is another event in the life of Christ which I consider well worthy of note. It shows the high esteem in which the Messiah was held by thousands of the Jewish people. It is recorded that on one occasion a great company, numbering five thousand men, came to take Him by force and make Him a king. Why did they consider Him worthy of such honor? Certainly not because of His imputed immoralities. No, it was because of His wisdom, of His love for humanity and because of the wonderful works which they had seen Him perform.
