Journal of Discourses

Isaac Morley in the Journal of Discourses

His one sermon in the series, and what it covers.

Patriarch and early colonising leader, whose farm at Kirtland was among the first gathering places of the church.

One sermon by Isaac Morley appears in the Journal of Discourses, in volume 6 (1859).

In his own words

The table below says what his one sermon covers. This is what it sounded like.

If we can prepare our hearts and our lives, we need not fear anything about our enemies. The greatest fear is that I shall not sustain and carry out correct principles in my own bosom. I believe that our grand object is to have all things right within. If we do this, we shall do well.

Isaac Morley, The Prosperity of the Saints Dependent Upon Their Being Right Before God—Prayer and Watchfulness, Etc, Journal of Discourses, Volume 6

What the sermon covers

Indexed subjects, in order of how often they appear: Reformation, Watchfulness, Covenants, Virtue, Knowledge, Remission of Sins, Exaltation, Honesty, Baptism, Holy Ghost, Salvation, Great Salt Lake City.

Where it sits

Volume 6 (1859) holds 66 sermons by 20 speakers, of which 1 is his. Brigham Young carries that volume with 15.

The Journal is overwhelmingly the work of a dozen men. The speakers who appear once or twice are the reason the series is worth indexing in full: they are printed at the same length and with the same care as the presidencies, and almost nowhere else.

Every sermon, in order

The complete list as the Journal prints it. Titles are the printed titles, which routinely name four or five unrelated subjects in one line — each one links to the discourse itself at journalofdiscourses.com.
