Looking for Brigham Young quote citation - " . . . the time will come when we no longer send missionaries to preach

[MatthiasMo]

Hello,

I am looking for a quote citation from Brigham Young. I thought it was from Truman Madsen, but . . .

My recollection was " . . . the time will come when we no longer send missionaries to preach the Word of God, but that we have the authority to administer the ordnances thereof . . ."

Can anyone give me a source?

Thanks!

Do you think there is calamity abroad now among the people? Not much. All we have yet heard and all we have experienced is scarcely a preface to the sermon that is going to be preached. When the testimony of the Elders ceases to be given, and the Lord says to them, “Come home; I will now preach my own sermons to the nations of the earth,” all you now know can scarcely be called a preface to the sermon that will be preached with fire and sword, tempests, earthquakes, hail, rain, thunders and lightnings, and fearful destruction. What matters the destruction of a few railway cars? You will hear of magnificent cities, now idolized by the people, sinking in the earth, entombing the inhabitants. The sea will heave itself beyond its bounds, engulfing mighty cities. Famine will spread over the nations, and nation will rise up against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and states against states, in our own country and in foreign lands.
