July 13th I received a lengthy & interesting Letter from
[FIGURE] Letter from Phebe W. Woodruff from which I made some
extracts to be inserted in the which will appear in
the 4th No. My wife informs me in this Letter that
the Rev Mr a Methodist Preacher who was the
Leader of the mob in the persecution of
the Saints, has shot a during the Election who
died in few hours. Mr Bogart has had his trial &
is to be hung on the 4th day of July next. Also that
an Indian with his wife & daughter has embraced
the fulness of the gospel & Been Baptized in
the Indian is an Interpreter of six tribes, & the Indian
says all of those tribes will receive the work, & two
Elders with their families (Brothers & )
have gone out among the Indians on a mission &c
As this is the first commencment of the work among
the Lamanites I Pray God the Eternal Father in the
name of Jesus Christ to roll on his work among that
people & turn ther captivity & spedily overshadow
them with the light of the fulness of the gospel of
Jesus Christ. Roll on O ye mighty wheel of the Kingdom
of God untill ye becom a mountain & fill the whole
earth. [Daniel 2:34-35] Let the day which has now broke close no more
untill Judah rejoices & Israel is made glad &
Nobles are of himself & his Governour procede
forth out of the midst of him. [Jeremiah 30:21] Let the prayer of
the widow, & the cry of the orphan assend into
the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, let the heavens
witness their tears & record them on high, untill
the Almighty shall come out of his hiding place
& avenge those widows & orphens of the spilt Blood
of their husbands & Fathers which was
shed by the Iron hand of the Inhabitants of Missouri
for the word of God & the of Jesus Christ
Let the American Nation spedily learn that their is
still a God in Israel who holds the destinies of
all nations in his own hand & at whose command
goes forth the issues of life & death. O Lord cloth
thy Saints with salvation & thine Elders with the
power of God. Give thy Prophets wisdom, means, &
power, to esstablish & her stakes to be throne down
no more forever; Make thy no Apostles men after thine
own heart & swift witnesses to the nations of the
earth let council, wisdom, & the fear of God rest
upon them untill all thy purposes are accomplished
concerning them which thou wilt Deign to perform!!
