31 Dec 1859 This is the last day of the Year and
we are approaching 1860, a year which has been looked
for with much interest since I was a Boy, in my own
mind I do not suppose that it will be much different
From the years which will follow. We are istanding in
the midst of a Generation which is full of interesting
Events, we are approaching Revolutions & changes which
will shake kingdoms, Thrones & republics, from the Earth
to circumference and lay them in the dust and open the
way for the esstablishment of the kingdom of God and
of more freedom and liberty than now exists upon Earth
The signs of the times show that 1860 may be the
commencement of the desolution of the American Union
and of Bloody European wars But the Lord will guide
the destiny of ^the^ world in such a manner that his will
will ofbe done and the Prophets Fulfilled
I spent the fore part of the day in the office in reading
& conversation with G. A. Smith who gave an
account of his hard wardk from a small boy and that it
had injured him & he would not advise for young Boys
to be worked to hard
