The day has come when the Lord has set his hand with full pur-
pose of heart to esstablish his Kingdom on the earth, gather Israel
build up Zion & Jerrusalem make an end of sin & cause all
nations to bow the knee & every tongue to confess tha[t] Jesus is
the Lord & has a right to reign on the earth And ye are the
people ye Elders of Israel & Latter Day Saints that are moved
upon & called & chosen to do this work, who is sufficient for
these things, & what manner of persons ought ye to be. I rejoice
that I enjoy the society of so many of the Saints this day in this
glorious valley which has not been peolluted by the ungodly
gentiles & that I can speak with freedom without being trampled
by wicked men. the difference in the society tBetwen the Saints
& the gentiles in the United States can ownly be contrasted betw-
een Heaven & Hell in comparison for let an elder of this Church
start from New York & travel to Saint Louis & let the people know
who he is & He would be in Hell all the time a& there is A cause for
this A Prophet seer & revelater. Patriarchs & Apostles have been raised
up in there midst, the Church & kingdom of God has been planted
among them, the gospel preached & salvation freely offered unto all &
what have they done, they have stoned the Prophets & killed them
poured out their Blood like water upon the earth, have burned their
dwellings & given their goods to the flames, have driven the Apostles
with the keys of Eternal life & salvation with the entire Church
& kingdom of God out of their midst into the wilderness & the mountai[n]s
yets they have turned the last key that has sealed & locked fast their
condemnation that lingereth not & there damnation that slumber
eth not. And this is the reason why they are full of hell & desire to
destroy every thing that retainets any portion of the spirit of the spirit
of God^s But if it requires all the martered Saints in Heaven from
rig[h]teous Abel to Joseph to go forth from the temple in Heaven
& [p]our out all the vials of the last plagues upon the United
States & open the seals upon them in order to avenge the Blood
of the Prophets & Saints which they have spilt, it will be done
for that Blood shall spedily be avenged. Yea vary spedily
The Prophet Joseph, The Twelve Apostles, with many of the

of sufferings & privations, that would have discouraged an Allexan
