With them I meet And with them I Sympethise of things that is about to transpire, amongst the Church of Latter day Saints. the leaders of the Church is first in voge, that a decision on them is past, that because of their works being unjust, and rejecting the Council of God; and putting To defiance his power and araising up In their own strength, that from them, Is now to be taken, their gifts. And they left in their own strength altho many of them is a looking—and cheerfully moves under Their watch care, But the anger of the Lord is kindled, at what is and has ben daily a goin on.

Their destiny is determined by the Council—That has on earth took a stand, that their folly is first to come to light, by being published, To the world. At the same time A confusion- amongst them, Is decreed, by the order of Heaven, that will cause an excitement- amongst those that do not with them coencide A war of Extermination, is also decreed.

As a work is to be don by the- Ancient of Days, That will be- marvelous in the Eyes of the world. It will be don by the wisdom, And power of God, threw chosen vessels, on the Earth, The gifts of the Gospel, on them will rest, that wisdom knowledge and Dissernment will expand the mind, That Iniquity by the Saints will be siverd out as the teachings of Elijah will be the theme or they an other Comforter will receive that will direct them in their daily moves
