Transcription

Retire to your beds early, that you may be refreshed, and rise early again, and so continue until times and seasons are changed; or, finally I say unto you, let the same process be continued from day to day, until you arrive unto of the one days of Kolob. (where day is 1000 of our years) the planet nearest unto the habitation of the Eternal Father; and if you do not find peace and rest to your souls by that time, in the practice of these things, and no one else shall then present himself to offer you better counsel, I will be there, and knowing more, will tell you what you ought to do next.
