October 20, 1850 ~ Sunday 20th Sunday I met with the saints in the Bowery was called upon to address the meeting I gave an account of my mission to the East I spoke of my dream I dreamed of diying & going to the place of the departed spirits I saw Brother Joseph & Hyram Smith & many of the Saints who had died they all appeared to be in a hurry I thought strange to find them in a hurry and I enqiuired the cause they informed me that the time was set for Christ to come as the great Bridegroom to the Earth to meet the Bride the Lambs wife & they had not had time to prepare as those of other dispensations & had to be in a hurry in order to get ready. And when I awoke I was overwhelmed with a peculiar sensation at the view of the work ofthe Latter Day Saints Had to perform in order to prepair the Bride for to meet the Bridegroom
