October 20, 1850 ~ Sunday

20^th 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 I
was followed by P. P. Pratt who spoke well
