& President made some remarks. Elder
told a dream which he had last fall. He saw the prophet
who told him we should conquer in the first

time if we do right for I can tell you the time has
[FIGURE] come when the Lord will sit to Judge the Nations
and he will controll things in such a manner
that the people of the world will not understand that the
Lord has any thing to do with it, no more than the Jews
did in the days of the Savior. He said their are some

had often wished that He could get faith enough to enjoy
the Blessings the ancient Apostles Enjoyed He said Joseph

did fast & pray untill they could get the Heavens opened
unto them so they could see the face of the Lord their testimony
would not be worth much to this generation. Brother Hyde
