All the people were ripe for the organization of a State Government, the Heavens the Earth, the Holy Spirit, & the people were all ready for this work AOur Fathers who made the declaration of independance and formed the American Constitution was inspired to lay the foundation of a Free and independant Government and the Lord protected them in it.
