Many of the Elder of Israel do not seem to understand their position on the Earth & their calling, that they are called to save the children of men. we are surrounded by the Lamanits, who are degraded & cast down to the Lowest depths of filt, yet they are of the house of Israel & we should set a good Example before them & not come down to their capacity but seek to Exhalt them
