It is confirmed to day that George Q Cannon is arested & in the Hands of the Marshals we are in the Midst of a National Persecution The United States Government is making war upon the Latter Day Saints Judgment is begining at the House of God But if the Saints suffer for their Religion our Persecuters will suffer for ther sins Great things await this Generation Behold the signs of the times watch for the coming of the Son of Man
