This day commenses a New year. 1888 is past and gone and borne its report to Heaven of all Men. what 1889 will bring to Pass time must Determin. Darkness covers the Earth, & gross Darkness the People And the warfare of Priest & People is still against the Church & Kingdom of God on the Earth. There is an Exertion made in Washington to get Utah Admitted into the Union as a state with the other Territories but there is a strong opposition to it by our Enemies.
