Sunday Oct 5^th Elder O. Pratt Addressed the Assembly
and said I feel thankful to once more tread my feet in
the valley after being absent 4 years I feel thankful to behold
the faces of my brethren & friends & see the improvements
that have been made in my Abscence. I could not tell whare
I was I was in danger of Being lost without a guide. I trust
that while I have been absent on a mission to Great Britain I
have also been Assisting to build up the kingdom of God &
when I left I believed it would continue to roll forth
the work had taken such a deep root the powers of darkness
could not break it up it seemed at times as though we
should take the kingdom. The organization of the Churches
By the Twelve in that country was so perfect that notwithsta[ndin]g
the great spread & increase of the work we can know
monthly the state of the Churches increase &c throughout the
whole realm. The faith of the Saints in that land was
increasing a great spirit of enquiry was manifesting
itself in the High ranks of society esspecially when they
Hear of the rapid progress of the work & prosperiofty of this
people we are not hid up as some suppose. It is the general
Idea that we are destined to become a great people & a
Mighty Nation (is this treason) we are a strong people &
destined to be stronger untill our News reachest to the utmost
parts of the Earth so that when the Mail comes the question
will be asked what News do you hear from that mighty
people in the Mountains? As the emigration increases & ships
Arive It will all increase the work & it will be as impossible to
hide it from the world as it would for the shining of the sun
to be hid & Zion will be terrible to the Nations of the Earth
I feel as great a desire to help bear up the kingdom as a
man can. I am willing to spend my life & all I have
to build up this kingdom. I am willing to stay here or go
back tomorrow. I presume this is the feelings of the Elders
Here in this Body their is Nothing so Joyful as to build up
the kingdom. I would rather be abroad binding up the
grain than to break up my Farm if I had all the welth
of the Earth I would rather go without purse or scrip than to spend
the time to work for myself when I look at the magnitude of
this work I cannot feel otherwise with the spirit of God in my
heart. I want to see the Seventies going forth & gathering from
all kingdoms & countries & from every Island of the sea untill
all Israel is gatherd. I do not feel to say more to day but will
sit down & hear from my Brethren. I wish to do my duty while here

G. A. Smith said it is with pleasure I behold the faces of O. Prat
& others this is my Fathers House we have had good instruct
ion from our Brother Here I have spent my time to settel
other colonies we cannot all settel down Here we should
spend our lives to improve & prepare ourselves for immortal glory

Abraham seed will reign as kings of kings & Lords of Lords & to his seed their is no end let this people live & do right & the blessings of God will atted you to all Eternity
