they will gather the esstablishment of this Tabernacle was
the result of my meditations while upon a sick bed
If their is any man that is full of the Holy Ghost & wishes to
speak let him rise up & speak & use his liberty I feel as
usual to praise the Lord with all my heart. The hand of
God has Been as visable in leading this people as it was in
leading Israel in the days of Moses some had not faith to come
on for fear of starveing to death. dont be in a Hurry to go
away but stay untill you have worshiped enough at this time
Brother Kempton spoke a few moments Believed this to be
the kingdom of God had No Doubt of it
Presidnt Young remarked that the Gentile would take excepton
to what is said Here I know as the Lord lives that the people
of the United States have departed from the spirit & letter
of their Constitution And this people will be the ownly
the people that will sustain ^it^
G A Smith arose & said we are a singular people if we
signify that we cannot worship as other sects do but want
to exercise our rights it is considered Treason But a
Senator from South Caralinia could rise up in the Halls
of Congress & declare that that the United States was more
tyranical than the Goverment of Austra & South Carolina
would resist the Goverment this would not be considered
treason But dont be alarmed God rules our destiny
& will rule the world & if we do our dooty their is no
power that can harm us for we will make God our ref
uge
