of Salvation to a Nation & Generations over whose head I behold
the drawn sword of an angry God suspended, which is about
to fall And fill all Idomie with death, I feel to cry out
Lord who is sufficient for these things, yet I feel thankful
to my Heavenly Father that He has granted unto me a
portion of his Holy spirit & Enabled me thus far on
this jouney & Mission to bear a true & faithful
testimony to the rightous & wicked as far as I
have had an opprtunity, and to keep myseflf unspotted
from the world. I had rather have favor with God
Angels & the martered Saints, & my Brethern in the valley
than to have all the Thrones and glories of the world combined
in my possession, for they look to me at the present time
like poor worthless rotten things ready to fall down
There is nothing appears valuable to me but Mormonism
for that Embraces all the substance & truth of Heaven &
Earth, and I hate to leave off thinking, talking or writing about
it, Still the things which move around us will attract our
Notice for a moment, some have mattracted my attention for
a few days past a little as I have been travelling, one or two of
which I will mention. W^m Smith is figuring in these Eastern
States of late to try to do sumthing but He cannnot acomplish
it. G. J. Adams has again turned to what He calls righteousness
joined the Temperanc Society & trying to raise up a Kingdom
in Baltimore, & while on his way to [Vorel] to attend a conference
called into my meeting on Sunday at New York the first
time I have seen him since I came East. I paid no
attention to him No more than if He had not been there
He sat untill meeting was about closed & went quietly away
without saying a word to anyone. I M^cGee Van Dusen has
stood in the streets of New York for nearly the whole past
past year crying aloud & selling his Pamphlets containing
his startling Disclosures of the Great Mormonc Conspiracy against
the liberties of the country Being their celebrated Endowments &c
(A copy of which I will forward to Brother Brigham with this, so you
can see how the Devil progresses in the East)
