1866 has been noted as a period of war beetween
the President Andrew Johnson, and the Congress
of the United States, and the increase of Dishonesty and
corruption not ownly throughout the United States but
throughout the known world. It seems as though there
never was a more wicked & corrupt Generation than
the one which we live. The whole Earth is ripened in
iniquity and prepared for the damnation of Hell. Many
of both people & rulers of this Nation are seaking to
destroy the Church and Kingdom of God from off
the Earth, and we are ownly preserved through the
power and Mercy of God. All Nations are preparing
for war, and are fearing and trembling for fear of those
things which are coming upon the Earth. There is an
awful uncertainty resting upon all Nations, but do not
know what awaits them. The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter day Saints, the Zion of God, and the Kingdom
of God are all progressing in the mountains of Israel. the
wicked say let our Eye be upon Zion and let her be defi-
led, but they know not the thoughts of the Lord neither
understand they his ways. [Micah 4:11-12] But the Saints of God understand
they that are faithful are looking for the judgments
of God to come upon the wicked, and for the coming of
the Son of Man. There has been more sin, wickedness,
and abominations, committed in the United States, and
throughout the Christian world during 1866 than in
fifty years a centeury ago. the whole Earth groans under
the sin and abominations which reigns upon the face
thereof. The Lord is withdrawing his spirit from the
wicked, and the devil rulses over them, and darkness
covers the Earth, and gross darkness the people. Wars, and
rumourrs of wars are among all people, and great Judgments
await the wicked; while the righteous Saints will stand in
Holy Places, and rejoice in the Lord their God, and the
Kingdom of our God will increase, and fill the whole Earth
and stand forever, and He will Reign whose right it is to Reign
