foundation in this that may serve us in days
to come As our father And Mother or the
Nation that has bourn us has rejected us
And driven us out there is A National
calamity At the door. All things are not
known at once, this Temple was built
for A certain purpose that is gained will
we now sell, A vote was taken last fall not
to sell it, but A key that will not open
a door And shut it again is not A good one
so if we have to sell the Temple to
remove the Poor the People that make
us do it must pay the bill & meet the
consequences. All who are in favor of
selling this House if it meets with the council
of the Twelve manifest it by raising the right
hand it was A unanimous vote save one
Elder Hyde closed his remarks And was followed
by Elder W. Woodruff

who backed up the testimony of Elder Hyde
And in speaking of the martydom of the
Smiths said they would rise in Judgment
against Against this Nation, the state of Illinois
Hancock ^Co^ And esspecially Carthage And the
murderers it contains, they are the most
suitable persons to rise in judgment against
them, for they were martered by them
yes the mob of Hancock Co had not yet
got through with Joseph Smith for He was
in the Presence of God and the Lamb in
company with Abram Isaac & Jacob And was
our senator in the court of Heaven And would
plead our cause And his own And knowing
the cause to be a just will do sumthing
that will have effect
