greeting.

to England to take charge of all the business transac-
tions pertaining to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints both spiritual and temporal. We wish you to
give diligent heed to his council in all things and as we
have not the opportunity of Informing you of what
has transpired this season by letter, our beloved
brother will make known unto you all things. we wish
the brethren to be faithful and diligent in keeping all of
the commandments of God and in hearkening to the council
of those who are sent to council them. Let no man
or set of men think they have power or authority of
the keys of the kingdom above the Apostle Wilford Woodruff
whom we send unto you to instruct you in the things
pertaining to life and salvation; Though our prophet
be slain for the word of God and the testimony of
Jesus, yet the keys of the Kingdom remain in the
Church and the heavens are not closed neither is
the mouth of the Almighty closed up sealed up that
he cannot speak. The God of Israel will communicate
to his disciples from time to time all things necessary
for the building up of his kingdom upon the earth
untill Israel is gatherd, yea even all the blood of
Abraham scattered over all the earth. Zion established,
Jerrusalem rebuilt, and the whole earth be filled with
the glory and knowledge of God. We wish all the
Saints in England to continue their gathering as usual to
the land of America and they may have the privilege
of appointing a committee to visit the land of America
to prepare a location for a settlement of the brethren
