Why is all this, it is because the Lord is agoing to make a short
work on the Earth, in the last days, & cut his work short in righteous-
ness. He is inspiring his servants with the power of God & the
spirit of his work, & a desire to build up his kingdom & Mount
Zion as Men have Never before been inspired. This great
& mighty work is put into your hands to perform ye saints
of latter days. No greater work can be given into the hands
of Men in the flesh. Then rise up ye saints of God & do the
work required of you & the Lord will work with you, sustain
you & redeem you & give you power to Accomplish all
that has been promised through the Mouth of all the Holy Apostles
& Prophets since the world began which may God grant for Christ sake Amen G A Smith Dismissed the Meeting
