sentiment will make every exertion to prejudice the minds of community

will soon be issued from the press at the City far WestMo There is some
individuals that have been cut off from the Church in Kirtland (by the voice
of the Church) which are making as great an exertion against us as any of the
world W Parrish is their leader; but the work of God still rolls on in spite
of all their falshoods & misrepresentations.
