I looked over my Journal and have recorded a
synopsis of my labours of 1886 upon the opisite page
The year of 1886 is past & gone it has been an important year
in the History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints
it has sent to Prision hundreds of the Leading men of the Church
and rriven into Exile the Presidency of the Church & Twelve Apostles
and many other Leading Men all for obeying the Celestial Law
of God and the patriarchal order of Marriage And our Nation
are uniting in passing unconstitutional Laws for the purpose
of Destroying the Latter Day Saints from off the Earth. Our
Nation is becoming vary wicked and fast ripening in iniquity
and preparing for the Just Judgments of God which await them
we have now to look forward to see what the year 1887 will
bring forth I was Born the 1 day of March 1807 Eighty years
ago the coming March The Lord Reigns Let the Saints rejoice
