Vision.

In the winter of 1874 my mind was very much
exercised in regard to the parable of the 12 olive
trees; doct. & cov. page 279 old ed.

After a social chat with father Johnson of Belleview
Cane Co. one evening upon this subject we retired.
The vision began by finding myself walking up Main
street, Salt Lake City going north. When I arrived at
Z. C. M. I. drug store, I saw coming from the direction
of the Salt Lake Theatre, soldiers on horse back, two
abreast going westward. They had instruments of
destruction in their arms reaching almost to the
ground, similar in appearance to english fire
engines made of fine brass. They commenced to dis-
mount opposite Kimball & Lawrence's corner and
placed these instruments on the street opposite the
stores extending from Kimball's corner to market
square. I passed them and went unto the market
square. I saw the yard of a large prison with two
iron gates towards me, which were very high, with
arched spiked tops and arched brickwork above
the gates. Between the gates & myself were from
two to three hundred (2–300) of our brethren;
all without hats. They were very clean & appeared
very cheerful. In their midst I beheld the prophet
Joseph and his brother Hiram. They looked very much
pleased and their complexion was very much fairer
than any of the rest. The spirit said to me:
"There is brother Joseph & Hiram, they have come
to meet & welcome the spirits of these, your brethren
