others in consequence of the interesting scenes
transpir^e^d with the Saints of God in the South. Isaiah &
others of the Ancient Prophets testify to us of the
great events of the last days esspecially of the literal
gathering of Israel. They say the Saints shall
gather from the East & from the West & that that
the North shall give up & the South Keep not back [Isaiah 43:5-6]
This interesting day had now arived yea the 19th of Sept
1836 when some of the Saints of God in the South
began to take their families, their charriots waggons
