Sept 1
stoop so low as to create a fight with Thomas Williams
as he did and to mingle and drink with the wicked there
is silence in Zion. no warning voice in the streets or in the

and many are turning away from the Lord and in this
hour of temptation and darkness it is our duty to live
our religin & to set a good example before all men & watch
& pray that we enter not into temptation.
