to the Islands. Can you do something for them? And
that is not all. We want you to contribute to the
building of the Temple. We want what you have to
spare. But are you affraid that you will not have
enough for yourselves when you get there? How easy
it is for the Lord to take it away from you by
fire and otherwise. E. P. Magin had an ivory
cane. I asked him for it but he did not give
it to me; but he soon lost it and it did neither
of us any good

The Lord can give and take away
Jacob with his faith obtained all the best cattle that
his father-in-law had. [Genesis 30:35] Who blesses you and all the
people. God. But do the people acknowledge
His hand in all things. No they turn away
from Him and do not acknowledge Him nor realize
from whom their blessings flow

Let me tell you a secret. When
the Lord shakes the earth and the hills fall
down and the valleys are exalted then for brass
He will bring gold for iron silver and for stones
iron. That you will have no use for gold ^for money^ and
^and gods^ the like as you now have but the Lord will think
as much of it then as now.

Let us have some of your gold
to take to Nauvoo to build the Temple and Nauvoo
House so that when the kings princes and nobles
of the earth call to enquire after the wisdom of Zion
we myay have a place to entertain them, and
that the weary traveller may also be refreshed

Is there wisdom in Zion? We think
so; and the world begin to think so. Let the world
come forth and translate the plates that have of late
come forth if they have wisdom to do it.

The Lord intends to take away
the gods of the gentiles. He pulleth down and
buildeth up at his own pleasure. Dont be affraid
of a dollar or a hundred or a thousand dollars
