Thus saith the Lord unto my servant Wilford Woodruff. I have heard thy Prayers, And will ans- wer thy Petitions. I will make Known unto thee my will concerning the Nation who encumber the land of promise, And also concerning Zion and her inhabitants. I have already revealed my will con[cer]ning the Nation through the mouth of my servant Joseph, who sealed his Testimony with his own Blood, which Testimony has been in force upon all the world from the hour of his death. What I the Lord have revealed in that Testiment and decreed upon this Nation, and all the Nations of the Earth shall be fulfilled, Saith the Lord of Hosts. I the Lord have spoken and will be obeyed. My Purposes shall be fulfilled upon this Nation, and No power shall stay my hand. The hour is at the door when my wrath and indignation shall be poured out upon the wicked of this Nation. Their murders, blas- phemies, Lyings, whoredoms and abominations have come up before my face and before the heavens and the wrath of mine indignation is full. I have decreed Plagues to go forth and lay waste mine Enemies and not many years hence they shall not be left to pollute mine herritage. The Devil is ruling over his Kingdom and my spirit has no

they are broaken up and Destroyed, and wasted away from under heaven, and No power can stay my hand. Therefore let the wicked tremble. Let them that blaspheme my name hold their lips, for destruction will swiftly over- take them. All that I the Lord have spoken through the Mouth of my Prophets and Apostles since the world began concerning the Last dispensation and fulness of times, con- cerning my Church which has been called out of the wilderness of darkness and Error, and concerning the Zion and Kingdom of God and concerning Babylon the Great, And what I have spoken through the Mouth of My servant Joseph shall all be fulfilled And though Heaven and Earth Pass away my words shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled Saith the Lord. These revela- tions and testimonies you have before you. Let my saints search the word of the Lord and treasure up wisdom and be prepared for that which is to come As I have decreed so shall my Judgments begin at the House of God. There are those in my Church who have a name among you who are Adulterers and Adulteresses and those who blas- phene my name and those who love and make a lie, and those who revel and Drink with the Drunken with the drunken if they do not spedy repent of their wickedness and Abomina- tions They shall be severed from the ordinances of my house saith the Lord. There are many who have need to repent whose hearts are set upon the things of this world, who asspire to the honors of men, and do not honor the Priestood, nor seek to build up the Kingdom of God as they should

A Prayer written By Wilford Woodruff By request of President John Taylor to be Presented at the Altar O God Our Eternal Father, Thou who dwellest in the heavens Thou who hast created the heavens and the Earth and all that dwelleth therein; Thou art the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Thou hast sustained thay [thy] Prophets, Apostles, and anointed Ones from Eternity to Eternity. Therefore we come before thee, in confidence and in faith, as thy saints, thine Apostles, and thy friends, to make our wants known unto thee, the Lord Our God. Thou art our Eternal Father, the Father of our spirits, and hast called us and ordained us, and commanded us to go forth unto the inhabitants of the Earth, ^in this generation to declare unto them the gospel of Jesus Christ the words of Life & salvation thou hast commanded us to go forth unto the Nations of the Earth^ unto the most notible Cities, towns and Cities villages of the world reproveing them in righteousness of all their wickedness and abominations, and warning them of the desolation which awaiteth them if they reject the message and testimony which thou hast sent unto them. Therefore O Lord our God we have obeyed they commandments in thes things. We have gone forth through our own Nation and the Nations of the Earth, and have declared faithfully unto them the gospel of Jesus Christ. ^we have travelled in poverty offliction & persecution^ we have travelled without purse or scrip and declaired thy word freely without money and without price, and been chargeable to no man, as thou knowest, for thou knowest all our ways. Thou hast given unto us of thy Holy Spirit and of the Testimony of Jesus Christ, for which we thank thee, O our Father and we have found many of thy Sons and Daughters of the seed of Abraham who have received Our testimony among the Nations of the Earth and have been gathered

sometimes I feel when I realize these things it would be a relief if I could break these bands as Brother Orson Pratt has done and open my Eyes in the spirit world and partake of the glory and blessings that await that man but then again we must submit, we should be patient, we should be satisfied in regard to our condition on the Earth, in our Mortal state, it will last but a vary little while.

Br Orson Pratt whose body lies before us lay at the point of Death as also George A Smith and a number of others while some twenty of the Brethren were laid in the grave. The Lord took whom he would take, and preserved those whom He would preserve according to the council of his own will No man could pass through a much worse sickness than the Cholera, men weighing near two hundred pounds were reduced to seventy or one hundred pounds in a vary short time.
