Even Our Nation itself is taking a stand against thy Church
and Kingdom and has passed laws forbidding us to obey the
Law of the Celestial patriarchal order of marriage which thou
hast commanded us to obey. The blood of one of thy servants
has been shed others have been imprisioned because they woud
not deny they word. Now O Lord our God we bear our testimony
against these men, befor Thee and the heavenly hosts and we
berar testimony unto thee Our heavenly Father that we according
to thy commandments unto us we have gone alone by ourselves
and clensed our feet in pure water and born testimony
unto Thee and thy Son Jesus Christ and to the heavenly hosts
against these wicked men by name as far as the spirit
has manifested them unto us we have borne our testimony
against those who have shed the blood of thy Prophets and Apostles
and anointed ones, or have given consent to their death
and against those who have driven thy Saints and imprisoned
them and those who are still ready to deprive us of Life, Liberty
and the privilege of keeping the commandments of God. And
now O Lord our God Thou hast commanded us that when
we have done this we should gather ourselves together in our
holy Places and clothed in the Robes of the Holy Priesthood
should unite ourselves together in Prayer and supplication
and that we should bear our testimony against these men by
name as far as wisdom should dictate. Now O God our Eternal
Father we ask in the name of thy Son Jesus Christ that in
this important act of our lives we may do nothing but what
shall be acceptable in thy sight May the same spirit of Mercy
love and charity dwell in our hearts that dwelt in the soul
