He tells us of the great Judgments that are to be poured out upon the Earth
and the great responsibility we are under as the servants of the most High
God in delivering our testimony and Preaching the Gospel. Bro Orson Pratt
makes the ninth Apostle who have opened their Eyes in the spirit
world since we came through Emigration Canyon on the 24 July
in 1847. These things give me vary peculiar reflections it says vary
loudly to Bro Woodruff Bro Taylor and a great many others "be
ye also ready." It says to all these Apostles and all these Elders
of Israel "Be ye also ready" whatever you have to do, do it while
the day lasts. Be true and faithful to your God, to your covenants,
to your Priesthood and to the mighty responsibility resting upon your
head. This is the voice of the spirit of God unto us. I thank God for
the gospel. I thank God for the promises of Eternal life which have
been revealed unto us. I thank God for the Holy Priesthood.
Yes we should be faithful we should magnify our calling that [we]
may in vary deed become saviors upon Mount Zion. There
are other Brethren to follow me and I do not wish to occupy any
more time But if I could speak to Brother Orson so that
He could hear me I would say

Sleep on Brother Orson, But Ere long from this
The conquored tomb shall yield its captive prey
Then with thy Quorum Thou shalt reign in Bliss
An Apostle, A King and Priest to an Eternal Day

I looked over my Journal and recorded on the following Page A syonopsis of my labors
