Marvelous are the ways of the loLord and his deali
ngs with the children of men, past finding out. I have been
reading this day ^reading^ the first Journal I ever wrote in 1834
in my travels to Kirtland my first acquaintance
with Joseph Smith the Prophet in kirtland and travels
with him to Missoori in Zions Camp, thein the spring of
1834 And my first acquaintance with President
Brigham Young in kirtland in the spring of 1834. I met
him going down the Hill from the Temple and Joseph
Smith introduced me to him. He gave me a Butcher knife

which I carried to Clay Co Mo I spent seven
days wiith Joseph Smith the Prophet in kirtland and
went with him to Clay County Mo in the spring of 1834
I have passed through the whole History of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from that day to
this, And I wish to bear my testimony that while
there is but two of the Quorum of the Twelve organized
wiith Brigham Young living in the Church to day, viz
Orson Hyde, & Orson Pratt, That Joseph Smith was
a prophet of God ordained from before the foundation
of the world to come forth in this last dispensation
and fulness of times to lay the foundation of this Church
and kingdom of God on the Earth and He was sustained
untill He lay the foundation of the Church and kingdom
and performed all that God ordained him to perform
which He did accomplish. And after so long a time
I am called to preside over the ownly tTemple on the
Earth whare the Saints of God can administer
in the ordinances of the House of the Lord for the deceased
in a manner that will be acceptable unto the Lord
Their is a few of us still alive who went in Zions
Camp, and I will here say God has inspired me to
keep a Journal and History of this Chiurch and I
warn the future Historians to give credence to my
History of this Church and kingdom for my
Testimony is true, and the truth of its record
will be manifest in the world to come for I
with President Brigham Young and others of us

will soon be in the spirit ^world^ with Joseph, Hyrum
David, Heber, Wilard, Ezra T, George A Smith,
and A Hostts of other Men who have kept the command-
ments of God, And I hereby testify in the name of
Jesus Christ that the Bible is true the stick of Judah,
and that the Book of Mormon the stick of Joseph is true, [Ezekiel 37:16]
And that the Doctrin and Covenants are true which
are given through the mouth of Joseph Smith the
Prophet of God raised up in these last days through
the loins of Ancient Joseph who was sold into Egypt
all the words of the Lord will be fulfilled upon the Nations
which are written in that Book. The American Gover-
nment will be broaken in peaces like a potters vessel
and swept from off the face of the Earth, and cast
down to Hell, Because of their wickedness Murders
whoredoms and abominations For the Lord God hath
spoken it and it will be fullfilled. Therefore awake
and arise O Zion, slet the People of Zion sanctify
themselves before the Lord and purify themselves and
be prepared for the redemption of Zion and the
coming of the Son of Man for his coming is at the
door and will overtake the world as a thief in the night [1 Thessalonians 5:2]
