'y' Sarah Oct. 23, Mrs. Mi Kimball: Dear Sister We have arrived nt my sisters here in old Lancaster Co,; I will now try to fulfil my promise to you. We are well, and have had a pleasant tripmost of the time we have had good weather, we have not met with any accident, for which we feel to thank our Heavenly Father. We went over to Southern Kansas to Hee the Rishop's brother, Mr. James Weiler; we had a good visit and had the pleasure of seeing that beautiful country. If it would rain, so that the people could raise their crops, Kingman County would soon be filled with settlers; but the cron have failpri for twn vpnrs. .md t.hfc farmers are becoming discouraged. While visiting in Kingman, we met with a Presbyterian, minister's wife, who appeared very anxious to learn something about our faith and doctrines. We lost no time, but made the best use of every moment trying to tell her the truth'. She had read Ann Eliza's book, and wauted to know of me what kind of a woman she was, and of course I told her the truth as far as I knew, and I believe it hatLa very good impression. We left one of Rrother Morgan's pamphlets with her. Ann Eliza's book is in a great many places where we have been, and people read it, and there is nothing with m reach to contradict her statements. We have had that hook to fight all the way through. I met with a blind woman in Congress, Ohio, that was a young girl when 1 was a girl. I had not seen her lefore since I joined the Church. She told me that she had never heard one word spoken in favor of the In other places JSIormon people, until that day. where we have been they are so wrapt up in their minister and possessions, that I cannot see, when they do not have time nor a desire to hear the truth, how any one is to blame if they do not hear it when they have an opportunity. I heard a Methodist minister say a man may be a saved man and not know it; he talked about the kingdom of God in their hearts. It seemed to me almost impossible that intelligent people could sit and spend their time Jktenfng to such nonsense. Take the mass of the ieop!e that we have conversed with, they do not seem to understand what they are in this world for, only la-to eat and drink, and work and get rich. The dies inquire of me how the ladies do in polygaman has my; one lady asked me, "When ashould die, three or four wivos, if one of them would the others go to the funeral:" All such foolish to me indeed, the blindness of this generation on foolish questions, at least they seem has things pertaining to ourso future existence, on has as it plain never appeared to me this trip. nrT have all been triad to see us come, r.,r vi to have us tro away.

The Book oi Mormon is a history of the former Inhabitants of this continent, and from it we learn that the Lord has brought people three distinct times to live upon it, the first was the Jaredites, they came from the Tower of Babel, then the people of Lehi, who left Jerusalem in of the first year of the reign therr commencement v. .

They wore discovered by a company of Nephft es, they united and Mosiah was afterwards their ICing. The Book of Mormon contains enough evidence within its own pages to satisfy any one of its divine authority many prophecies which it contains have been fulfilled, while many remain to be yet fulfilled. On page 234; we find that if the Nephites rebelled against God they would be destroyed from oflthefacepfJJie earth, which they eventually were. In the s(Xhd Book of eon of Nephiwe hayea prophecy of Joseph, the Jacob who was carried into Egypt. He said that the seer that the Lord would raise; up,sh.ould bring forth the word of the Lord, meaning thes, Rook of Mormonunto his seed, that is the that his name should be Joseph and. that it should also be the name of his. father, the "word" was brought fprth by Joseph Smith Jun. In the Book of Alma we read that the; plate should be presented by the hand of the Txrd,. until they should go forth unto every nation the Rook of Mormon was translated from a part of those plates, and more is to be revealed in due Lam-anito- time. :. Xephi the son of Lehi knew that the Messiah would visit Hie Jews in Jerusalem in $00 years after he Nephi had left Jeursaiem, also that he would visit the people on this continent which visit is recorded a9 having taken place at the time among the Nephites. In the New Testament we read that Jesus told his disciples that he had other shee he would visit. Ajso the new star that should appear on this conthv ent and the night which should be as light as world was day. as a sign that he came into the fulfilled, having been prophesied or many years before.
