scene there was vastly different from the one I 1 witnessed at home this lady was calm and peaceful and was full of joy she said to me brother isaacson go out amo nour people and tell them that out of all they get nothing remains steadfast but a knowledge of the gospel the commandment of tithing is a holy one when that commandment is broken one of the ten commande ants is broken for are we not told

been cast out from my native land and parents because I 1 have apostatized from ther faith and I 1 have a dear mother at home weeping over my departure but I 1 have received a thousand times more blessings than I 1 have been called upon to sacrifice the lord has manifested to me to take mission to my people the jews and preach the gospel to them as soon as thet translation ran of the book of mormon in the hebrew tongue is completed I 1 went to the penitentiary to preach a short time ago and while there I 1 conversed with president geo Q cannon I 1 am happy to say that brother cannon
