It Is Ia I mar that Oo God hI has stab thi hits work This ot of thi gathering Wi wai revealed IouI long er ea ao ago almost before there WI was an any Church and betor before the Gospel lint had over eer been preached outside or of the immediate neighborhood where the tho was frt first organized The announcement WIS was made that a of this character should take ulace Ind and that the he Gospel vas 81 to bo be preached In all the world The Scriptures declare al that when n a Ian man In the name 01 of the tho LorI and the he thing that h he prophesies comes to S we ore are to know that th the Lord hath bath sent him This Is ole one of ar the lie rons reasons why men and women belIeve that Joseph Smith was a ot of flue tho Lord Lor beuRe because hI he declared In hil his youth uth when he was as weak and to In poverty when he stood alone without that the time haul had core come for tor the gatherIng of Israel from 01 alt the world He also delar declared that our ot of gathering should bl be bein In the tops ot of the mountains just n as Isaiah foresaw long years er ago We ar are witnesses or of the fulfillment ot of th these prophetic utterances or of the Prophet Joseph Smith and by their we wc know In part that he hc was n a prophet or of t tle o Lord I TO DE BE UNI Another rother doctrine was taught b by the prophet In the ver very cm corn mencer nt ot of this work that alo also might seem a little strange to the pe pie lut but It Is havIng n a leml literal In theo these tas proving that Joseph I Smith was OS of thie th Lord lathe revelation that Is given 18 as asa 1 a
