'there has been considerable talk (.itjoul u proplacy on war that would iiiitulte tne whole world. We think I that It will be ruul by everyone, and ,oi' this teason pi hit It In full. Lil-v,ard Lil-v,ard Bouthwlck supplied the munii-suipt munii-suipt ot which following is u cop) wo were talking of tho persecutions or the Saints, when he Bind: Uo shall Buu worse things tiiaii mobblngu, drlv-,ags drlv-,ags ami persecutions. Uur persecutes persecu-tes will nave all the mobbiugs they ,.ant; don't wish them any harm, for ..lien you see their sufferings you win ilied tears, lor parables like unto juhu the' Hovelator you will go to tho nocKy .Mountains and will sc,o u great and mighty people, established. 1 will call this people me White Horse of peace auu salely. When asked tho question, where. v III you be at that tunoT 'Iho Prophet Pro-phet said, 1 will nuver go there. tour enemies will continue to follow fol-low you with persecutions, and will make, obnoxious laws In congress against you, trying to destroy the white Horse; but you will always aave a friend or two to defend you. I hey will throw out the worst or tho aws and you will not receive much Harm. You must petition congress continually, but they will treat you as strangers and nliejis. They will not give ou your rights, but will govern gov-ern you with strangers and commissioners; commis-sioners; you will sec tho constitution constitu-tion or tho United Stntes almost tics, troyed. It will bang, as It were, by a thin silken thread or the finest llbt.r. Tlioro the Prophets countenance became be-came sad. Tho White Horse and the ited Horse will continue In Its dcr iciiHc, und It will bo saved und pre. served by their efforts. An ensign of peace und Bafety will bu raised by the White, Horse on tho tops or tho mountains, and all nations na-tions shall How Into it. Tho mountains moun-tains will bu found to be full of minerals min-erals and the people will become very rich. You will see cart loads of Hll-er Hll-er piled In tho streets, gold will be shoveled like sand, and bo of very little commercial value, for the people peo-ple of the world will bo seeking salvation. sal-vation. The time, will come when tho banks In every nation will fall and there will be only two places of safety safe-ty where the people can deposit their treusures, These places will be with the White Horse and Kuglaud's vaults. A terrible revolution will take place In the laud of America; such us has never beroro beeji seen. The land will be left entirely without a supremo su-premo government, and every species of wickedness will prevail. So terrible ter-rible will be this corruption that athers will take arms against sous and sous against fathers, mothers will oe against daughters and daughters against mothers. Thero will be the .nost terrible scents or murder and olood shed ever looked upon. Peace will be taken rrom the earth, e.eept in the Hocky Mountains, and the honest In heart fioin all the, nations jf the earth will gather here for jafety. They will keep the laws and bo ono with you, for they will see your unity and the grcntunss of your organizations, organiza-tions, Many will come with bundles under their arms, for there will be no escnpo from the calamities except by tleelng to Zlou. You will become so uumt.rous that there will be dan. gor of famine, not for want of seed time or harvest, but because or the numbers to bu red. Tho Turkish Kmplro In the Orient will bo the llrst as u iiallon to be destroyed, des-troyed, for freedom to preach the gos-I gos-I el In the Holy I.aiul must be given The Lord planted In dreat Ilrltaln Hie nost blood of the nations, and gave ucr great power in tho earth for n niousaiid years. This power shall remain with her, that sue might keep other nations 110111 Joining Hussla, to get power over all the world. Although Kngland auu 1' ranee nro now bitter enemies, they wtil ally to keep Hussla from conquering conquer-ing the world. Tho Catholic churches, Greek and Catholic Homo will yet bo united. Ono or tho tnoat remarknblo features fea-tures or Kngland Is the established Hetl Coat uniform. A rwnarkablo mark to shoot at, yd they have conquered con-quered wherever they havo gone; tho reason for this they will know some day. Kuglaud's wisdom und statesmanship statesman-ship conies from the fact that there is so much of the, blood of Israel In the nation; the 'Lion und the Unicorn or Kngland Is the ensign of Israel. While thu terrible things of which 1 have spoken are going on, Kngland will remain uutrui until It becomes too Inhuman to be tolerated, then uhe will Interve le to stop the shed-lug shed-lug or blood. France will Join Kngland, Kng-land, not to subdue tho nations, but to eatabllsh peace. The lllack Horse, knowing that Kngland did not believe In slavery anil fearing thnt they would become sluves again, will flee to the invaders, and armed with llrltlsh bioonets their doings will be terrible; this they believe will ninke them freo. The nations will all be broken up and so many will be claiming power that thero will be no responslblo government. gov-ernment. It will appear to otho. nations na-tions that Kngland hus taken possession posses-sion of tho country. Uy this time the White, Horso will have grown strong, -the Elders will havo gathered tho honest or heart rrom among tho Palo Horse, tho people peo-ple of tho United Stntes, and they defend de-fend the constitution, for it was given by the Inspiration of dod. In those days dod will set up u kingdom never moro to bo thrown down, and all other kingdoms will come unto It. Tho nations that will not let the gospel bo preached will bo humbled to submission. Kngland, Ocrmnny, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Swltzer. land, Holland and llelglum havo considerable con-siderable of tb9 blood of Israel, and those must bo gathered; ull tho nations na-tions will submit to tho kingdom king-dom of Coil. Kngland will bo tho last of Ihcse, to surrender, but alio will do so as a whole, oven as alio throw off tho Catholic power. Tho nobility knows that tho gospel Is true, hut It has not enough pomp and gran-duer gran-duer anil Inlluenco for them to cm. braco It. They n.ro proud and will not acknowledge the kingdom of God or coma unto It, until they see tho power It will have for peace and snrcv ty, and tho Hocky Mountains will bo protected by a united band or tho White auu lieu itorse. tho coming or tho Ten Tribes or Israel nml the, coming or tho Messiah among his people peo-ple will bo so natural that only those who see Him will know that Ho has come. The Messiah will come and give his laws to Zlou and minister unto his people. This will not bet Ills Second Coming Com-ing in the Clouds or lieuvcii und take veiigencu on tho wicked. The temple lu Jackson County will bo built lu this generation, although the people will think therti Is not time to do it. They will have gold, silver and precious stones for these things ami will be used lu beautifying tho temple, will be enough sklllul me-cuaiilcs, me-cuaiilcs, und the Ten Tribes of Isruel, oii can build the temple quickly, tihcu ou see this land bounded with iron you may look towards Jackson County. Unless great care Is taken, and protection Is glvui the land beyond the Hocky Mountains will be Invaded by tho heathen Chinese. Speaking or thu heathen nations, where there Is no law therei is no condemnation, this will apply to them. Power will bo given to the While Horse to rebuke nations niar off, anil they will obey, not that they will bo one with the White Horse, hut when thti law goes foilh they will obey It, ror tho law will go torth from .Ion. Thu last great struggle lu which Zlou shall taku pait will be when thu whole of America shall he made the Zlou of our dod. TIiobo opposing will be, called gog and magog. The nations or the world, led by tho Czar or Hussla, will be powerful, but all opposition will be ovoicomu und this laud will ho the Zlou or our dod.
