April 2, 1837 ~ Sunday

April 2^nd Attended worship in the Lords house upon
this sabbath day. I have spent the time for several
days past in perusing the Outlines of ancient and
modern HISTORY on a new plan, By Rev Royal
Robbins. It strikes the reflecting mind with deep
sensibility to contemplate the scenery of the
rise, progress, decline & fall of the Nations and
kingdoms of the earth from the days of ADAM
untill 1837 years aft^er^ Christ. And it is equally inter-
esting to contemplate the day that is now at
hand & hath already begun in fulfillment of
Ancient prophecy in bringing the church of
Christ out of the wilderness in esstablishing
Israel upon those lands by a Theocratical
government in fulfillment of the conenants
God made with Abram Isaac & Jacob. As this
hath began in my day & I am called to act a part
in the work by being plaaced with the first Seventy
Elders of Israel to become a special witness
of Jesus Crist to all Nations I need much faith
fortitude, holiness, & wisdom. May the Lord
enable me not to seek honour from man but
God & be faithful in clearing my garments of
the blood of Gentile & Jew and do honour to the
HOLY Priesthood & the Annointing that now awaiteth me
