CHAPTER VI.

AND it came to pass about the beginning of
the eighteenth century, that Alcohol called
unto him his seven disciples, and spake unto
them aft er this manner:
2. Behold, we have labored zealously in
Europe and our father hath been with us;
3. And all Europe hath believed our report,
and the kings and princes of the earth believe
on me, and trust in me, insomuch that sit
with them on their thrones, and sway the scep-
tres of the earth.
| A. foment brawls and discord between the
nations, and stir up the hearts of kings to go
unto battle; that war may encourage the spread
of every " ill which flesh is heir to-"
| 6. ! foment quarrels and disagreements be-
tween neighbors and relations, and create dis
cord around the family hearts,
| 7. Stimulated and urged on by me, the father
dasheth out the brains of his innocent child,
and the son plungeth the dagger into the heart
of his father, and langheth to see his gray locks
aatted with gore, for | have burned affection
and pity out of his heart.
s. There is none so talented that have not
conquered his equal; nor so wise and respected,
but that some such have dragged down from
their fanced elevation, and led them through
the mazes of crime, wretchedness, despair, dis
ease and death, down to the chambers of eter-
nal punishment.
8. And send annually tribute to my father
of thousands of souls to hell.
| 10. But, behold, there is nation rising in
the west beyond the great sea-now in its in
fancy, but destined to become powerful nation
in the future.
IL. And, as my mission is to all the nations
of the earth, and unto all the inhabitants
thereof;
IL. Behold, must leave you to visit this
land of the west, where foresee there will, il
the future, be opened way for the spread o.
vital religion in the hearts of the people.
l3. Therefore, it behoves me to go thither
lest the kingdom of Christ become too firmly
established therein.
Ia. Then were his disciples sorrowful wheI
they heard that he was going to leave them;
Is. And they besought him, saying, Leav
MS not, VIC pray thee, for without thy aid W
can do nothing.
Is. And he said unto them, will not leav
you comfortless, | will be with you always
though l am going beyond the sea, yet am
always present with you;
IL. As am in my father, and my father i
me, even so am in you, and ye in me, and i
all them that love me
. ls. My kingdom is established in Europe
and the doctrines of Christianity have col
rupted.
l9. The ministers, wh teach the people, hav
| deceived, and they teach false doctrines fc
true, and cause the multitude to sin;
20. Howbeit am not sent unto Europe alon
but unto the whole world. Weep and howl, y
q fair lands of the west; take up a lamentatio
;, ye inhabitants thereof; #.
/ 81 For | am coming unto you tn sprea
!, oesolation and war, vice, pestilence and dealt
throughout all your coasts!
