Aud about the middle of the seventh month

Aud it came TO pass about the end OF the sew

OF hsr wisdom unto the little ones of that land

/ And when the hour drew nigh for the wise
men OF the land OF Paw Paw to choose new
rulers FOR The space OF yet another ten months
they counseled privily among themselves, cav
ing Behold, the chief rulers IN the temple
have been from among the sons and daughters
OF the lands aiar off why may we not choose
our own sens and daughters as chief rulers in
the temple? And the thing seemed coed in
their sight and they chose George, the son Of
Emory whose surname is Briggs, as first ruler,
and Emma, daughter OF Josiah, 10 assist in
counsel.
Now when the people in the land of Paw Paw
heard what was done privlly, they maryeled in
their hearts that these Thugs should be so.--
Now George continued to reign. aud III those
days the land was quiet Tor ten months; and
he did that which was right in the eyes OF the
people, for he took away the affairs OF the
strange gods and the high places and brake
down the images, and he smote not any one in
his wrath. Now when the sons and daughters
OF the land came together IN the temple. it
came to pass that one Herrick, the Suttonite,
and one Lucy. daughter OF Charles, said in
their hearts: We are possessed OF greater Wis
dom than any with whom We have assembled
aforetime let us arise and shake the dust from
off our feet aud tarry with them no longer let
us depart from tie temple with the older tribe I,
And they did even as they desired. And be-
hold, from q lower tribe there came certain I
ones possessed OF great wisdom desiring to I
assemble with them. and they bade them wei /
come. These were Maggie. of the household
OF Otis, Gertie, from the Hill country, Nelson,
from the land of Porter, whose surname is /
Upham, Orea, whose surname is Davis, and |
Edgar the son OF Edgar hover Of stone. And
very many were wrought upon to speak in un-
known tongues. And from that time they were
all with one accord exceedingly diligent. And
about the sixth month George, the first ruler,
said unto them: will now put forth some
riddles to be propounded in letters and num-
bers; if any Of you can certainly declare them
unto me will give them book in which is en-
craven the songs Of the Muses.. And behold
there were four who propounded the riddles
md they cast lots among them to know who
should be rewarded openly, and the lot fell
Now soon after tins time John, son Of Robert,
ay at home SICK 50 that lie could assemble with
lis tribe no more during the reign of George.
And about the seventh month May, daughter
If James, whoss surname Is Myers, departed
rom the temple and journeyed northward to
he land OF Waverly, and she abode there many
lays teaching in the temple which they OF that
and had bullded. And furthermore, Nelson,
whose surname is Upham, and Jerome, Of the !
ribe Of Nathaniel, also departed from the {
emple and betook themselves to the land OF !
heir fathers. Now it came to pass about the , ,
ighth month that Lizzie, the first born OF i
sichard, said unto them Lo, must again q
epart from you and journey to the far off land !
( California. And when she was gone they |
'ere exceedingly sorrowful, And about the I
