ofthe things that we're done BY the
children Of Ham. who also are the
children Of the b. or r., have never
been written ia q book. And it be-
cometh thy servant'to write all those
things whatsocyer be kn0weth and
put them in book.
Now, after the meeting Of The B. Of
r. many ofthe children 81 Ham were
angry and much depressed III spirits
and they reasoned among themselves
and said: There were spies among
us, who also are children Of the b. of
f. bnl they yet cleave to their own
tribe, being Of the seed of Abraham.
| for did we not see Joseph from the
Province Of Griffin and Greer from
|tbs waters Of Gala Greek, and many
|others who we know TO be spies that
Iwere sent TO make divieron among us.
And when Clinton heard these
things he arose and said: Let us
have council Of our own tribe.
And Charles spake and said Clint
on thou art wise man. Let us do
the things that seemcth good in thy
sight. Aud they all with one accord
agreed to meet at the Temple which
| Is nigh unto John and James at the
foot of the mountains Of Crow, about
ono league north or the great city Of
| Atkins. ~
| Now, when they had all assembled
themselves together they looked and
behold none OF the tribe Of Abraham
was there.
And Charles arose and said: The
children of Abraham hath caused us
much sorrow, and now / pray thee
brethren let us reason together -
! see the cause of our calamity.
And while Charles yet lspake the
great Scribe of the B. of +. arose and
said: 1t is just as I PREDICTED;

have spoken the things openly that
were done in secret, and have also
ltrampled the commandments under
their feet. And now lest these things
be done again, pray thee brethren
hearken unto me, and | will read an
to you the commandments Of the B.
of f. which are these:
