6th. March 1831— Saying Hearken O ye people of my Church to whom the kingdom has been given, Hearken ye and give ear to him who laid the foundation of the earth, who made the Heavens & all the hosts thereof, & by whom all things were made which live and move and have a being; and again I say— Hearken unto my voice lest death shall overtake you in an hour when you think not, the summer shall be past and the hearvest ended and your souls not saved— Listen to him who is your Advocate with the Father Who is pleading your cause before him— Saying, Father behold the sufferings & death of him who did no sin, in whom thou wast well pleased— Behold the blood of thy son, which was shed, the blood of him whom thou gave that thyself might be glorified. Wherefore Father spare these my brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life— Hearken O ye people of my churc Church and ye Elders listen together and hear my voice whilst it is called today and harden not your hearts for verily I say unto you I am Alpha & Omega the beginning and the end the light and the life of the world, A light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not. I came unto my own & my own received me not but unto so many as received me gave I power to do many miracles and to become the sons of God— [p. [1]]
