CHAPTER 6

(November—December 1830)

15 And the children of ^amen were numerous upon all the face of the land. And in those days ^bSatan had great ^cdominion among men, and raged in their hearts; and from thenceforth came ^dwars and bloodshed; and a man’s hand was against his own brother, in administering death, because of ^esecret ^fworks, seeking for ^gpower.
