read chap 7— Daniel, commencing at 9 verse:—

mankind are agitated on 2 coming of son of God, seem to have bearing upon all c [churches?] & cive [civilized?] nations who believe the bible, a few century centuries ago scarcly agitated— sometimes they were. I presume no one subject upon which more controversy— ideas various— look different greater share of c supposed that J. C. [Jesus Christ] would not untill the winding up scene the earth annihilated— preach so now.— many who are getting eyes open— in our land begin to investigate— many have concluded he will come more than 1000 [years] before the final judgment— This doc[trine] is beld by L.D.S. [Latter-day Saints]— can be substantiate[d] by scriptures— that he will appear in glory with angels before Mill[ennium]— Millerites believes same— making converts— spreading doctrine is even in regard to the time— know not signs of the times— many good ideas correct, calculations of Daniel & John— have concluded he would in this year— within a few months— some this month— they will be mistaken— know not the greatness of w[or]k preceed his 2nd advent in order way prepared,— can it be expected the Lord will accomplish all in 1y 2 or 20 years— Lo take time— dont create world in a minutes or 2 days. The advent of the days when thrones are cast down. he des. [destroy?] wicked des.— there must be a warning voice sent forth— prepartory work before. I believe that these views together by Millerites & others will be of advantage. The Lord will bring good. many people will be called up their attentions— honest will get same ligh[t] when truth is proclaimed they will lay hold— by searching before. These adgitation will be of advantage— when we go forth— we should not condemn those doc. which we know true— we may prevent many from investigating. The events that are to be accompd. before even Jews who are now scattered [throughout the] [[world]]— are to brought back to Jerusalem rebuild it proclaimed by many,— the gospel must be preached to every kindred tonge &c— as preparatory— the M[illerites] are in error they suppose that the doc by Miss [missionaries?] was the gospel— that it might be considered as preached to all the world little idea— not every thing gospel— scripture truth one thing— sectarian doc another might convert all the heathen by sec. & the gos would not be preached The same principle, ordinances, prchd— blessings— must be published to all [[world]] as preparatory Dan c[hapter] 2. stone strike the image &c here is a difference, they believe the stone is not to be organised until the 2nd. advent antichrist to reign— untill all at once— [[world]] not warnd to be surprised by k[ingdom] from h[eaven] destroy. Our ideas this k. will be organized on [[world]] preparatory when thrones are cast down— [p. [1]]
