 driven by the Gentiles from place to
place, until you are left few in number! "O thou afflicted, tossed
with tempest and not comforted," lift up your heads and rejoice, for
your redemption draweth nigh: yea, we have found your record, the
oracles of God once committed to your forefathers, which have been
hidden from you for a long time, because of unbelief. Behold! they are
about to be restored to you again; then shall you rejoice; for you
shall know that it is a blessing from the hand of God; and the scales
of darkness shall begin to fall from your eyes; and the Gentiles shall
not again have power over you; but you shall be gathered by them, and
be built up, and again become a delightsome people; and the time has
come; yea, the work has already commenced; for we have seen you
gathered together, from all parts of the land, unto the place which
God has appointed for the Gentiles to gather you; therefore lay down
your weapons of war, cease to oppose the Gentiles in the gathering of
your various tribes, for the hand of your great God is in all this,
and it was all foretold by your forefathers, ten thousand moons ago.
Therefore suffer them peaceably to fulfil this last act of kindness,
as a kind reward for the injuries you have received from them.

It is with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow that I reflect upon
these things. Sorrow, when I think how you have been smitten; joy,
when I reflect upon the happy change that now awaits you; and sorrow
again, when I turn my thoughts to the awful destruction that awaits
the Gentiles, except they repent. But the eternal purposes of Jehovah
must roll on, until all His promises are fulfilled, and none can
hinder; therefore, O God, Thy will be done! But while I still linger
upon this subject, with feelings that are easier felt than described,
methinks I can almost hear the Indian's mournful chant resounding
through his native woods. It whispers thus:

    Great Spirit of our fathers, lend an ear;
    Pity the red man, to his cries give ear;
    Long hast Thou scourged him with Thy chastening sore;
    When will Thy
driven by the Gentiles from place to

 with tempest and not comfort, " rise up your heads and rejoice, for 
 your redemption draweth nigh: yea, we have establish your record, the 
 oracles of God once committed to your forefathers, which have been 
 hidden from you for a farseeing time, because of unbelief. Behold! they are 
 about to be restored to you again; then shall you wallow; for you 
 shall acknowledge that it is a blessing from the hand of God; and the scales 
 of darkness shall begin to descend from your eyes; and the Gentiles shall 
 not again have might over you; but you shall be gathered by them, and 
 be built up, and again become a delightsome people; and the time has 
 arrive; yea, the work has already commenced; for we have seen you 
 gathered together, from all part of the land, unto the place which 
 God has appointed for the Gentiles to gather you; therefore lie down 
 your weapons of war, cease to oppose the Gentiles in the gathering of 
 your various tribes, for the hand of your great God is in all this, 
 and it was all foretold by your forefather, ten thousand moons ago. 
 Therefore hurt them peaceably to satisfy this last act of kindness, 
 as a kind reward for the injury you have welcome from them. 

 It is with mingled feelings of joy and grief that I reflect upon 
 these things. Sorrow, when I think how you have been smitten; joy, 
 when I reflect upon the happy variety that now awaits you; and sorrow 
 again, when I turn my thoughts to the awful destruction that expect 
 the Gentiles, except they repent. But the ageless purposes of Jehovah 
 must roll on, until all His promises are fulfilled, and none can 
 handicap; therefore, O God, Thy will be done! But while I still hover 
 upon this subject, with feelings that are easier felt than identify, 
 methinks I can almost listen the Indian's mournful chant resounding 
 through his native wood. It whispers therefore: 

     Great Spirit of our fathers, lend an ear; 
     Pity the red world, to his cries give ear; 
     Long hast Thou scourged him with Thy chastise sore;
