the West, the Publishing Society for the
publication of books and Tablets and their circulation in all parts of
America, and the preparations now under way for the celebration of the
Golden Centenary Anniversary of the Kingdom of God. I hope that this
Jubilee and this Exhibition may be celebrated in the utmost perfection so

glory and splendor will at last vanish and disappear, but the Kingdom of
God is eternal and the heavenly sovereignty and majesty will stand firm,
everlasting. Hence in the estimation of a wise man the mat in the Kingdom
of God is preferable to the throne of the government of the world.
13 Continually my ear and eye are turned toward the Central States;
perchance a melody from some blessed souls may reach my ears--souls who are
