No. 12

societies have been formed in most of the
nations; but still there are many very
intemerate ones of both sexes, and thus it will
be until grace changes their hearts, preserving
them from the influence of like temptations
of which they are much exposed to.

I pray the Father of all good that He may send
more Christian laborers among them, who
shall feel bound to teach them Christian
Principles and Practices and thus acquaint
them with the contents of the bible, and the
influence of the good and bad spirit
which work upon their minds and lead them
to work of vice or virtue, for it is by this
kind of instruction, much will depend
upon their prosperity in temporal and spirit-
ual happiness.
