the same time
Love to you all who are now in
the house of God.* On account of the
goodness of God, is my love very
great. Love without allay to you

�missionaries from Hawaii to Tauwai.
My heart loves Jesus Christ on account of his charge to you. He said to
you, go ye to all the world around and
preach the gospel to every creature; that
it may be a lamp to enlighten all the
lands that are enveloped in thick darkness.
This is the communication which I have to
make to you. I was a prisoner of the devil
[Page 2 of 2]
I am from within his kingdom of death. I
have just escaped from the arm of the devil
The ^right hand &amp; Jesus Christ has secured me.
He has snatched me away those that are
his. My heart is devoted to Jesus on account of obtaining salvation, and an enlightened mind. I give my body, and my
heart, and my soul to Jesus. May the
power of his Spirit wash me that I may
live.
