In Their Own Words
“The Lord had established a kingdom, and the Saints were emigrating to help to build it up, but not in such great numbers as to make a large nation at once ; still, there would come a time when the people would be brought from the north country, and in this manner the Lord could raise up a nation in a day. — Millennial Star 28:6”
