Pres[ident] [Lorenzo] Snow said when he left home it was not particularly manifested to him what special purpose he & his brethren were going for but on ar[r]iving at St George [Utah] the Lord revealed to him that this people must reform in the matter of tithing or the Lord would not permit them to hold dominion in this land very much longer and so the observance of this law of tithing was preached all the way home to every congregation large and small and all the brethren held up the hands of the prophet of the Lord and bore testimony that this that Pres[ident] Snow had spoken was the word, was the mind and will of the Lord, was revelation, was the pwoer of God unto Salvation.
