155 years ago today - 155 years ago - May 1, 1861

[Wilford Woodruff] Both North & South were gathering large armies and preparing for war. The Banks & rich men throughout the whole Country were Consecrating there millions of Dollars to sustain the war. The Nation has persecuted the Saints of God & made them Consecrate there all & flee from place to place to save their lives and now it is there turn. The Lord has said He would vex the Nation and he will suredly do it. Civil war has begun in Earnest & it will go on untill the will of God is done. All they have Sought to bring upon us will Come to pass upon them.
