Before that, many wise men shall find their way there, endowed with intelligence from the Lord to map out and make ready for our dear Lord's coming, with thousands who have toiled and suffered with him here. You are the pioneers. The climate shall be moderated by the earth's 3rd motion southward, without interference with her diurnal and annual motion by which she will be fitted to bring forth all the choice vegetations and floral grandeur she is entitled to yield. No beast of prey may find a place there. All rank and unprofitable growth shall be banished at that day. Neighbor shall meet neighbor in perfect accord, and say — my children are numerous, and everyone sound in body and judgment — and so are mine \[yours] … In those days the old men shall not weep, neither shall they depart in sorrow or pain; but angels shall bear them to their resting place. And lights shall be on every hill, and on every dwelling place as the Sun for brightness. And like birds of the air shall men move from place to place, and hold converse with one another. A pure language shall be given from their childhood by which all shall do the will of God on the sides of the North as the angels do in His presence.   For the choice place of the earth is handed over to you. Its beauties and riches in part, are yet hidden. But your children will develop it more and more. For there will be built the City of the Great King.   (George Williams, Letters to William James, January 6, 1879 and Summer 1879, quoted in *Joseph Morris and the Saga of the Morrisites Revisited*, 207.)   *** **Source:** C.
