Pratt was mouth it was the first time Elder Hyde has met with us for some time He has been absent for some 3 weeks in consequence of hearing that there was some warrants out for him. The evening was spent in conversing upon the subject of the Ten tribes in the North Country, the Higher law of god in oposition to the law of gravitation in the assention of Christ. Elijah & Enoch & the City of Zion to heaven upon the same principle a portion of the North Country containing the ten tribes may be separated from the Earth.

After the Lord’s people were translated—for it was people who were caught up into heaven, not brick and mortar and stone; for there are better homes already in heaven than men can build on earth—after these righteous saints went to dwell beyond the veil, others, being converted and desiring righteousness, looked for a city which hath foundation, whose builder and maker is God, and they too “were caught up by the powers of heaven into Zion.”
