And it came to pass that on a certain day a needy man came to visit this Soul, craving for the ocean of His knowledge. While conversing with him, mention was made concerning the signs of the Day of Judgment, Resurrection, Revival, and Reckoning. He urged Us to explain how, in this wondrous Dispensation, the peoples of the world were brought to a reckoning, when none were made aware of it.
Such a colony as he instituted could not but prosper. Its rising glories were proclaimed in every country of Europe, and the needy and distressed of all countries sought this realized Utopia. In two years after Philadelphia was settled, it contained six hundred houses. Peace was uninterrupted, and the settlement spread more rapidly than in any other part of North America.
Grace exclaimed. "I know our heavenly Father will take care of me, but it's good to feel Lu's arms round me too."

About the close of the year 1700, Governor Blake died, and a dispute arose in the upper house about the succession to the government.

"De sthep-mudder does nodt treat her very kindly Oh, I know! She has so many kinder of her own. Sadie vork all de time ven she iss de school oudt." They discussed the other needy neighbors for half an hour longer.
Here reigned the appointed representative of Jesus, and she imagined a benignant image of a prince clothed with honor and splendor, who was yet the righter of all wrongs, the redresser of all injuries, the friend and succorer of the poor and needy; and she was firm in a secret purpose to go to this great and benignant father, and on her knees entreat him to forgive the sins of her lover, and remove the excommunication that threatened at every moment his eternal salvation.
