Pleasant Vale, Pike co. Wm. Draper, jr. A POEM ON THE SUFFERING OF THE SAINTS IN MISSOURI,

By Joel H. Johnson

Why do the Heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing, the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall have them in derision. And break them with a rod of iron; and dash them in peices [pieces] like a potters vessel.-David.

No wonder why old David cried, No orphans cry, nor widows tear And were resolved t' obey the same,

"Why do the Heathen rage!" Can pity now receive; Though hell against them raise;

When we look around on every side In weather cold and winter drear, And so have died for Jesus, name,

And see them all engage: Their firesides have to leave. Like saints in ancient days,

To persecute the saints of God, Yes destitute of food and clothes, How long O Lord shall men prevail,

And take them for a prey; 'Mong strangers seek employ; To kill and drive thy saints?

Bind them in chains and shed their blood While earthly fiends and hellish foes, Let not, O God, thy promise fail,

And drive them far away. Still seek them to destroy. But hear thou their complaints!

Their lands and houses left behind, While some have bled upon their lands,

Thus from their homes are cast; Their testament to seal-
