Union and Peace at Nauvoo

We take this opportunity to say to the saints abroad,-all is union and peace at Nauvoo, and the temple is rising rapidly as a token that God has not forsaken his church and people. With the same health and industry that now blesses us, if the weather permits, but a few months more will elapse, and the temple of God at Nauvoo will be a standing witness for the gathering of Israel. It affords us a great consolation, too, to add, that the saints continue to come to Zion, to walk in the ways of the Lord: it seems he is softening the hearts of the people for good; and we pray that he may continue to do so, until the waste places of Zion shall be built up, and the "great temple" be built, whereon the 'cloud and pillar' shall rest; and in which the sons of Moses and Aaron shall minister an acceptable offering on Mount Zion.
