The great gifts with which God had endowed man were perverted. There was gold and silver in abundance, and men were constantly seeking to exceed their fellow men in devices. The result was that violence was upon the earth. The Lord was forgotten. This long-lived race were constantly devising how they might [contend] with the universe of heaven and gain possession of Eden.—Letter 65, 1898, p. 3. (To Brethren Griggs and Howe, typed August 23, 1898.) 7MR 367.1
