)E Poob of juniors ©EING a record of the tribe of Gilbert in the first year of the reign of Judge Henderson. 1. Now behold, it came to pass in the first year of the reign of the righteous Judge Henderson of the Weber Academy, there arose a mighty class of Juniors of the tribe of Gilbert. 2. And it came to pass that they walked in the ways of their rulers and be- cause of their righteousness, they gained much favor in the sight of the Judge. 3. Lo, and behold because of their righteousness, it came to pass that they gathered together for a time of great rejoicing. 4. And it came to pass, while they were thus gathered together the mighty hosts of Seniors of the tribe of Ernest, rebelled against the Juniors, in so much that they gathered together their armies to destroy them. 5. But lo, and behold, the Juniors remembered the righteous teachings of their judge inasmuch that they returned good for evil even so in permitting the Seniors to partake of their unleavened bread and wine, whereas the mighty hosts of Seniors of the tribe of Ernest, and the mighty hosts of Juniors of the tribe of Gilbert were again united inasmuch as they were again able to partake of the spirit of unity. 6. Now it came to pass that on the twentieth day of the fifth month in the first year of the reign of Judge Henderson the Juniors again gained favor in the sight of the judge in as much that they again gathered themselves together, yea, even for a time of great feasting and rejoicing. 7. Now it came to pass that after their great day of feasting they again walked in the righteous ways of their judge, and remembered his teachings. 8. But lo, and behold it came to pass that the sons of Gilbert hardened their hearts against the daughters of Myrtle, in as much that there arose a great re- bellion. 9. Nevertheless the daughters of Myrtle assembled their forces together to cause vengeance to come upon the sons of Gilbert, and they sent a proclamation unto the sons of Gilbert, that they should not come nigh them even in whatsoever place they should be. 10. Now behold, a feeling of jealousy arose between the two forces even so the sons of Gilbert secretly planned revenge upon the fair daughters. 11. And it came to pass that they gathered together for a time of rejoicing to bring remorse upon the daughters of Myrtle, in so much that there was a con- ttnual war between them. 12. But yea, even now it came to pass that the sons of Gilbert softened their rrard5 daughters of Myrtle, and behold peace again reigned throughout st'ff n°W after many months of righteousness the Juniors became V n.ec c neoPle and hearkened not unto the words of their judge, even so 14 C°?spired a ainst him secretly, reipn of th ?e,.eas came to pass in the commencement of the first year of the e ju ?e on the sixteenth day of the seventh month, there arose a second

Eve, who lead the mighty tribe away from the righteous teachings of their ji into the hills of destruction. 15. And yea, the great judge was exceedingly wroth, in so much tha cast them out from his sight. 16. And Lo and behold they wandered three days and three nights in wilderness, and they were lifted up in the pride of their hearts in so much that did not repent, and they were rejected and their names blotted out, and they i not numbered among the righteous. 17. Nevertheless after due repentance, they were recalled again to d among the righteous, wherefore they again gained favor in the sight of the g judge, and they walked in all his ways. 18. And now, behold peace and love was restored among the people, i much that they searched the Scriptures, and hearkened no more unto the w of Eve. 19. And yea, even now it came to pass, that great preparations were n among the tribe of Gilbert, for a time of rejoicing with the tribe of Ernest, for the tribe of Ernest were preparing to journey across the mighty waters an unknown land to seek the lest tribes that had gone before them. 20. Now verily, it came to pass that the writers of this record are gro old, and will leave this record to be completed by the more righteous who c hereafter. 21. And this ends the record of the first year of the reign of Judge Hender over the tribe of Gilbert even in the years of Nineteen Hundred Ten and N teen Hundred Eleven, and such is the record of the Class of Nineteen Twel Even so, Amen.
