We have much pleasure in publishing and recommending the following plan to be adopted amongst the sisters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in England. We believe that the completion of the Temple is as near the hearts of the sisters as to the hearts of the brethren, and that the following proposed [plan] will be responded to on the part of the English sisters in a manner that shall reflect honor upon themselves, and be materially instrumental in forwarding the great work. {143} NAUVOO, Dec. 25, 1843. _To the Sisters of the Church of Jesus Christ in England, Greeting_:-- DEAR SISTERS:--This is to inform you that we have here entered into a small weekly subscription for the benefit of the Temple funds. One thousand have already joined it, while many more are expected, by which we trust to help forward the great work very much. The amount is only one cent or a halfpenny per week. As Brother Amos Fielding is waiting for this, I cannot enlarge more than to say that myself and Sister Thompson are engaged in collecting the same. We remain, Your affectionate sisters in Christ, MARY SMITH, M. R. THOMPSON. NAUVOO, Dec. 25, 1843. The ladies' subscription for the Temple, of one cent per week, is fully sanctioned by the First Presidency. HYRUM SMITH. We feel much to encourage this plan, and trust that the sisters in England will manifest that they will not be behind the sisters in Nauvoo in this laudable work. One thing in connection with this work we would mention, and request that it be attended to with the strictest accuracy; that is, that the name of each individual be recorded, and the amount which they subscribe, in order that such names may be transmitted to Nauvoo, where they will have to be entered in the books of the Lord's House. The sisters or others who may collect the subscriptions will please to be very particular on this point. [Sidenote: Prophet's Joy at the Return of Rockwell and Avery.] _Tuesday, 26.--_At home. I rejoiced that Rockwell had returned from the clutches of Missouri, and that God had delivered him out of their hands. Brother Daniel Avery also arrived about dusk this evening; and the Missourians have no longer the pleasure of exulting over any Mormon victims for the present; but their blood-thirstiness will not long be satisfied unless they seek out another victim on whom to glut their malice and vengeance. _Wednesday, 27:--_Cold: a little ice in the river, which has been clear for some time past. {144} I received letters from General Lewis Cass, of Michigan, and Hon. John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, in answer to mine of Nov. 4. Mr. Keith gave a lecture and concert of music in the assembly room this evening. MR. ROCKWELL. _(Editorial from the Neighbor.)_
