Journal Entry

January 17, 1837 ~ Tuesday

17th Met at candle light with the quorums of the Seventies
& was favored with a lecture from President
David Whitmer he warned us to humble ourselves
before God lest his hand rest upon us in anger for
our pride & many sins that we were runing into
in our days of prosperity as the ancient Nephites
did & it does now appear evident that a scourge
awates this stake of Zion even Kirtland if their
is not great repentance immediatly & almost
every countenance indicates the above expectation
esspecially the heads of the Church. See Dec 11th 1836
May the Lord in mercy enable us to Meet every event with resignation
