24th Took the partingpains to assist Elder Smoot to
settle his business in Kirtland which took up
the major part of the day. I Met at candle light
in the house of the Lord with the quorum of the seve-
nties we had an interesting interview their was sev-
eral ordained under the hands of President Silvester
Smith to the third Seventy then we herd two
lengthy discourses one from Elder J. E. Page
and the other from Elder P. P. Pratt which was int-
eresting in the first degree the meeting closed but litt-
le before midnight. We had been threatened by a
mob from Panesville to visit us that night & demolish
our Bank & take our property but they did not
appeare but the wrath of our enemies appears to
be kindled against us this in part is the scourge that
hath awated us. But may the Lord show us mercy
& deliver us from the hand of our enemies for Christ sake
