Day in the Life
Journal Entry
September 08, 1838 ~ Saturday
Sept 8th For the first time in my life I obtained the Journal & travels of Lorenzo Dow I spent a
part of the day in reading it I found it to be highly interesting he puts me in mind of the travels of
the Mormons as the gentiles call us It brings fresh to mind many of my own travels & labours in the ministry
It is true that Lorenzo dDow was eccentric in his manners life & procedings but he appears to have as much
light as any in his day & generation & there is no doubt in my mind but that he was persecuted for doing good
