Journal Entry

September 13, 1846 ~ Sunday

13th Sunday I met the Twelve & saints at
the meeting ground. Meeting opened by prayer
by O Pratt who arose we have often been
taught to listen to council given from the head
I do not consider it necessary to treat to day
upon the first principles of the gospel as those
things are understood by you as well as by me. I
have thought of treating upon scientific Principles
there is no truth but what comes from God, it
requires a portion of the spirit of God to know

On th we held meeting. Orson Pratt discoursed upon Sceentific principles. He was followed by President H. C.

And I want the Camp of Israel to understand that we must be. If Heaven was not controlled by law what sort of a place would it be? I would not wish to be there for where we rushed into heaven without law every man would be in danger of loosing his rights and having them trampled upon. But all celestial beings are governed by law and order for the celestial law is a perfect order of things—a perfect system of light law intelligence exaltation and glory where every person's right's are sustained to the fullest extent
