Day in the Life
Journal Entry
March 22, 1847 ~ Monday
22nd It was cold this morning there was A meeting of the
Presidency & captains of companys & resolved to stockade the
city of winter quarters & for the Twelve to go foreward to pick
out a resting place for the Saints. In the evening I attended a
council of the Bishops & Twelve remarks were made upon a
variety of subjects Brother B. Young spoke upon the subject
of Patriarchal Blessings & the Blessing of children said that any
father who held the Priesthood was A Patriarch to his own family
& when He blessed his children it was a patriarchal Blessing
If a man wrote the Blessing of his children & could get the
Historian to write it it was well enough but the Historian
could not write all the children Blessings in the Church
