Day in the Life

Mar 22, 1847

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
