January 07, 1848 ~ Friday
7 In company with Mrs Woodruff I met with the quorum
of the Twelve & their Ladies to partake of a feast composed
of two large fat wild turkies & other rich food prepared by
Samuel Wooley we had an interesting feast & conversation
upon a variety of subjects among which was the spirit of God
and Holy Ghost, it was remarked that the spirit of God enli-
ghtneth every man that cometh into the world And when a
man was baptized for the remission of sins & hands laid upon
him for the gift of the Holy Ghost that blessing was sealed
upon him & tarried with him if he was faithful & as light
would recieve light & truth embrace truth the more of the
Holy Ghost A man had the more power he would have & the
more of the Holy Ghost would still cleave unto him and
other subjects were spoken off we spent the evening and
returned home
