were received with warmth by Father Morley & the people in
general their is about 100 families here they are farming have
a school house commenced a council House, &c I called upon
Brother Brown & other friends Capt Jones &c we had a meeting in
the evening B Young addressed the meeting in an interesting manner
said his faith was that the Earth would not have produced for
the Gentiles as it has for us & if we had faith & power with God
to have the curse taken off instead of the sage brush & other
useless shrubs we should have the apple pear peach grape & evry
good fruit but if this people do not take a different course
from what they do in some things their blessings will prove a
curse & wo will be unto them & other remarks were made
