adjournment singing & Prayer by W W Phelps
President Young said the time had come to commence
the business of the semianual conference the business
of the last conference was productive of more good
than any conference we ever held. the keeping
of the word of wisdom has done much good I will be
exceding glad when we arive at wisdom in all things
the word of wisdom was given in Kirtland 20 years
ago for the benefit of all Saints when we live 20
or 50 years longer we shall see that we do not
understand much of the word of wisdom we are
but babes in understanding wisdom who understands
it, was all spoken that might be spoken their is but
one ysystem of explaining any Revelation & that is the Rev-
elation of Jesus Christ in the heart of man when he
possesses the Holy Ghost we are forbidden to use meat in hot
weather. Hot drinks & tobaco is not good for man you should
not eat to over load your stomach. their is a greater
lack in my system of wisdom of tempering my food &
exercise than in eating meat or tobaco. Tithing is com

graineries & stour house are full of wheat & good things
If this people are rich beautiful & happy I am with
them. If they are miserable I am still with them if this
people are not Crowned & saved none of us will
be [FIGURE] it is in vain for one man to build himself up &
neglect his brothers interest He will fail in it. we
must begin to manifacture all we want or we are slaves

Mormonism & Mormonism is against evry thing everything
is against us Hear it O Earth for the kingdom of God is
against all Earth & Hell this is true & we shall fight
