6th Sunday I attended meeting Elder preached
He spoke vary well exhorted the saints to faithfulness the
young men to study the different languages that they might
be useful among the Nations He exhorted the saints that was expetg [expecting]
to stay in the to do all they could to forward the work of God He said
if any of the brethren wanted to be marterd or lay down their
lives for Christ sake they can have a chance by going to
or some of those foreign Nations He said that after
the Danish Government had banished the Amarican Elders from
the Kingdom that the native brethren said to the poliece the
seed is sown the truth is here it is in our hearts & we are here
ourselves & shall defend the truth many interesting remarks
were maid by Brother Snow
President followed & said the organization
of man is one of the deepest subjects that the phylosopher of the
day attempt to investig[at]e the mystery of man in his organiza
tion has been a study for ages it has been a mystery but it
is because of ignorance their is no such thing as mystery or miracle
ownly to the ignorant any intelligent being that knows the
caus & effect of things it is no myracle or mystery it is our
privilege to asspire after that knowledge that the greatest intel
igance possesses we should take that course that we may ever
increase in knowledge than we are sure of exhaltation
why I make mention of this thing is because I look
upon this people who are now before me I am like the
rest of you that when the light of truth shines upon me
my mind enlightened and I am asstonished to look at
the world of mankind their actions are like little Children
you look at your children about the House & you will see pe[r]fect
pattern of the world the children will fight & cry about &
after evry thing that they ought not to have they want a looking
glass hammer razor & many things that they would injure
themselves & are not old enough to handle so it is with all
the world if they had all their desires granted them they
would leap deaches, fences, hedges & gutters & go to hell across
lots & never wait to take the road even old men like children
will ask for things they cannot use and I can see the same
