February 13, 1853 ~ Sunday

13^th Sunday Meeting was addressed in the morning B[y] Brother Joseph
Young He spoke of the blessings of the people it was not wealth &
riches that made men happy but it was by having the truth & obey-
ing if this people are called a happy people well they are in a great
measure yet many of the saints have disappointment in their path
yet we should trust all our affairs in the hands of god we should
do right & follow the counsel of those that are set over us & carry
out their views & the blessing of God will attend us & we shall be happy

J. M. Grant followed and said he hoped all would
attend to their prayers it takes as much to damn a man as it
does to save him some wonder why we dont have revelation
now in our day as well as in the days of Joseph. in his day the bretn
would not build a log cabin till they went to Joseph to ask counsel
how they should set it whare they should put the door &c but at
the present day men have learned to do sumthing themselves without
troubling the president or the Lord about it some have thought if they
could get to Jackson Co Mo or in this valley they would be Holy & amdng [and among]
a Holy people but I do not know of any soil that will make men

when we go to the house of mourning we mourn as it were in spirit and our minds are called to serious truths but what would really be a case of mourning it would be to follow a person to the grave who had not improved their day of salvation had an oppertunity of being saved & exhalted & had neglected it that would be a case of mourning but a person that had done the best they could & improved their oppor- tunities of salvation we have no cause to mourn

~ Brigham Young

upon no other principle can I warrant anybody salvation exsept upon the principle of doing good & obeying the Lord do good to your families & to each other.
