Jul 8, 1855

Journal Entry

July 08, 1855 ~ Sunday

July 8th [FIGURE] Sunday J. M. Grant spoke from the Lords prayer [Matthew 6:9-13]
and was filled with the spirit of God. He spoke
very plain concerning the Kingdom of God & Gentiles who
worked abominations in Zion. He was followed by O Pratt
upon the same subject in an interesting manner

In the afternoon President Young Addressed the people upon
the subject of the Gentiles coming to Zion & interfereing with
our institutions polluting our females & committing abominations
in Israel. He declaired they should be put to death if they
followed it any more. I attended the prayer circle in the
evening
