Sunday 5 I was quite sick the latter part of the night &
through the day I was not able to attend meeting S M Blair
Preached in the morning followed by President Young in the Afternoon
Lorenzo Young & others. I attended the prayer circle in the evening
several missionaries were chosen to go to texas & some Jerman
Swiss, & Norwegen Elders to go to those of their nation in the
states. In conversing upon various principles President Young
thought none would inherit this Earth when it became celestial
& translated into the presence of God but those who would be crowned
as Gods & able to endure the fulness of the Presance of God except
they might be permitted to take with them some servants for
whom they would be held responsible all others would have to
inherit another kingdom even that kingdom agreeing with the
law which they had kept yet He thought they would eventually
have the privilege of proveing themselves worthy & advanceing
to a celestial kingdom but it would be a slow progress
On Saturday evening Aug 4th The Universal scientific
[FIGURE] society met in the Music Hall And herd an Address
deliverd by Professor Orson Pratt. He there made
known the Law governing the Planetary rotation
which was the first time that Law was ever made
known to the inhabitants of the Earth in this age of the
world & we have no account of its ever being revealed
to man before it is the Law which Asstronomers have
diligently sought to find out for many centauries
