Journal Entry

February 03, 1856 ~ Sunday

3rd Sunday I attended meeting in the Tabernacle. P. P. Pratt addressed
the People spoke upon drilling wheat cultivating less land & doing it
better. He was followed by President Kimball who said what
Brother Pratt had said was Gods truth evry word of it for all
truth was gods truth some people cannot see the end of theire nose
if they did they would know more I believe men in their resurrected
bodies eat or they would die I believe they eat as well as men in ther
mortal bodies. You have got to be subject to the priesthood & learn to
obey your head or you will be damned. we have the Apostles here to
lead us and if we are passive in ther hands we shall be saved
you should be vary careful of the Apostles while you have them
with you speak well of them & treat them kindly & do them good or
you will suffer you expect to be saved But you have got to do right
A man asked me if I had not got women sealed to me that
