24th
Sunday I attended Meeting at the Tabernacle and herd
a discourse from Elder Joseph Hovey he spoke vary well. he told
his experience from the begining of the work he was followed by
President Brigham Young who sustained Brother Hovey in what
he had said. He then took up the subject of the courts as held in
Great Salt Lake City and also the ungodly course of the Lawyiers who
carry on those courts. He cursed them in the Name of the Lord with
a great curse & All Israel said Amen. He spoke in the spirit &
power of God. He called Zerubabel Snow by name & he cursed
him and all that He had. His serman is published in the times
Deseret News Vol [blank] Number [blank]
I attended the prayer meeting at the Presidents Office
{President Young said I do think that my brethren of the} 12 {and all others that belong to the church that have no other
business only to go to those courts should come and give up
their license and be dismissed from their calling. It is no place
for us. I will say that to any one of the} 12 {or any elders that
have done their duty know more about law than lawyers do.
President Young said to} E Snow {that if he held to} Z Snow {that he should share in his blessings if it was in hell fire.
Brother Snow asked forgiveness of the Quorum for what he had done}
At the close of the Prayers I went to the 13 ward & Preached then
to the 14th ward & Herd Elder Benson Preach. We had word in counsel
that the Indians had again commenced war had killed three
Boys & driven off Horses & cattle several Indians had been killed
