Day in the Life

Jul 13, 1856

Journal Entry

July 13, 1856 ~ Sunday

13th Sunday I spent the fore part of the day at home & the afternoon at
meeting. J M Barlow spoke for a short time was followed By Br
Kimball who dwelt upon a great variety of subjects. President
Young preached spoke upon the sanctification & Holiness of the
saints their final exhaltation & the spirits in the Eternal world
that were to come & take tabernacles the scene of this Earth would
not be wound up untill the last spirit had come & taken a body on
the Earth & inasmuch as the last spirit Gentiles do not wish child[ren]
but use evry exhertion to stop having progeny I pray God they
may be prospered in their desires untill their seed is dryed up
& that those spirits who have not taken bodies may come through
the linage of the saints. I attended the prayer meeting in the evening
