February 01, 1857 ~ Sunday

Sunday Feb 1^st 1857 I went to meeting at the Tabernacle & the House
was Filled to overflowing. At the opening of the meeting A Cordon
spoke a short time to the people while He was speaking H. C. Kimball
came in & soon President Young came in & it created a great
sensation among the people for it was the first time he had been
seen in the Tabernacle since the day that J. M. Grant was buried. Brother
Cordon soon stoped & President Young arose & addressed the people
for about 1 1/2 hours & he spok in great plainness of the things
of the kingdom of God his words penetrated the Hearts of many
the great assembly felt the wait of his words. He was followed by
H. C. Kimball & D. H. Wells who spoke in an edifying manner all
will be printed in the Deseret News. I attended the prayer circle
in the evening when I arived there I saw a large company of men
& women coming out of the Presidents office. He had been sealing men
& women from the close of the meeting up to that time & had to turn away
many which he could not attend to

I preached in the evening at the 2nd ward school house A Cordon
spoke also Brother Tune & Bishop Hill. I then spoke about one hour
& had the spirit of God upon me & the people with myself were edifyed

edified
