we done a good deal of work at that time on the temple. & it was difficult to get bread for the hands to eat. I told the people toor the committe who had charge of the temple means to deal out all the flour they had & God would give them more & they done so & it was but a short time before Brother Toronto come & brought me twenty five hundred dollars in gold the committee & the Bishop met & I met with them & they said that the Law was to lay the gold at the Apostles feet yes I said & I will lay it at the Bishops feet so I opened the mouth of the bag & took hold of the bottom end & gave it a yerk [jerk] towards the Bishop & strewed the gold across the room at his feet & I said now go & buy flour for the workmen on that temple & dont distrust the Lord any more for we will have what we need
