Day in the Life
Journal Entry
February 24, 1857 ~ Tuesday
24 I called at the office corrected one of my sermons in the morning for the press
I spent the day in the office. I attended the missionary meeting at the
office I made a few remarks was followed by G. D. Grant M. Atwood
J. Cummings D. D. Hunt F. D. Richards & W Woodruff we had a good
meeting I said that there was one principle which was a pleasure to me
as an example President Young is appointed to lead this church now
the Lord in looking upon his work when he sees him walking in the same
path & doing the same things which the Lord would do himself itf he were
here he is pleased with it And so with President Young. He is watching
this people & he is watching us as leaders & teachers & he knows almost every
thing which is going on throughout the Church & kingdom of God & if he
sees us doing the same things which he would do & teaching the same doctrin
He is pleased with us & seese that we are in the right path. It is so with me
to night the vary things which were resting upon my mind since I
have been sitting here have been preached by Broth Cummings & Brother
Richards this is a Joy to me for it shows that it is the spirit of truth
& that it reveals the same things to us all
