Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 3
On in the Prayer circle the subject of
William Smith was brought up. It was said that Joseph Smith
prophesied that his brother William would become a good man when
he became an old man. Some of the brethren present at our prayer
circle thought he said if he ever did become good it would be when he was
an old man.
President Young then said whether Joseph said it or not
I will say in the name of the Lord that if William Smith lives till he is
65 or 70 he will become a good humble man; he will do the best he can
He will have to answer for his sins. Write this brother Woodruff
and put it into the Church History. When a man gives way to the
power of the devil he finds it hard to recover himself.
