Journal Entry

January 17, 1858 ~ Sunday

17th Sunday I was sick all day and did not attend meeting at
the tabernacle. Brother Taylor & Brigham Young preached in the
morning and Heber C Kimball & D H Wells in the afternoon

I attended the Prayer Circle. President Young spoke upon
order. He formed a true circle he made each man toe
the mark and keep good order or stay at home you
must be of one heart and one mind for Jesus said when
two or three are gathererd together in my name and are
agreed as touching any one thing and asked the father in
my name it shall be given unto you [Matthew 18:19-20] now Jesus did not
tel a lie and when any prayer is offered up & not answered
it is because you are not agreed in it and their prayers are
not offered in faith and union. now this is true and I want
good order and must have it. I would rather trust my faith
alone than with company who are not agreed with me

I want the Twelve to go to the meeting to morrow night to make
speeches upon the subject of Home manufacturing I want the
Bishops to organize the words [wards] in such a manner that we can
find the mechanics if there is any man that can take care of
sheep I want him to do it and so with every other Branch of
Business. Brother Heber said that there should not be another Merchant
come into our midst and set up anoth[er] store I sa[i]d Amen and
I mean to hold on to the Amen, and have faith in it. The
subject of the Bank came up and much was said upon the
subject. President Young said of Gen Jackson had with his
influence esstablished a United States Bank and Branches
and not permitted any other Banks in the country it would
have been a good thing for the country
