25 Sunday I attended the meeting at the Tabernacle Mr A Cumings
and Col Kane attended the meeting Gov Cummings address
the people professed to be our friend wished if any felt oppressed or
wanted his protection to manifest it by vote and to write to him under
^a^ sealed note a vote was taken and 3 hands raised out of 3000.
Mr Cummings was answered in a masterly manner By Br
Gilbert Clemients John Taylor followed but being vary hard and
personal to Mr Cumings was stoped by President Young, who also
introduced Mr Cumings to the congregation at the commencment
I attended the prayer meeting in the evening. President Young
said the family Altar was the same as an A[l]tar in the prayer
circle it is for parents and children to Join hands over the
Alter and pray. President Young said we have a report from
the brethren who went into the desert and they have found a
desert as we have been looking for He said I told Hiram to make
some thin Boxes and put my windows in mark them so we may know
whare they go for I should not think strange if we used them
in the same place. If the devil had all power I should not have
any hope but would say Mr Devil go at it now and use us up as
soon as you please But I know Jesus Christ has more power than
the Devil I have rebuked the devil many times and he has
obeyed me and many Elderls in this when we have spoken in the
name of the Lord
