31st
I herd the report of the doings of the court Judge threat
ened to arest Gov they came near a collission some
boys threw stones at the centinels they reported that to the com-
mander [who] gave orders oif any more was flung to fire in the direction
and if the fire was returned to kill all the prisioners immediately
it seems a difficult matter to keep from having a collision
between the citizens and troops.
[FIGURE] I attended the funeral of Sister . A large congre-
gation assembled, there was also President
& presient also W Woodruff
& , also Bishop
Hunter & many Bishops & Elders they sung "O My Father thou
that dwellest." O Pratt Prayed. Another Hymn was sung
Elder O. Pratt then addressed the People. And said what
I may say I do not know, but I hope I may be led to say
what will be for the best. Since I came here my eyes have
been saluted with one thing, and that is that death has power
over all things that we see. we are called upon to part with
our best friends and have them taken away from us what
we now see in death, and what has happened from the Beginning
in like manner will all the millions who now dwell upon the
whole Earth will be called to pass through the same change. If we
had no knowledge of God we should feel vary diferent from what
we now do. If we thought our bodies would lie in the dust and
never be raised again we should have great cause to mourn
