22nd ^Sunday^ I spent most of the fore part of the day at
I spent the afternoon with Presidents &
& . Capt travels was a subject of
Conversation the Island were spoken of. He visited 40 of
the group. President Young showed us on the map whare the
Apostles Preached the country through which they travelled and
probably it continued to the Archipeligo and that the Malays
had the gospel and that the Israelitish traditions were among
them. President Young said that all the world would have
been warned long ago in our day if all the world had bee[n] as faith-
ful in warning his Neighbor as He & many of the Elders of this
Church. When going to Zion in 1834 reproved the camp
while standing upon a waggon wheel I said I had done the best
I could & could not Better it if I was to try it again H. C. Kimball
said the same. They said they had been in the Church nearly
half of his life. (I WW have been in the Church more than half
of my life) I remarked that it was an interesting time to live to
to see the fulfillment of the President Young said it was an interesting
time. H C Kimball said we should see it Just as well if Dead as
if alive. President Young said, while we are in the flesh, we have
to contend against evil spirits and Devils in a way which will
be hid from us in the Spirit World. Brother Kimball said in
speaking of our Prayer circle I never saw in that
circle but what I felt sorry to see him there. President Young
said He would never have been there If you had not Recommended
him for I had not confidence enough in him He leacked [lacked] & so
did & others, what is spoken in a prayer circle
should never be Named out of the circle not [to] a wife or any body
Els if there is any thing to be said I will say it I could preach
