Day in the Life
Journal Entry
18 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning Brother Moody was mouth
in opening & Edward Hunter followed I attended meeting at the Tabernacle
J Taylor Preached. I called upon President Young & spent 2 hours in his office
I then met with President Kimball & conversed with him in the office then
we spent a short time with G. A. Smith I then took a walk with Brother
Kimball about his premises he spoke upon the subject of Famine said he was sati[s]f[i]ed
that it would come. I attended meeting at the 14th warbd school House Robert
L Campbell spoke a short time I followed him I had the spirit of the Lord
upon me I spoke plain & pointed upon apostacy I said that when men who
had embraced the gospel of Jesus Christ and received the Priesthood
they were then in a situation to become Saints or Devils and as long as
they were led by the spirit of the Lord and they live there religion they
will do the works of righteousness and obey the Lord. But when they ceace
to pray and loose the spirit of the Lord and begins to give way to that which
is evil his guardian Angel leaves him, and the spirit of the devil takes
possession of him and he begins to do the work of the devil and all the
sins which is necessary for a man to commit in order to become a Devil
is laid in his path and he is immediately tempted to commit them esspecia-
lly the sheding of innocent Blood for which their is no Forgiveness in this
world nor in the world to come [Doctrine and Covenants 42:18] this crime the apostate seeks to commit and
this will make a Devil of them Jesus was put to death by the Jews, his
Brethren the seed of Abraham Joseph Smith was put to death through the
Influence of his Brethren and those who had born the Holy Priesthood
& stood near him in office and betrayed him as was the Savior by Judas [Matthew 26:47-49]
it is so in this day Men who have received the Holy Priesthood are seeking
to betray Brigham Young to death they seek to shed the Blood of the
Innocent that they may become deevils they are inspiried by the devil
to do this and such men exist right here in this city and territory
and they will continue to exist upon the Earth untill Christ reigns
