Journal Entry

June 11, 1860 ~ Monday

11 A rainy morning several of the Brethren cought some Fine trout
we rode to Wellsville we held a meeting in the Evening Elder Wells
spoke about Herding not to send out childeren alone to be killed by the
Indians. He was followed by Erastus Snow, who spoke of building up
Zion President Young followed spoke upon the subject of prayer
also the productions of the valley He said it was folly to ask the Lord


to assist us to live our religion when we had the gospel of salvation
and the Holy Priesthood and it was our fault if we did not live our
religion for we had the means of doing so in our hands it would be like
our sitting down to a great feast & then ask the Lord to Feed us.

Elder Taylor & myself spent the night at Brother Ames
