Day in the Life
Journal Entry
August 05, 1860 ~ Sunday
Aug 5. Sunday I met with my Qoorum in the morning A. O. Smoot
Prayed & L W Hardy was mouth. The subject was spoken off about
Jason Luce, & Lot Huntington & their party overpowering the Poliece &
Jeter Clintons court one day during the past week. The Mayor
will take the matter up tomorrow.
President Young Preached in the forenoon a powerful discourse he spoke vary
plain with regard to the Gentiles. He followed Brother Bywater & H. C. kimball
all of which spoke much to the Edifycation of the people. I attended the
meeting in the afternoon & herd President Young deliver one of the most edify-
ing discourses I ever herd in my life His subject was "what are the
pleasures of life." He spoke of Eating & drinking as being two of the greatest
pleasurs of the worlding but that pleasure ownly lasts while he is swallowing
He nomanated the various pleasures and a person would soon be saciated in
any of them but if a man Enjoyed the spirit & power of God, the Holy Ghost
the gift of Eternal Life it was like a living well of water within him He was
Happy all the time. I went home with President Young & took supper
with him. I also had a social conversation with D. H. Wells. The Twelve
did not meet in the Prayer Circle as there were none of the Quorum
in the city Except Erastus Snow & myself & Brother Snow did not
come. In conversation with President Young He said in speaking of
the Twelve their business was to preach the gospel and they ought to be
abroad preaching
