14 I spent the day in the office. In the Evening I attended the lectures
at the 70s Hall. Orrelius Miner gave a lecture upon Law spoke over
an hour He was followed by Hosea Stout upon Politics. He was
followed by Judge Kenny who spoke rather more upon the
gospel than any thing Els. He said the Municiple Law the Judges
& Lawyiers were all an Evil in community perhaps a Necessary
Evil. thought if we would preach morality instead of Law it would be better

Events as they pass before our Eyes day by day, this will make a valua- ble legacy to our children as and well a great Benefit to future gener- ations by giving them a true History of the rise & progress of the Church & kingdom of God upon the Earth in this last dispen- sation instead of leaving it to our Enemies to write a fals History of the true Church of Christ. Brethren and sisters we are making History Every day let that History be good let us do the works of righteousness that when our acts are recorded we shall be satisfied with them Either in time or Eternity I ask these Blessings in the Name of Jesus Christ Amen
