Day in the Life
Journal Entry
30 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning and attended
meeting in the Tabernacle all day. President Wells & Kimball spoke in
the morning & President Young Preached in the afternoon and He
delivered unto the people one of the most interesting Beneficial
doctrinal sermons that was ever delivered unto the House of
Israel. He revealed the principles of the Judgment. He said that
God would Judge the world but How would He Judge the world He would
not sit in Judgment upon Each individual case. But the Lord would
preside over all his Prophets and Apostles of Evry generation and
He sent them forth with a dispensation of the gospel to the children of
men in various ages of the world, those who recieved their testimony
and abided by their council would have no sins to pay for after
death, but the wicked would be Judged after death, it is said that
Christ will Judge the world But He chose 12 Apostles also 70 & many
others as Helps. it is said that the 12 Apostles would sit upon Twelve
Thrones & Judge the Twelve tribes of Israel but they will not
Judge all individual cases. Joseph Smith will preside over this dispen-
sation and Judge but He has chosen 12 Apostles 70ties & we have High
Priest, High Council, and Bishops to Jud[g]e the people Joseph will not Judge
Each individual neither shall I neither do I want to spend my time
in listening to the sins & nonsens of the People. But all the Saints should
submit to the authority which is over them if a man sins & He is
tryed by his bishop and Judgment passed upon him & the man submits
to that Judgment that is the End of the Law, and this is the fulfilling of
the scripture whare it says that "some mens sins go to Judgment before
while other follow after" [1 Timothy 5:24] if the Saints sin and they are tried, Judged
condemned, & the Saints submit to that Judgm[en]t they will never be Judged
afterwards. this power is given into the Hands of the Apostles or
those who hold the keys of the pristhood that "whosoever sins ye remit
are [remitted] & whosoever sins ye retain are retained and whatsoever ye
bind on Earth is bound in Heaven" [Doctrine and Covenants 132:46] I do not Expet that there
will be much time spent after death in Judging the Saints but the
wicked will have to be Judged. If I was to say that the sins
of this Church should be remitted & forgiven it would be done
but I dont want to say that for we have got to mayny poor
curses among us who will commit sin and I want them to
pay for there sins many other interiesting remarks were made
by President Young. I met with John Taylor & F. D. Richards
for Prayer John Taylor Prayer, F. D. Richards was mouth. I attended
meeting at the 14 ward in the Evening J. W. Cummings spoke followed by
by G. D. Watt
