June 29, 1862 ~ Sunday
29 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning & attended
meeting through the day in the Bowery. President Young preached in the
morning upon the subject of Apostacy & death including Joseph
Morris and those gathered with him at South webber He said
if he had had his own way he would have let them staid &
rotted there He would not have disturbed them but Judge
Kinney thought the Law must be honored & magnifyed & he
called out a posse & it cost the lives of two innocent men of that
posse & several of the Morrisites were Killed but one drop of blood
of an innocent man is worth more than that whole company of
thieves & I warn all men in this Church not to baptize one of
that company without my consent if you do you will stand
a chance of looseing your own standing. That whole company
are guilty of sheding innocent Blood & would have shed the blood
of Every righteous man on the Earth if they had the power. they
will not obtaine salvation Except it be through Hell fire & not much
then G. A. Smith followed. In the afternoon Daniel Carnes & H C.
