Journal Entry

December 23, 1866 ~ Sunday

23 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning, attended
meeting in the Tabernacle all day. President H. C. Kimball preached
one hour & 45 minutes. In the Afternoon President Brigham Young
spoke one hour & 28 minutes it was a powerful sermon. He
counciled the Saints to support our Friends & let our Enemies alone
He said there were some things he could not think of He said
it did seem to him there was not a man on Earth Brutall Enough
to go & call out Dr Robinson to officiate as a surgeon & then mur-
der him & he could not think of the mountain Massacre. He
supposed they were massacreed by savages but he did not think
before that they were as brutal as that. He spoke upon a great
variety of subject. I met with the Presidency & 12 for Prayer
