9. Sunday
I received 2 letters from Wilford & Susan she has another son
& call his name George I met with my Quorum in the Morning &
Attended Meeting in the Tabernacle Claudius Spencer spoke vary
well for 25 Minutes & W. Woodruff spoke in the power of God for 30 M[inutes]
Afternoon Prayer By J. F. Smith O Hyde spoke 37 M[inutes], & G Q Cannon 40
& W Woodruff 15 Much of the Power of God rested upon the speakers
through the day. I closed my remarks By saying that God commanded
Daniel the Prophet to Pray & He Prayed three times a day with his
windows Hoisted & his Enemies said if He did pray & make any petition
to any God or king for 3 days He should be cast into the den of Lions
But He did pray, his enemies cast him into the den of Lions & his God
Delivered him. [Daniel 6:4-23] The three Hebrews were told if they did not fall down
& worship the Golden Image of Nebechudnezzar that they should be cast
into the Firyey furnisace &But they worshiped God & would not worship
the Image & they were cast into the firey Furnisace But the form of the
Fourth was with them & they were saved. [Daniel 3:14-28] Now in our day, God
has revealed unto us the Patriarchal order of Marriage & has said
if we do not obey it we shall be damned. Congress has said if
do obey it we shall be damned now tiwhich shall we obey God or
Congress, for it is God & Congress for it The assembly shouted as
By acclimation we will obey God.
I met in the Evening with the
Presidency & Twelve for Prayer & Preached in the Evening in the 20 ward
