there was one subject I wished to speak upon & that was writing & keeping a Journal of the dealings of God with us I have many times thought the Quorum of the Twelve & others considered me rather enthu- siastic upon this subject But when the Prophet Joseph organized the Quorum of the Twelve he Commanded them to write & keep a Journal or History of their lives & gave his reasons why they should do it I think the Twelve Apostles & all the Elders of Israel who bear the Holy Priesthood should keep a Journal of their official acts & the dealings of God with them I would be glad to read the Acts of My forefathers if they had never herd of a God But esspecially when men are called to stand at the head of a Great dispensation like this & to build up the kingdom of God on the Earth to remain forever, they of all men on Earth ought to write & keep a true & correct History of the rise & progress of that Kingdom, of the Revelations of Jesus Christ & his dealings with us as we travel
