Day in the Life
Journal Entry
March 30, 1873 ~ Sunday
30. Sunday I met at the Old Tabernacle at 10 oclok with President
Brigham Young, D. H. Wells The Twelve Apostles, with many others
met with some 4000 Sunday School children & spent about
2 Hours with them in listning to them while singing the songs of Zion
addresses were made to them by W. Woodruff J. Taylor, B. Yo[u]ng jr
J F. Smith & G. Q. Cannon. It was a pleasing sight The presidency
[FIGURE] and Twelve met at the 16 ward School House at 2 oclok
to Dedicate their new School House or Meeting [House] G. Q. Cannon offered
the Dedication Prayer D. H. Wells addressed the Assembly 50 Minutes
and John Taylor 28 Minutes at the close of the Meeting we met at
the Historians office & had our Evening Prayers President Brigham
Young said I thought while looking at the school children to day that
I should see a much larger assembly of school children in the spirit
world when we meet with all the children who have lived on the
Earth & Died without sin, & I thought would their be as many
grown Persons worthy to be with them in proportion to the number
of teachers with them to day But I think there will not. Again
President Young said Joseph the Prophet told me that the garden
of Eden was in Jackson Co Missouri, & when Adam was
driven out of the garden of Eden He went about 40 Miles to the
place which we Named Adam Ondi Ahman, & there built an
Alter of stone & offered sacraificze. [Moses 5:1-5] that Altar remains to this day
I saw it as Adam left it, as did many others, & through all the revo-
lutions of the world that Altar had not been disturbed. Joseph also
said that when the City of Enoch fled & was translated it was whare
the gulf of Mexico now is, it left that gulf a body of water
I preached in the 13 ward in the Evening
