Journal Entry

Jan 28. We had a hard snow storm it snowed all day
[FIGURES] I was again wraped in vision during a good
deal of the night concerning the destiny of our Nation and
of Zion It was strongly manifest to me the duty of the Apostles
and Elders to go into our Holy places & Temples and wash our feet
and bear testimony to God & the Heavenly hosts against the wicked-
ness of this Nation My pillow was wet with the fountain of ftears
that flowed as I Beheld the Judgments of God upon the wicked
