December 31, 1880 ~ Friday

31, 1880 This is the last day of the year 1880 I once little
Thought I would live to see this date But I have lived to see it
as well as some of my Brethren. Great changes have taken
Place in the Church in some respects and in the world, the Church
has been organized with A first Presidency for the third
time & the Quorum of the Twelve filled up & in these changes through
The provide[nce] of God I have been Appointed the President of the
Twelve Apostles. I Pray that I may have Grace and wisdom
to assist me to magnify my calling in this capacity
In looking over my Journal I have recorded a synopsis of
my labors in the Church & Kingdom of God during the year
1880 on the following Page
