Patriarch who laid his hands upon Col. Kane and blessed him
I wrote the blessing and presented the Col. with a copy of it
in my own handwriting
Next morning I took the parting hand of Col
Kane who left the Camp for the east also Bishop Whitney with
several of the brethren started for St Louis to buy goods for the
Camp of Israel
On th we held meeting. Orson
Pratt discoursed upon Sceentific principles. He was followed by
President H. C. Kimball and then the Marshall of the city ^said^
that the City Council had passed certain acts among which were
that "there shall be no firing ^shooting^ of firearms after sundown
and no timber cut within 20 miles of the place without the
direction of the Council and that dogs be taken care of and
no more shot without the direction of the Marshall
"I wish to say a few words upon principle
I desire the brethren and sisters to be taught in all things necessary
There is one thing I want you to realize and that is that God
angels and Saints—heaven and all of Gods creations are governed
by law. And I want the Camp of Israel to understand
that we must be. If Heaven was not controlled by law
what sort of a place would it be? I would not wish to be there
for where we rushed into heaven without law every man would
be in danger of loosing his rights and having them trampled
upon. But all celestial beings are governed by law and
order for the celestial law is a perfect order of things—a
perfect system of light law intelligence exaltation and glory
where every person's right's are sustained to the fullest extent
