world will be damned and the women wished to be saved by going with good men
A woman that has the Spirit of God will go with a good man who has been faithful
and spent much time in saving mankind and who has the Priesthood. Such men if
they continue faithful will be saved in eternal glory and those who are with them
I am determined that my affections shall be with
God. I will not alow them to be placed on things that perish. When plagues
and disease get hold of our bodies we become loathsome and beautey fades away
but our affections should be placed upon things that are noble exalted lasting
and glorious. I love an exalted mind for it is eternal and cannot
fade. I want all my affections to be subject to God and glory and
eternal life. May God bless you: Amen.
Removal Of the Camp of Israel
On this day we removed our encampment from the
prairie ridge to the table land on the bank of the Missouri River
This was a beautiful place for a city and we laid our city out in blocks
of 20 rods by 40 each lot 4 by 10. I had one block for my
company which consisted of nearly 40 families so I had to put two
families on a ^lot^ block. It was a very busy day and as we had no
yard we lost many of our cattle at night and I was hunting cattle
all the next day while most of my division drew poles and made a
fence to keep our cattle in.
Squire Wells arrived in Camp to day and also Brother Cutler. They were both direct from Nauvoo. I sat about one
