we held a Meeting in the Bowery Presidt Young spok 20 Minutes
He said I do not think it prudent to stay long in this Bowery it
is so damp. Now I think I see Men Enough Here if I
could Boss them to build a Balloon Frame Meeting House
110 X 50 feet in 10 days I think you ought to go to & build
a Meeting House soon, so that you can have a place to
Meet in. It is our duty to go to & build up the Zion of
God on the Earth. we cannot do it by singing & Praying alone
but it must take the bone & sinnew of the people. what
will Zion do when it is built up it will be beautiful
& glorious, what we have done already is attracting the
Attention of the world. The meeting was dismissed.
