Bear lake valley to St George in Washington County &
President Brigham Young Preached during these Journies 43 Hours
& 12 minutes according to the time I kept as recorded in my
Journal. We also Esstablished the Joint Merchantile Coop-
eration as a general whole sale store also ward stores.
We have had sent unto us By the general Governm[en]t the
most wicked set of Judges & all government officers that
have ever Been sent in Utah Territory, they are doing
all they can to stir up the general Governm[en]t to make war
war upon us & to destroy us from off the Earth. We have
had some Aposticy from the Church. L. E. Harrison
Wm S. Godby Henry W Lawrence Eli B. Kelsey & some
others have Been cut off from the Church for Aposticy &
they have formed themselve into a New Church the
same as other Apostates Have at different times and
they have Become spiritualist & pretend to receive rev-
ilations. Wickedness is increasing throughout this
whole Nation & Exhertions are making to try to destroy
the kingdom of God. The Nations of the Earth are becoming
more & more fearful of the signs of the times & of the future
Events which await them. We have had peace in these
vallies since we came here as pioneers in 1847 with the
Exception of the Buchannan war which cost the nation
$40,000000 dollars & cost us 40 miles travel & Back again
we have also had some Indians wars which has cost
some lives & considerable property. The wicked of this
Nation are determined if possible to destroy, & scatter
the Saints during the year 1870 But the Saints are in the
Hands of God as they Ever have Been, & God will
defend them & fight their Battles if they will ownly be
faithful & trust in him. 1870 will be an Eventful
year in many respects. In fact Every year is Eventful
now in this fast age God has set his hand to Esstablish
Zion & his kingdom & he will accomplish in spite of
Earth & Hell, wicked men & devils He will overthrow
the wicked the, scorners, the Hipocritt, & unbeliever & save his Saints
