addressed them upon keeping journals and histories of their travels and the dealings
of God with them in their ministry

Elders John Taylor and Orson Hyde also addressed them
Several days previous to this we blessed 35 other missionaries

Sunday the 30th I visited Father John Smith the Patriarch who
laid at the point of death. His sons George A Smith and John L. Smith
were watching over him with the greatest care and attention. His mind
and memory were as clear and strong and his intellectual powers as operative
as in any day of his life.

Journey South

May the 3^rd Presidents Young and Kimball with a company
left the city to visit all the Southern settlements. I left with them
Truman O. Angel and Dr Sprague as my companions. I drove to
Bishop Smoots at the Sugar Works and stoped until brother Angel
layed out a part of the works. Mrs Woodruff and child rode down
with me and here I parted from them and we drove to Union Ward
over which Silas Richards was Bishop

We held a meeting in the evening: President Young
addressed the people. I was not in at the commencement and had
no chance of reporting his discourse. The following is a key to his
address which I have written from memory

Synopsis of a Discourse of President Young.

"I do not wish to spend my time neither is it profitable for
any man to spend his time in telling the people what was done in
the days of Adam Enoch and Noah thousands of years ago but my
business is to tell the people what they should do to day in order to
be saved. This is my doctrine all the time. What can I do
or this people do to-day in any one thing in order to build up the
kingdom of God or to advance any step farther towards the salvation
