On the 4th the Presidency the Twelve the Seventies the High
Priests and the Bishops with their councils all met at the Social
Hall and President Young weighed the whole of them in the
scales of the celestial law of God and there were but very few
that weighed clear in every point. President Young taught
the people good doctrine and in a fatherly spirit.

The Presidency and Twelve and others met in council
at the Historian's Office on the 8th and the subject came up of
reading the sermon of President Young concerning the late emigration
and what cause^d^ so much suffering. It was concluded to

John Taylor for hindering the brethren from doing business for
several weeks.

President Young said Bishoph Hunter when the
Handcart companies come in I want to have the Bishops take the
people to some empty houses and appoint an overseer over them
so that they may not eat themselves to death for they would killl
themselves with eating if they had an opportunity.

On the 10th Elder A. O. Smoot brought in
the Church train goods &c and brother Willie the Handcart
company. There had been 60 deaths in that company
They were nearly chilled to death by the snows and cold
