Jan 1, 1880

Jan 1, 1880 How these figures look to me I was born March 1, 1807
if I was to live untill 18087 I should be 80 years of age but how
long I shall live & remain in the flesh God ownly knows. This year
opens with a prospect of Great hostility of our government against
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and the Kingdom of God
Esstablished in Utah and adjoining Territories in the rocky Moun-
tains, the Everlasting hills given to old Father Jacob and his
posterity. But God reigns and our trust is in him. He will guide
his Saints as he has in days gone by And when this year is past
we shall see what state bothe the Nation and the Saints will be in at
the End of the year. Our Nation is rapidly Hastening to destruction
and is ripening in iniquity and is doomed to destruction in
fulfillment of the word of God who has spoken concerning them
This new years day of 1880 finds me at Br Greers at the little
Colorado's meadows in Apache County Arizona Territory. I spent
the day mostly reading and meditating I walked several miles during
