many of the gifts were poured out
upon the people; at break of day we
were dismissed.

I also spent the night of the 7th in
the Temple, with several of the Elders,
in prayer and praise before the Lord;
the Holy Ghost rested upon us, and
the spirit of prophecy was given, and
many things were shown by the holy
Spirit.

April 9—President Smith spoke in
the afternoon, and said in the name
of the Lord, that the judgments of
God would rest upon those men who
had professed to be his friends, and
friends of humanity, and in building
up Kirtland, a stake of Zion, but had
turned traitors to him, and the inter-
ests of the kingdom of God, and had
given power into the hands of our
enemies against us; they had oppressed
the poor Saints, and had brought dis-
tress upon them, and had become
covenant-breakers, for which they will
feel the wrath of God.

April 13, 1837—I married Phebe
W. Carter, daughter of Ezra and
Sarah Carter, of Scarborough, Maine.
The ceremony was performed at the
house of President Joseph Smith, by
Fred. G. Williams, Esq. The Pro-
phet Joseph appointed to marry us,
but his life was sought by a mob, and
he had to flee.

—15—I received my patriarchal bles-
sing under the hands of the Patriarch,
Joseph Smith, sen.; my wife having
received her patriarchal blessing pre-
viously.
