Brigham Young they spoke much to our Edifycation
in the Afternoon John Taylor, Orson Hyde, & President H C Kimball
we had a good meeting all day. I attended the prayer
circle in the evening. The contempable speec[he]s of senator
Stephen Arnold Duglass was read & the answer of Albert
Carrington to the speech was also read. Also the intention
of Govornor Young in case we were invaded by an Enemy
Many remarks were made upon the subject of the present crices
which is apparently approaching us President Young said
that many of the brethren had many fears about the Laman-
ites because the gentiles were making them presents you need
have no fears upon this subject for if the nation gives them a few
millions it will not be all that is due their due & then they will turn
around & take the rest we need have no fears but what the Lamanites
will be prepared to fill their mission I cannot feel that the time
has come for us to do a great deal of hard fighting but I believe
the Lord will fight our Battles when the time comes for us to
do a great deal of fighting we shall have help & strength and
the promises of God will be verified unto us
