we then sundg Come let us Anew our Journey persue

O. Hyde Prayed in the spirit of the Lord and asked for evry blessi-
ng upon the Church & Kingdom of God which the free spirit of
the Lord dictated unto him

Erastus Snow spoke concerning the feelings of many of
the people against seeing the Twelve prosper in Temperal things
He thought if the Lord did not sanction this, He permited it to
be & he thought perhaps it was not the will of God that we should
[be] engaged in Temperal business when I was ordained Brother
Brigham told me to lay down my hoe & all farming tools & labouring
in the ministry and I do not prosper in any temperal business
F. D Richards said he Brother Snow had spoken his feelings
exactly he did not feel like engaging in any temperal Business

C. C. Rich spoke upon the same subject & said that He did not
no as all the Twelve all experienced the same thing but I think
the people are exercised by a spirit othat they do not comprehend
or know what it ment but their is an opposition to Joseph &
the Presidency & Twelve against their prosperity. I think we
should use wisdom in the preservation of our bodies & lives we
have received a gospel and principles which will save us, but
we must apply it to our bodies as well as to our souls in the season
thereof in [order] to be saved.

Brother C. C. Rich called upon
the Lord in prayer and asked the Blessing of God upon us

Lorenzo Snow spoke, was thankful to meet with us & when
He herd of it thought he would undergo a great deal in order
to meet with us, if we did not have those great & marvellous
things that was manifest on the day of Pentecost yet it was
good to meet & pray and while our Enemies are seeking our
overthrow we should call upon God for our protection we are
differently situated from the Ancient Apostles they had
not the kingdom of God to build up as we have. Now the power
seems to be assimulated among the people & not confined to one
or two men or Twelve yet I consider Brigham Young is
performing a greater work in saving provideing and orga-
nizing his family, in the way he has than he would to divide
the waters, or heal the soals, cast out Devils, or do other miracles
and the wisdom of God is with him with regard to our atten-
ding to temperal matters I think we shall have to attend
to temporal matters & understand them in order to build up
the kingdom of God. I have no dout but that if Bishop
Hunter would take care of our Families & we do nothing els
No doubt we should be great & powerful men in spirit
& make the hearts of men tremble & be filled with the power
of God but would this benefit the people more than for us
to know how to teach the people in temperal things

O Hyde said I have thought of the subject as Erastus spoke of
but I have thought it was best for us to take a medium course
we must have cares and if we could do as Bishop Hunter
spoke of we might become dry & dull I believe we shall

22nd we then sung come let us Anew our Journey persue
