Him unto the office of the first Patriarch in the church &
kingdom of God. This blessing was sealed upon him
as it belonged to him by right throug the linage of his
Fathers it was recorded in the Historians office taken
from the report of Thomas Bullock.

At the close of this meeting I returned home & took
most of my family & went to the 14 ward school house
the house was filled to overflowing I went into the stand
with the Bishop I felt as though I was full of fire I
was full of that Electrickt fluid or spirit of God that had
flown through President Young during the day there
was no reporter to record my words, but the following
is a synopsis of my remarks as far as I can recoll[ec]t

I arose & said I wam thankful for the privilege of meeting
with you & to speak of the things of the kingdom of God &
to hear from my brethren. I have been full of thought
& reflection this day while sitting & hearing from president
young, & I feel to thank God with all my heart that He has
bestowed upon us such a leader in this dispensatoion yes president
Young is a leader in Israel & one that is not ashamed to
rebuke sin in high places He will guard well the interest
& salvation of this people reguardless of all consequences
& I feel it my duty as an Apostles of Jesus Christ & an Elder
in Israel to sustain him in his office & back up ^his testimony^ by my faith
& works & I also consider it the duty of evry Apostlese
Bishop, Elder, & officer & member in the Church of Jesus
Christ to do the same if we are not willing to do it we are
not worthy of the place we occupy & when we know that
sin wickedness & improper conduct exhist in any of our
wards we should rebuke that evil & correct it in our own
houses & wards & not leave it all for President Young to do. we
have Evils in our own ward we have wicked men who will
blaspheme the name of God & who are striving to destroy our
wives & daughters. I have seen some of those same men
come here to meeting & set & laugh me in the face all the
while I was speaking & they will set & laugh the
Bishop in the face while he is speaking this class of
young men some of them are members of the church yet
they will join with the wicked & come here to meeting &
take a seat in the back part of the house & get together in
a group & agather all the young women & girls around them
they can & then conduct in a rediculous manner instead of
paying attention to the preaching. that class of men should
stay at home for while they conduct as they do I would
rather have their room than their company. they are also
useing evry exhertion to draw away our young women & girls to
parties & would drestroy them if they could. shall we sleep
unconcerned as Elders & parents while these scenes are enacted
around us no I will not do it & I feel to exhort this con-
gregation to wake up & know what is going on around them
& their families & not suffers your wives & daughters to
mingle with Military officers soldiers, Horseslers & cooks & gentils
in balls parties rides & other amusements untill they are defiled
