for how can we Hate our Brother whom we have seen &
love God whom we have not seen. again if we have
ought against our Brother we should go to him &
be reconciled & not go to law & if we do wrong or
injure the feelings of another unjustly we should ask
forgiveness & make recincileation & when a person gets
a thorrough victory over themselves in thes matters they
gain a far greater victory than they would in taking
sebastipol. I listened with attention to the remarks
of Brother Clements upon the subject of Prayer I believe
the Lord Hears prayer we had a sample of this in Harm[o]ny
the grasshopers had destroyed the crops in the settlemts
north of us & they began to approach our fields & began
upon our grain we called a meeting & made the matter
a subject of prayer at night we went out next
morning & there was no live grasshoppers to be to
seen but the ground was coverd with dead ones I have
spoken of my mission among the Lamanites the question has
been asked will the Lamanites work I will say that the
Lamanites work hard whare I have been some of them
have worked for me & they would do more hard labour
in a day than I could while making our picket fort two
of the Indians would cut 100 cedar Pickets in a
day. I have known old Indians plant Acres of land
& dig up the ground with a paddle & when they saw us
plough the ground they rejoiced much to see how much
faster we could trurn over the ground with an Iron plough
than they could with a woodden paddle. Brother
Parley pratt said I was ingaged in the best ^work^ I could
be ingaged in I feetl that we are bringing that people
to a knowledge of the things of God when I have travled
among them they have treated me vary kind I called upon
a chief one day & I was hungry His squaw went to work
& dryed some wheat heads by the fire rubed out the wheat
in her hands put it onto a smooth stone & took another
smooth round stone & ground it fine & made me a
cake of it & baked it by the fire while she was doing
this her daughter made me some good wine out
of some buries she had preserved so I had bread &
wine for my dinner, all manufactured in a few
moments. they rejoicce at our visit with them &
many of them have been baptized & in some instances
try to imitate our practices. In one instance a company
of them came to visit us all highly painted up & dressed
in the best they had when they came to us we told them
the mormons did not paint they went to the creek &
washed it all off. we feel that much good is begining to
be done among that People
