Saturday I sepent most of the day in the Endowment House we had a
large company to take through their Endowments President Heber
C. Kimball gave us a good lecture in the morning upon various subjects
He said that the people did not believe what He and President Young had
said concerning Famine & laying up wheat there is not one in twenty in
this city who has laid up a Bushel of Grain and they all depend upon the
tithing office. He says we ought not to preach what we do not practice I do not
do it I have got two years provision laid up also clothing Brother Woodruff
here lays up provision & clothing. there are but few that do it. Now how
many will preach to the people & tell them to be like God while they do not
attempt to imitate the Lord but if a wife do not please them they will
pitch their wife or child out of doors and soon loose all the Lord has give
him now If we done as the Lord does if our families did not do right & obey
us we would bear with them, & feed them, & cloth them, and treat them
kindly that they may be saved. Look & se how long the Lord bears with the
wicked He rains upon the Just & unjust [Matthew 5:45] & if we want to be like the Lord
we should bear with the weaknesses of our wives & children. he said He
had some wives who had never been subject to his council & will yet
yet He took good care of them & treated them kindly {he had one woman that had
committed Adultery yet he fed her and took care of her but did not sleep with her as a wife} He said many [things] which were
Edifying. The Eastern mail came in & brought dates up to Dec 15th
The cecession movement was on the increase the whole nation was convulsed
and was fast going to ruin & destruction
