President Young Preached in the forenoon a powerful discourse he spoke vary

meeting in the afternoon & herd President Young deliver one of the most edify-
ing discourses I ever herd in my life His subject was "what are the
pleasures of life." He spoke of Eating & drinking as being two of the greatest
pleasurs of the worlding but that pleasure ownly lasts while he is swallowing
He nomanated the various pleasures and a person would soon be saciated in

Happy all the time. I went home with President Young & took supper
with him. I also had a social conversation with D. H. Wells. The Twelve
