repaid if I had to travel A thousand ^miles^ in the days of my boy-
hood to have witnessed. Now my young friends I wish
you to remember these scenes which you are witnessing
during the visit of President Young & his brethren you my
young friends treasure up the teachings & sayings of these
Prophets And Apostles as precious treasures, while they are li
living Men and dont wait untill they are dead A few
days and President Young and his brethren these prophets
and Apostles and Brother Benson & Maugn will be in the spir[i]t
wor[l]d you should never forget this visitation. You are to
Become Men & women Fathers & Mothers. Yea the day will come
after your Father & these Prophets And Apostles are dead and
gone into the spirit world you will have the privilege of
going into the Towers of a glorious Temple built unto
the Name of the Most High God ^East of us upon the Logan Bench^ and while you stand in
the Tower of that Temple and your Eyes survey this glorious valley filled with cities & villages occupied wiby tens of
^thousands^ of the Latter day saints, you will then call to mind This
visitation of President Young & his company, you will say
that was in the day when Presidents Benson & Maugn
presided over us that was the day when President Young & the
Apostles were with us that was before New Yorg was
destroyed by an Earthquake it was before Boston was
swept into the sea by the sea heaving itself beyond its bounds
it was before Albany was destroyed By fire, yea at that
time you will remember the scenes of this day, treasure them up &
forget them Not. President Young followed and said
what Br Woodruff had said was revelation and would be fulfilled
