30 [FIGURE] I finished loading my waggons
And took them over the river to
Ioway I took over two waggons two
yoke of oxen & two cows And sent Br
Fergeson to take care of the same. At the
edge of the evening I repaired to the Temple
And dressed in our Priestly robes in company
with Elder Orson Hyde And about 20
others of the Nobility ^Elders^ of Israel we dedicated
the Temple of the Lord built by the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, unto His Most Holy name we had
an interesting time, Notwithstanding
the many fals Prophesies of Sidney Rigdon
And others that the roof should not go
on nor the House be finished And the
threats of the mob that we should not
dedicate it yet we have done both And
we had An interesting time At the close
of the dedication we raised our voices

In the evening of this day I repared to the Temple and with Elder Orson Hyde and about 20 others of the Elders of Isreal all dressed in our Priestly robes we dedicated the Temple of the Lord built unto His most Holy Name by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints Notwithstanding the prophesies of Sydney Rigdon and others that the roof should not go on and the House of the Lord be finished and the threats of the mob that we should not dedicate it we had finished the work of the Temple of God and now dedicated it to his most holy name ^him^. After the dedication we raised our voices in the united shout of Hosanna to God and the Lamb. After our dedication and the offering up of our prayers for the Camp of Israel and that we might not be disturbed by any mob during our further services of dedication we returned to our homes thankful for the privilege which we had enjoyed in our evenings service.
