January 22, 1854 ~ Sunday 22nd ^[FIGURE]^ I attended meeting at the Tabernacle & I preached in the morning to the saints from the following words "whatsoever ye sow that shall you reap" I told the people that if they sowed good principles in their own minds & in the minds of their children that they will bring forth good fruit which will tend to exhaltation & glory so can we judge of the nations of the Earth if they indulge in sin wickedness & abominations & their Children are brought up in the same they must expect to reap the whirlwind arrow & death, Judgment sorrow wo & destruction. We should warn our children of all danger & escape all sin ourselves we were here in these vallies through the mercies of God & we should make an improvement by our situation
