Day in the Life

Dec 22, 1855

Journal Entry

December 22, 1855 ~ Saturday

22 I spent the day in reading & writing I read the Books of
Ecclesiastes, songs of Solomon, & Isaiah through And I could
see by the Prophet Isaiah that one of the causes of the universal
destruction & abolishment of all the gentile Nations upon the face of
the whole Earth in the last days will be in consequence of the univer-
sal Ill treatment of the House of Israel viz the Jews among
all Nations & the Lamanites in America.

[FIGURE] The mail came in this evening & brought the Deseret News
And a Letter from My Daughter Phebe A. Woodruff the
first letter I ever received from one of my children while I
was away from home

we can be made vessels of honour what can we be made vessels of honour after we have moved in the hands of the potter & ground over again yes this will be the case with man but it is far better to be passive in the hands of God & be made a vessel of honor the first time than to wait thill till we have to be ground over again this is a figure which the prophet Jeremiahah made use of. Now President Young is the Master Potter here on Earth & we should be subject to him in all things we should all remember that we have got to render up our stewardship to God therefore we should be faithful in all things. And I pray that the spirit of God may rest upon you that you may do right & be saved with a full salvation. And I ask it in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
~ Heber C. Kimball
