Journal Entry

June 22, 1856 ~ Sunday

22nd Sunday I spent the fore part of the day at home. Joseph Young
preached in the forenoon followed by H. C. Kimball. President B
[FIGURE] Young Preached in the afternoon one of the most interesting sermons
containing the most interesting information light, truth &
knowledge ever revealed by God through any Apostle or prophet on
earth G. D. Watt & J. V. Long both reported the Discourse. He said the
Devels were cast out of heaven to this earth & they are still around
us their condemnation is that they can never have a taberna-
cle but they seek to get into the tabernacle of all men they can
all good & bad when they die remain here upon Earth the same
as the living they are mixed up the same as the living are in a great
measure. Joseph & Hiram & all the faithful Elders in a great measure
are at work to preache the gospel to the spirits in prision & prepare
them for the coming of Christ the wicked spirits will gather
together against Joseph there the same as here but neither the Devil
nor the wicked have any power over him there but he can dispens
them at his will but those who have shed innocent blood or
consented thereto will be angels to the Devil untill they are dis-
organized with the Devil, our children & friends are all with
us or near us many interesting thing were said we are now in
eternity as much as we ever will be

I attended the prayer meeting in the evening herd 5 letters read
from Lyman Wight to Father Porter the subject of the day was
spoken of by President Young. J. M. Grant preached at East Webber
Fort all day taught them to keep clean & set out trees &c
