afternoon President Young Preached one of the most interesting
discourses ever Delivered to the people it was a sermon of sermons
contained much interesting doctrin, revelation & principle
He said the Lord would not permit him nor any other man to lead
this people astray if the leaders were to do wrong the Lord would
take them away. If an Apostle did not magnify his calling the Lord
would remove him & not permit him to lead the people astray. But I
shall not apostatize you need not any of you look for that for I
had the promise long ago that I should not do that. Neither shall
I go to hell. He also said the Lord was about to Empty the Earth
the men would be destroyed & He should live to see the day when
thousands of women would come to the men of this Church for
salvation one man would have to take thousands to save them
many things were said of interest. In the evening I called
upon Luke Johnson who was sick at Sister Hydes also Orson Pratt Jr
