Feb. 19th I repaired to the house of the Lord & stood in
the midst of the congregation of the Saints whare I
beheld President JOSEPH SMITH Jr arise in the stand
& for several hours addressed the Saints in the power
of God. Joseph had been absent from Kirtland on bus-
iness for the Church, though not half as long as Moses
was in the mount, & many were stir'd up in their
hearts & some were against him as the Israelites were
against Moses but when he arose in the power of
God in their midst, as Moses did anciently, they were
put to silence for the complainsers saw that he
stood in the power of a Prophet, O how weak is man. [Exodus 24:16-18] [Exodus 32]
