We put up at the Sheldon where we met Bro. Orson P. Brown of Colonia Dublan who took us to supper. I wrote home to my wife and to my Brother Fred and visited with Bro Brown & Bro Smith.

4 March 1908 • Wednesday

Elder Smith and I left Elpaso at 8 A.M. for Mexico. On car from Elpaso to Ciudad Juares across the line we met Mr. Meade the Mgr. of the Ry to Colonia Dublan and obtained half fare rates from Ciudad Juarez to Dublan & return 4:90 Gold [p. 147]

I read the bible all day except that I read a magazine Article purported to be an interview with the President of the Mexican Government Purferio Diaz and a brief history of Mexico in which Diaz has figured.

We were met at the depot at Dublan by Pres Helaman Pratt and Bro. Bowman. Bro Smith went with the former and I with the latter to the home of his second family After Supper went over to the home of his first family where I took a bath and spent the night. A good nights rest & Sleep.

5 March 1908 • Thursday

Dublan. Mex.

Bro. Bowman took Bro. Smith, bro Pratt & me in his Auto. a ride of about 30 miles to see the canal being constructed and the reservoirs several in number of Natures Construction Called at Guadelupe New Meeting house nearing completion and now in use. A credit to the few people living there about 8 or ten families. [p. 148]

From the representations made I should say the project of putting the canal through is going to be a wonderfully profitable project and what we saw confirms the belief in the representation. I spent the afternoon reading the Bible and writing I wrote home and wrote to the First Presidency a report of our labors in the St. Joseph Stake.

Attended the Public meeting at Colonia Dublan. Bp. Johnson of Colonia Diaz spoke about 5 min. Elder John Henry Smith spok[e] 50 minutes Subject. Honor Parents Enlarged upon Mother &c.

<Synopsis of Talk at Dublan

3/5/08.>1

I followed 30 minutes. Beautiful Singing, Sweet spirit, words of Life, Gracious & Merciful Father, Loving parents, obedient children, beautiful homes. All gifts of God. How appreciative we should be, how obedient we should be. “Honor thy Father & thy Mother that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Honor God that you may have Everlasting life. The Gospel true? yea, verily. It imbraces all truth, all error & evil having been eliminated [p. 149] it becomes the very essence of truth. A most beautiful picture when understood; When we live by its precepts it makes our lives beautiful; The inconsistencies in our lives evidence the fact that we have not accepted the Gospel as the reality which it is but merely as a theory. We are only partially converted The willfulness and disobedience of some in the Church is as a thorn in the Sides of the people & bring reproach upon the whole church. The Gen’l Authorities are united but a cloud is even now hanging over the people which gives the Authorities great concern. Whether the Lord will scourge us as he did anscient Israel who disobeyed council remains to be seen. We heretofore suffered through neglect to trim the dead branches. How far are we justified in favoring friends. If the Glory of God were to rest down upon us I fear many because of the dross would be Consumed. The dead branches would kindle a hot fire for the Consuming. The vineyard [p. 150] must needs be trimmed. We are living in the Eleventh hour of this Dispensation. The work is to be cut short in righteousness, the Lord is to come as the thief in the night. Five are to be wise & have their lamps filled and burning Who of us will be among the foolish. Now is the time to prepare.

After meeting we went down to Bro [blank] and administer<ed> to his wife.

I brushed my clothes, cleaned me up, wrote up journal &c. [p. 159]

Elder Smith and I attended the theatre in the evening at the Orpheum. “Lost Paradise” by the Ulrich Company. The play represents the Labor Classes and honor vs. Capitol & Dishonesty and is an intense play, well played. There were a few original though<ts> came to me. 1st in her appeal at the last She might have said Believing you to have been without honor I would have myself been dishonorable but learning the truth I was just as ready to reject dishonor and accept the honorable.

The contrast of the daughter on the one hand with her $7000 pearl necklet and fine linnen with the daughter of the poor laborer in poverty and ill health was most striking as was also the want of oppertunity on the one hand to win the affections of him whom they both loved because of her station as a result of poverty. It is an educational play.

During the day I read the Bible [p. 161]

11 March 1908 • Wednesday

I occupied 35 minutes. Referred to infidelity & Atheism & compared same with our belief. All good is incorporated in the Gospel. The inconsistancies in our lives is due to the fact that we have not accepted the Gospel as a reality which it is but merely as a theory. That which makes our lives beautiful is the re[p. 162]sult of having imbibed freely of the Gospel spirit. Act conscienciously. Fore give others that your sins may be forgiven. Nothing sinful can come into the presence of the Lord. His Glory consumeth all dross. Those on the other Side build for us according as we give them with which to build. The Gospel provides a means of escape from the effects of Sin. Repentance & forgiveness of others.

At the S. School LeGrand spoke. I suggested the putting before the Speakers the small children, in front. Increase attendance at S. School & be prompt in beginning School & in being on time. I find people engaged in same work from Canada to Meixco. Singing same songs, learning same lessons &c.

Home.

I wrote in Donnette Smith Kesler’s a[l]bum as follows.

Every grace and virtue that has been incorporated into your life to make it the beautiful life it is is but a reflex of Gospel truth.

Those qualities which you are lacking to make your life as beautiful as you would have it to be, can be found in the gospel which embraces all truth and all that is beautiful. May your whole life be one of truth & beauty &c
