November 1908

Kamas.

This day being the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late <Prs> John Taylor, The services partook of the nature of a memorial service. Pres. Callis made an excellent talk of about 37 minutes, followed by a solo by Wm H Manning “A poor WayFaring Man of Grief” &c. I followed for about 25 minutes, eulogizing Pres. Taylor and the other Presidents and tistified of Pres. Jos F. Smiths integrity. Bro Chas. S. Martin sang “The Seer, the Seer.”

Elder Geo Albert Smith occupied 15 minutes and Pres. Moses Taylor spoke about 10 minutes. A most intensely interesting meeting.

At noon I went to the home of Bp. Silas Pack where I was staying and wrote up my journal for the day to this time.

At afternoon meeting the Authorities were sustained, the speakers were in order as follows: Bro. Geo. Young, Bro Chas S. Martin, Geo Albert Smith and myself. Elder Smith occupied 50 minutes closing at 3:40 P.M. I occupied 25 minut[e]s with good liberty and treated Faith. Some things, some truths necessary for our acceptance with out which we can not obtain Eternal Life. viz. Faith in God, in Jesus as the Savior [p. 173] &c and in the Holy Ghost. There are cert[a]in ordinances which must be accepted or there can be no salvation viz. Baptism & laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. How may people who are not church members obtain faith it being a gift of God Answered. How may Saints have their faith strengthened? By same means. Had we sufficient faith all things would be possible. Quoted Heb 11: [blank] If we have the faith the thing will be accomplished. When we do not accomplish or do what we should and what we are commanded, it is because we are wanting in faith. Why we should have faith in the Holy Ghost. Its mission. Bore my testimony. Elder Smith spoke my talk as a lovely talk so fitting for a conclusion. May the Lord be praised.

I took Supper at Bp Silas Packs having fasted all day. Wrote up my journal for the afternoon. Assisted in administering to a Sister [blank] for her sight the same being dimmed and impaired. I anointed and Elder Smith Confirmed the Anointing. I consecrated two bottles of oil Bp Silas Pack assisting. [p. 174]

At Oakley there were in attendance 122 from a population of 240. Elder Allen was the first speaker and spoke very deliberately for 45 minutes Subject. Home Life. I followed for 55 minutes. Subject Sacrifices required of LD Saints and the reward of the faithful.

I visited my mother at her home.

Attended a missionary meeting in the temple Annex and was mouth in setting apart the following.

Chas. Robert Jenkins of Nephi to Southern States.

Heber Thomas Robertson of Spanish Fork to California.

I instructed the missionaries.

Alice and I attended the theatre “The Man of the hour.” The election returns were announced from the stage beween the acts which show<ed> clearly the Republicans had won out in the Nation, State and County of Salt Lake which means total defeat of the American (Ke[a]rns) party in Salt Lake County.

Home. I attended our regular weekly meeting of the First Presidency and the Twelve in the Temple at 10 A.M.

Alice and I went down to Granite Stake house in the afternoon and remained until about 8:30 P.M. where we commemorated the memory and birth of our Late President John [p. 177] Taylor, Sunday Nov. 1st being the 100th Anniversary of his birth.

At the Council meeting to-day the question was asked by Pres. W. H. Richards of Malad Stake by letter if a quorum of the Priesthood could properly be organized with fewer than a majority of the number necessary to fill that quorum. Ex Can an Elder’s quorum be organized with less than 49 members. Answered by the President indorsed by the Council: No.

At Home.

My health good except what seems to be chronic ailment a result of cold taking about two months ago. My left lung seems to be effected at least I experience pain in that region and have since Oct. 20th I also have a wheezing in my Bronchal tubes which causes me to cough hard at times principally at night, towards morning. I was troubled while in Old Mexico last winter, with what I think was Asthma. I would awaken [p. 178] in the night short of breath, gasping. I once had a horse fall with me while riding on the range North west of Tooele. The horse fell on me and I had a long spy glass swung under my left arm and I laid across same. I thought my ribs might be fractured so called on Dr. F. M. Davis & had my ribs examined but he could not discover any injury. I was sore in that region for a long time and I now feel the soreness in that region the pain increasing with pressure on the ribs. I wonder if that accident has to do with my present soreness and if my lung has been long congested or otherwise ailing and if it is likely to be serious. I once when a young man about 1880 or 1881 while going to School in Salt Lake to the University of Deseret ran nearly a mile to catch a belated train and ruined my wind. Any exercise requiring rapid breathing since then has the effect of making me nauseated and sick, some times vomiting. Aside from these chronic Ailments I am well and strong; my digestive and urinary organs seem to work perfectly. My wt. between 185 & 190 lbs. [p. 179]

This day I have paid off current bills and spent the day at home studying and writing. In the evening I went down and visited an hour with my Mother at her home on First Ave. between N. & O. Alice took Nina Moselle and Oliver to the Matinee. Weather beautiful.

Home.

I remained home and read, wrote and studied. Bathed and otherwise made preparation to leave in the morning for Manti to attend the South Sanpete Stake Conference.

Home.

I left Salt Lake City on R.G.W. Ry. train 7:30 A.M. for Manti, Utah.

Arrived at Manti at 1 P.M. train late. I was met at depot by Pres. Lewis Anderson and taken to his home where I found Pres Anthon H. Lund he having come down Thursday to be present at Founder’s Day exercises of the Snow Academy at Ephraim Friday.

Morning Session "³ 225 [p. 180]

<Between afternoon and evening meetings Pres. Lund, Pres. Anderson and I visited and went through the temple which afforded me great delight.>⁴

The speakers at afternoon meeting were as follows: Pres. Lewis Anderson. Patriarch Beal, myself and Pres. A. H. Lund <15 min> I occupied 35 minutes with good liberty. Referred to the temple and its influence or what influence it should have on the minds of the people. Referred to the report of good things said of the people by Pres. Anderson The good are always happy. This people being a good people must be happy and hopeful. The reputation of the whole Church depends upon the reputation of the individual members. The whole may have to suffer for the dereliction of some. Our actions may deprive others of blessing as well as ourSelves. Activities establish and develop faith (Ex. Our missionaries) faith produces repentance; repentance brings forgiveness of sin which is necessary to salvation. We have need of repentance &c.

At 7 P.M. Priesthood meeting there were 135 present. Roll call. Pres. Lewis Anderson presented some business and I followed for 35 minutes and Pres. Lund occupied about the Same length of time.

Relationship of Stake Presidency to High Council and the [p. 181] prerogatives of each: The responsibility of the Bishops with reference to recommending young men for promotion in the Priesthood.

I attended Ensign Stake Priesthood in the evening. Andrew Jensen occupied most of the time and I spoke about 15 minutes in conclusion. Immediately after roll call about half dozen boys evidently deacons with a dash left the room. I received the impression from this action that they had been prevailed upon to be there for roll call and taking this in connection with what I had observed and heard of methods which I characterized as despicable and dissimulation adopted in the S. Schools as a means of making a showing in percentage. It was on a par with boarding a street car unobserved by conductor and riding without paying fare. We should studiously avoid every thing that tends to depreciate in the minds of the young the value of the principle of honesty & honor. He who [p. 187] is dishonest is dishonorable. To think of one selling his honor for five cents or to make a showing in percentage by any but honorable means. I also spoke of the duties of Bps. & Ward teachers to the people and called attention to the neglect as I believed it to exist. We are busy men but we are expected to give our time in part for the caus[e], this being a Gospel of sacrifice and having accepted the office there is a responsibility upon us to discharge our selves and wash our hands clean of all responsibility or be found under condemnation.

After my talk Pres. Richard W. Young made comments upon the what he called reproof I had administered, justifying or rather denying the charges as best he could by explanations of misunderstanding &c but in conversation with the Presidency after meeting, they in part at least justified my remarks. On the Car Coming home Levi Edgar Young spoke to me and said how glad he was to hear me speak as I did knowing [p. 188] as he said how much needed it was. My Sons Geo. & LeGrand who were present thought I did just right in saying what I did. The house, 20th Ward house, was well filled.

Home.

My son George cut my hair, I trimmed my beard, cleaned up and changed my linnen, did some writing and reading and walked down town with my son George and I attended a missionary’s meeting in the temple annex where twenty-five brethren were set apart.

At the evening meeting Elder Smith occupied 45 minutes. Subject Wireless telegraphy &c. I took the remaining 30 minutes. Subject. Science. What Man hath accomplished. What God can do. Referred to Eternal Duration of matter as taught by Jos. Smith, later adopted by Science which is also Scriptural See Heb. 11:3 Referred to Telephone as a wonder. Phonograph, or Graphiphone and lightening process of photographina, producing & preserving both the action and the words spoken so as to recognize the voice. By some such means God may know our actions, our words and who knows but our thoughts, by all of which we are to be judged [p. 193] Who knows but that the fact of our voices being different is for a wise purpose for the identifying of the indivdual’s record.

If God created the worlds by his word of faith calling to-gether the elements why deny his power to call together the elements of our bodies aster [after] their decomposition. By this process Jesus fed the loaves multitudes upon a few loaves and fish<es> and turned the water into wine.
