June 1911

Eagar, Ariz.

Pres. Udall, Elder Jos. F. Smith Jr. and I left Eagar about 8:20 A.m. for Snowflake via. White mountains of the Mogalone range and after traveling through beautiful timber most all day we camped on Cluff Cenica about 35 miles from Eagar and about 23 miles from Snowflake Showlow where we found a brother Whipple from Showlow awaiting our arrival to take us on to Showlow. Here we camped for the night. Here about four or five years ago while [p. 228] some of our people were camped brother Hatche’s seven year old girl got lost and notwithstanding a diligent search was made by many people she was not found until three weeks later. She had waded the White River and was about seven miles from camp still in the timber.

Cluff Cenica in White Mountains of Ariz.

Here Pres. Udall took leave of us going direct to Hunt and we continued on our journey to Sho<w>low reaching there at 11 A.M. We took dinner with a brother Ellsworth and attended a public Special meeting in their New meeting house not quite finished. I was first speaker and occupied about 60 minutes. Spoke of my experiences of early life making a home &c. I read Lect. 6:1–8 and commented. Elder Smith followed me on parable Luke 14:7–11 Applied to Conference set as feast. &c.

I had [p. 229] a bath and general cleaning up and retired at 11 P.M. Recd letters from home, one from my Son George and one from Alice written from Tooele, both announcing the birth of a 10 lb boy by my daughter Alice Minerva Tate, her third child born May 28, 1911.

Snowflake, Ariz.

Am well. Weather fine.

I arose early, cleaned my clothes & cleaned up for saturday and wrote up my journal and wrote home to Alice and to my daughter Nerva.

Attended 10 A.M. Conference meeting and greeted the presiding brethren before meeting. A brother Paul Smith 92 yrs of age came on to the stand and taking my hand said I want to thank you for rebuking the cancer on my face. It has almost enterely left me. I answered, May the Lord be praised. While at St. Johns brother Jarvis said the little girl that I administered to 9 mo. before is healed (St Vitus Dance or Chorea[)].

At 10 AM meeting the attendance was 251. Stake population 1900. Pres. Sam’l F. Smith reported things in splendid condition. The report from Presiding bishop’s office shows [p. 230] this stake above the church in nearly every point of comparison. Principal of the Academy Jos. Peterson spoke after which I occupied about 35 minutes on Academy building burning, rebuilding and acknowledgment of Gods providences, followed by Elder Jos. F. Smith Jr. I read Job. 1; 2:1–11 & other scripture & commented on same.

At 2 P.M. meeting the attendance was 388 or above 20% of the stake population, the speakers were Pres Olof Larson, Jesse S. Bushman Ret. Missionary, Wm H. Gibbons of St. Johns, Jos. F. Smith Jr. and myself. I occupied about 40 minutes Advised the insurance of public buildings and homes against fire. The burning of the Showlow meeting house last June and the Academy building last November are object lessons. Advised the people to be careful to not let their children get lost in the timbers the death of Bro Hatche’s little girl is an object lesson. The Lord has put us under obligation to him in giving his Son that we might live again & have eternal life. If a man give me a gift and I accept it I place my self under obligation to him. If he ask a favor I am in duty bound to grant it if in reason. Gods asks something of us; it is reasonable too & for our own good. [p. 231] If the earth is the Lords and the fulness thereof then are we indebted to him, how show our gratitude? By trying to please him. We are also dependent creatures and if wise would court him who has the giving.

Elder Smith and I went to Supper at Bro. Riggs’ Sister Rigs is a daughter of Aunt Mary Jane Robinson Wess. A cousin to my wife. We while there blessed brother Rigg’s mother who is nearly prostrated over the recent accidental killing of her son at Mesa.

We attended Stake priesthood meeting in the evening. Business was attended to and Elder Smith & I each spoke. I advised cleaning up the towns, putting pig pens, corn yards & barns back of the Streets, also to make better privys and keep them sanitary. Advised proper guardianship work on part of Stake & ward officers and promotions in the priesthood. &c.

After priesthood meeting we attended a meeting of the home missionaries and I instructed them that the first qualification is willingness, therefore let each be faithful in filling his appointments & I also discovering all had filled missions advised that they preach the first principles. [p. 232]

4 Marsh Charles Hubbard of Willard to Switzerland & Germany. [p. 251]

5. John W. Jones of Ogden, to the Netherlands.

I was one of the speakers in instructing the missionaries. Subj. The way in which the missionary work is conducted and the results therefrom is a marvel and wonder to the world. About 2000 missionaries constantly year after year giving their time of two to four years and some a second mission, paying their own way & expenses and the fact that while they meet the learned ministers of the day they convert but are not converted.

He that is warned should warn his neighbor is the spirit of the work. Quoted. “True religion and undefiled re” ie. alleviate destress assist those in need. It is better to feed the Soul than the body. Eternal life is God’s choicest gift. You are instruments in his hands in bringing men to Salvation & eternal life. It is the Lord’s work to Succeed you must have his help to receive which you must have the Holy Ghost but he will not dweel [dwell] in unholy tabernacles. We make our tabernacle unholy by evil thoughts, words and actions. “He that looketh upon a woman to lust after her &c” [p. 252] “He that committeth adultery in his heart shall not have the Spirit &c” [“]The light of the body is the eye, if thy eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light” &c. [“]If thine eye offend thee pluck it out” “If thy right hand offend thee cut if off.” [“]Court the Spirit & he will attend you and assist you in your studies and in the discharge of all your duties.”
