August 30, 1846 ~ Sunday [FIGURE] 30th Sunday I met at the place of meeting with the 12 & church. Elder Kimbal addressed the Meeting I followed him. Elder Young followed & gave many principles of interest. said we must have exp- erience if we had done right & known how to have Magnifyed the Priesthood we should not have been driven from Jackson County but must have experiec in order to be prepared to govern the kingdom of God
~ Brigham Young
President Young there addressed the meeting And said that it was an Eternal Principle that before God would chose A man to rule any part of his kingdom he must first learn to be ruled And that the Lord was preparing A people for that purpose & fifty years would not pass away before many who are now present will each rule over many more than what I do this day
~ Brigham Young
