President Young said that all the world would have been warned long ago in our day if all the world had bee[n] as faith- ful in warning his Neighbor as He & many of the Elders of this Church. When going to Zion in 1834 Joseph reproved the camp while standing upon a waggon wheel I said I had done the best I could & could not Better it if I was to try it again H. C. Kimball said the same. They said they had been in the Church nearly half of his life. (I WW have been in the Church more than half of my life) I remarked that it was an interesting time to live to to see the fulfillment of the President Young said it was an interesting time. H C Kimball said we should see it Just as well if Dead as if alive. President Young said, while we are in the flesh, we have to contend against evil spirits and Devils in a way which will be hid from us in the Spirit World. Brother Kimball said in speaking of our Prayer circle I never saw T. D. Brown in that circle but what I felt sorry to see him there. President Young said He would never have been there If you had not Recommended him for I had not confidence enough in him He leacked [lacked] & so did Wm. W. Phelps & others, what is spoken in a prayer circle should never be Named out of the circle not [to] a wife or any body Els if there is any thing to be said I will say it I could preach
