Mormon History, Sunday, June 22nd, 1845

[Apostle John Taylor diary] In the morning being unwell I remained at home. In evening attended a meeting of the priesthood, where we have been in the habit every Sunday and Thursday afternoon of meeting together according to the holy order of God, to offer up our oblations, and pray according to the divine pattern, for such things as the Church and ourselves stand in need of; and we know that God hears our prayers, and bestows upon us those things, that we ask at his hands, and therefore we have confidence and come to God as our chief source of comfort, blessings, security, and protection in all times of trouble; and our souls are feasted on the things of God, for we are one, and God is with us.
