[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 14th Sunday I met in council with the Twelve. President Young Proposed that Brs Richards and A Lyman go and leave part of their families untill another year if they could not get along without.
We all attended meeting at the Stand. The congregation was addressed by W Woodruff & E. T. Benson who exhorted the Saints to faithfulness & obediance & to harken to Council.
President Young addressed the people. Made many interesting remarks. He Blessed the land of Winter Quarters And prayed that no gentile city might ever be permitted to settle on it. And he felt to curse some of our enemies who was seaking our overthrow. He felt to Bless the Saints who go or stay. He blessed the Potawatame lands. He said we never should be driven from the mountains except by insurrections among ourselves And He had no fears of that.
