9 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning attended
meeting in the Tabernacle President Young Preached four
discourses in the forenoon, the 1st was upon John Baptiste robing
the dead He said as concerning robing the dead of there clothing
it did not injure the dead in the morning of the resurrection but
it is a diabolical act in the man all of the dead will be cloathed
in the morning of the resurrection No matter how they are
Burried. But as to the punishment of the man to shoot or hang
the man would not satisfy my feelings at all, it came to my
mind when I first herd of it, if I should unDertake to punish
him at all I would want to crop him & then print with
India ink upon his forehead (Croped for robing the dead)
2nd discourse was making dancing Halls of our schools & meeting
Houses I am opposed to it Dancing and Theaters is no part
of my religion this is by permission but I do not want them
amalgamated. 3rd Attendtion paid to Females some Females
complain that there is not attention enough paid to them in
this community But I will say that there is no community on
Earth where as much respect & attention is paid to Females as
in this Church. Every old woman thinks she must go to Every
party, and Many a first wife thinks she should be a Queen
and the rest of the wives surfs. But this I do not Believe in
4th We cannot get the Telegraphic News printed under a
day or two after it comes I Believe Elias Smith is writing his own History
