Today we hold meeting again; one in the morning and one in the evening. In the morning meeting I discoursed on the "word of wisdom" and also of repenting of our sins during the week before partaking of the sacrament. I read from the 611 P. of the B. of M.

In the afternoon I called on Mr. Younger. In the evening, in our meeting we read.

I believe we all enjoyed the day very much. There are only four saints here beside myself, Bro. and Sister Hilt, Sister Kagel and Carolina Hilt.
