Sister [Susan M.] Moore then rose and said the Object of our meeting to day Is to recive [receive] Councle [counsel] from Sister Snow and others. [. . .]

Sister Snow then rose and said Sisters, I rise befor you but I cannot say any thing that will do you good unless I am guided by the Spirit of God. I was hear at the Orginizing of this Society and I have allways falt [felt] an Intrest In It.

The Breathren have just as much Intrest In these Societys as the Sisters. I do not want to do any thing with out I have the sanction of the Breathren.

It gives me stringth to have the Breathren present It is only truth and relig[i]ous princabls [principles] that we teach [p. 176]

We have been Baptized from the world. what did we care when we were beared In the water A bout [about] the foll[i]es of the world. It will take us all our lives to gain an Exaltation In the kingdim of God. Spoke some to the young Incouringng [encouraging] them to live for the blessing s [blessings] of the Gosple.

Spoke of the Minuits which had been read said the sisters Expressed A desire to faithful. to be faithful my Sisters their as somthing got to be done. We shall not loose [lose] our reward for the work we do for the kingdom of God We want to reflect on these things.

I presume the Sisters have done some of these things.

I supose you have laid up some grain spok of the fammen that Is sure to Come because God [h]as said It would.

We are recomanding [recommending] the Sisters to plant Beans. We dont Expect the sisters to plant them themsalvs but as Soloman bult the Temple he was the means of geting It done.

not that It is hard work I have don as hard work as planting A fue [few] beans.

Supose the famen should should come hear long do you supose the grain that [h]as allreidy been stor[e]d up would last. It might last Weaber County one week be our to that for the houl [whole] Comunaty [community].

It is for each Sister to put her thinking facultys to work That is what we meet for to bring all our good thoughts to gather [together]. We have got to save oursalvs by dewing our dutey [p. 177]

The Lord [h]as hold as [us] what he Expects of us and It is for us to prepor [prepare] oursalvs.

how should I look when I am Called befer [before] my macker [maker] which at the most will not be long, when asked what I had done If I said nothing. Why I would be cast out.

Shall we think of these things, when we Come to A death head.

I think I like the Good things of this life Just as well as the rest of my Sisters.

but then I know that Is not my mishen [mission] God Called us to this life to bild up the Kingdom

Their is a nether [another] thing we should paternize [patronize] and that Is home Industary I hurd Joseph Smith say that the p[e]ople of the world would Come up to Zien [Zion] to purchis the finest fabricks.

I have no other Intrest at hear[t?] but to build up the kingdom of God

My hat is home made bought at the Ogden Relief Society Store.

We should paternize that store.

The werk of God is to be bilt and the werk of salition [salvation?] Is to be throned [thrown] down Can we do It w[h]ile we are paternizing after Bablonish fshons [fashions]

Their are A nought [enough] hear In this Society to be A great healp to your Bishop.

when thay see you take an Intrest In such things thay will. that Is If thay thave [have] the prinsabls of mormonsm [p. 178] In their hearts.
