[Apostle Wilford Woodruff]

8 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning. I attended meeting at the Bowery. A Campbellitc Preacher spoke to the people in the morning. Was followed by G. A. Smith who traced the History of the Christian Church from the days of Christ and the Apostles through Paganism, Catholicism, Protestantism down to our day through all the days of darkness Corruption & tradition & clearly showed that the purity of the gospel of Christ with all of its gifts & gracies was done away. Presidet Young spoke in the Afternoon an Excellet discours. We met in the Evening for Prayer.
