Sunday, March 12, 1876

Mar. 12th.  I joined with the Chittenden family, going to the Church of England chapel.  The Minister read  Genesis 32, which is favorable to our polygamy, especially verses 22 to 30.  Jacob took his two wives and two women servants and eleven sons and passed over the ford Jabbok.  He told of his wrestling with the Lord and the Lord blessing him there.  Then he took Luke 18:2 for a text and gave a talk that Latter-day Saints could find no fault with.
