140 years ago today - Mar 30, 1873

[Brigham Young Sermon] President Brigham Young Said I thought while looking at the school Children to day that I should see a much larger assembly of school Children in the spirit world when we meet with all the Children who have lived on this Earth & Died without sin, & I thought would their be as many grown Persons worthy to be with them in proportion to the number of teachers with them to day. But I think there will not.

Again President Young said Joseph the Prophet told me that the garden of Eden was in Jackson Co Missouri, & when Adam was driven out of the garden of Eden He went about 40 miles to the Place which we Named Adam Ondi Ahman, & there built an Altar of Stone & offered Sacrifice. That Altar remains to this day. I saw it as Adam left it as did many others, & through all the revolutions of the world that Altar had not been disturbed. Joseph also said that when the City of Enoch fled & was translated it was where the gulf of Mexico now is. It left that gulf a body of water. -- Salt Lake City [Wilford WoodruffÂ's Journal. 9 Vols.
