[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] I met with my Quorum in the prayer Circle. There were 10 present. I spoke a short time by way of exertation to the brethren. I told them as we were surrounded by the wicked Gentiles who were filled with wickedness and sought our destruction that we were much exposed & should be upon our guard & magnify our Calling and maintain our Dignity before all men as Saints of God & Elders in Israel & not mingle or drink with the wicked. If we have business with them let us do it & go our way. I feel ashamed before the Lord that any man that holds a station like Br George D Grant should stoop so low as to create a fight with Thomas Williams as he did and to mingle and drink with the wicked.
