[1865] People were waiting anxiously for a good mill nearby. While there were mills in Paris and Meadowville, they were miles away, the wait was usually very long at those mills, and neighbors knew the Swan Creek Mill would soon be finished.

Explaining the doctrine of the church, he tried to clarify the nature of God, as believed by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: “The God they worship has a body like the body of a man, for man was made in his own image and likeness. He has parts, passions, and is a material God. He can speak, he can walk, he can eat, he is pleased and he is angry… He once went through a state of probation such as we are now passing through, kept his estate and received the everlasting gospel. [He] secured his exaltation on an eternal celestial inheritance such as this world will become at the end of the Millennium, even like a sea of glass mingled with fire.”
