In his own words

The tables below say what Lorenzo D. Young preached about. This is what it sounded like.

Can we trust in the man whom God has ordained and appointed to lead his people? Yes, we can trust in him as God's agent and representative, through whom we may know his will concerning us; and by faithfully following his instructions, he will lead us in the way of everlasting life. If we do this, though we may suffer the loss of all that we possess on the earth, and even lay down our mortal bodies for the Gospel's sake, God will reward us in this world an hundredfold, and in that which is to come he will crown us with eternal lives.

What the sermons cover

Indexed subjects, in order of how often they appear: Priesthood, Zion, Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, Kirtland, Great Salt Lake City, First Presidency, Sugar Cane, Kingdom of God, Flax, Home Manufacture, Opposition to Latter-Day Saints.

Where they sit

Volume 6 (1859) holds 66 sermons by 20 speakers, of which 3 are his. Brigham Young carries that volume with 15.

The Journal is overwhelmingly the work of a dozen men. The speakers who appear once or twice are the reason the series is worth indexing in full: they are printed at the same length and with the same care as the presidencies, and almost nowhere else.

Every sermon, in order
