After receiving his
endowment in the Red Brick Store, William Clayton recorded:
"This is one of the greatest favors ever conferred on me and
for which I feel grateful. May the God of Joseph preserve me
and mine house to walk in the paths of righteousness all the
days of my life and oh that I may never sin against him or
displease him. For thou oh God knowest my desire to do right
that I may have eternal life."
