  3. &lt;br&gt;In early years from the time I was made President of the Tooele Stake, when I had a complete breakdown and was a nervous wreck for six full months, and for 20 days after the nervous convulsion that caused me to be insensible all day long and could not lift myself up without assistance while lying in bed, I went to St. George to recuperate. I have gone to California time and time again to keep from breaking down completely because of insomnia. Thirty-two years ago I went to Europe, and I got a new lease of life and learned to take a nap in the day-time after my lunch, and today I am thankful beyond expression that I am in better health, can do mor work, feel better, sleep better than I did when I left for my mission. I have only had two serious attacks of insomnia since I returned from Europe. When I wake up not at 4 o&amp;#39;clock as I did yesterday morning and this morning, I try for a few minutes to go to sleep; failing, I sit up and talk to my dictaphone for two or three hours, then, I
  4. &lt;br&gt;turnover and take a nap of an hour, sometimes of two hours.

  26. &lt;br&gt;.... I felt the spirit of God bear testimony that there would be a work in London.
  27. &lt;br&gt;
  28. &lt;br&gt; We retired to rest in good season &amp;amp; I felt well in my mind &amp;amp; slept untill 12 at night. I awoke &amp;amp; meditated upon the things of God untlll near 3 oclock &amp;amp; while forming a determination to warn the people in London &amp;amp; overcome the powers of Darkness by the assistance of God; A person appeared unto me which I considerd was the Prince of Darkness or the Devel. He made war with me &amp;amp; attempted to take my life. He caught me by the throat &amp;amp; choaked me nearly to death. He wounded me in my forehead. I also wounded him in a number of places in the head. As he was about to overcome me I prayed to the father in the name of Jesus for help. I then had power over him &amp;amp; he left me though much wounded.
  29. &lt;br&gt;
  30. &lt;br&gt; 3 personage dressed in white Came to me &amp;amp; prayed with me &amp;amp; I was immediately healed &amp;amp; delivered me from all my troubles.

I got Chas. H. Wilcken to investigate the matter for me and he learned that it was indeed a fact that a warrant was issued and in Doyle&amp;#39;s hands for my arrest. I therefore kept in my room all the afternoon.

This is the first of the church&amp;#39;s thirty-seven academies which until 1900 offer primarily elementary level education with some secondary coursework. However, academies also develop college-level &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; curriculum for teacher-training. By 1934 only four remain LDS institutions. Other major LDS academies are Brigham Young College at Logan, Utah, in 1877 (closed in 1926), Salt Lake Stake Academy in 1886 (now LDS Business College), Bannock Stake Academy in 1888 (now BYU-Idaho), St. George Stake Academy in 1888 (now Utah state-operated Dixie College), Sanpete Stake Academy in 1888 (now Utah state-operated Snow College), Weber Stake Academy in 1888 (now Utah state-operated Weber State University), St. Joseph Stake Academy in 1891 (now state-operated Eastern Arizona College), and Juarez Stake Academy in 1897 (later Academia Juarez).

  86. &lt;br&gt; At one oclock at noon there came a deep sleep upon me &amp;amp; I slept one hour. I was awoke with a hand touching me.

He turned around from me &amp;amp; a greater light overshadowed me &amp;amp; he disappeared.
