He says that he broke more wild horses than any man in the county, I'll bet maybe more than anyone in the State and yet, I have yet to take the Lords name in vain or to damn either man or beast. Even when the cow kicked over the bucket of milk, I never damned her. This deep harmony he has felt all his life has seen him live to be a century old without ever having the desire to sue anyone or to be sued. His friends include the most humble and the most high in the strata of a sometimes ludicrous society. Everyone he has ever met is counted as a friend and he knows that only those in the world who have met more people could possibly have more friends. Bishop Layton recalls that he had a Patriarchial blessupon the ing (bestowed faithful from a Patiiarch of the LDS Church) when he was young from John Smith, the son of Ilyrum who was a brother to the Prophet Joseph Smith, the founder of the LDS Church. In blessing, he recalls, he was promised that he would live to a good old age and travel at home and abroad ministering the gospel. He was also promised that he would be mighty in healing and helping people. And all those blessings hate come true, Bishop Lay-to- n muses. He has traveled across the Atlantic Ocean and on the Pacific, from the east to the west and the north to the south of the United States, from the St. Lawrence to British Columbia in Canada and everywhere he has gone, sometimes traveling as a missionary, he has been a testimonial to his church. Many years ago, he was named a Patriarch and he has pronounced Patriarchal blessings on more than church members, he said. this 1,-0- 00 He has administered to more than a thousand people who were ill and in need of the Lords blessing, he recalls.
