The motto, 'Woliness to the Lord," was written on the Bishop's flag. A beehive and sheaf of wheat appeared under the writing, and a battle axe and spear were at the top of the flag. The group marched around the Fort and Brother George Brimhall assigned the visitors to stay with different families in the settlement. Henry and Ellen were located with Dr. Morse and his family. That night the trumpet blew and they all assembled in the Council House at six o'clock. After a short meeting they danced until midnight. Henry wrote. Saturday, July 24, 1852: Celebration of the 5th anniversary of the 24th of July began at o'clock 5 a.m. The inhabitants of Parowan were aroused from their slumber by the roaring of artillery.
