Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
On the ^Sunday^ afternoon of the which
was Sunday we met in the Canaanite Church
about 300 Saints. Elder Grant opened the meeting
and ^which^ President Brigham Young addressed the
meeting at considerable length. Among other
things he said
"A man or a woman may
ask of God and get a witness and testimony from
[word erased] concerning any work or messenger sent
unto them; but if a person asks for a thing
that does not concern him such as governing
the Church &c he will not get an answer and
if he does it will not be from God"
He also remarked in conversation
upon the enquiry of, Who had the ^fulness of the^ Melchisidec
Priesthood that if any in the Church had it
he did not know it. For a person to have
^the fulness of^ that Priesthood he must be a King and a
Priest. A person ^He^ might have a portion
of ^it^ that Priesthood the same as the governors or
Judges of England have power from the King to
transact business but he is ^they are^ not the King
of England. A person may be anointed
King and Priest before he receives his
Kingdom &c.
In the evening Orson Pratt
preached, followed by remarks from George
A Smith. One the morning of this
Sabath I went with Elder Young and others
to a Millerite Meeting. Here we heard
a Mr Litz preach a sermon destroying the
literal return of the Jews and rebuilding of Jerusalem
