assembled on the occasion voted unanimously

of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I have ever been impressed since my first
acquaintance with the Church and Kingdom
of God upon the earth, with the importance of
keeping a journal and record of the dealings of
God with this people, and our official acts in
the ministry, and under this view I have
written sketches of most of the sermons and
teachings which I have heard from the mouth
of Joseph Smith the Prophet, and many of the
teachings of the Twelve Apostles and others;
believing this course to be beneficial, I would
recommend the elders of Israel to do likewise,
that what is recorded on earth may be recorded
in heaven. Doctrine and Covenants 128:8
