Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 2
On the last and most important day of the conference about 1000
souls were assembled in the Log Tabernacle
Heber C. Kimball addressed the meeting in
the morning in the power of God and then the names of the Seventies
were called over and President Young remarked that it would not be
necessary to put them to the meeting or to organized them into quorums
while here but to remain in a body under their Presidents until they
arrived at the Valley. He said that any quorum of the Seventies
or the Twelve though scattered to the fo^ur^ corners of the earth and not
filled up in Zion yet as quorums would be full but when there was
a vacancy by death or apostacy then the vacancy might be filled
From President Youngs teachings we learned
that it was necessary to keep up a full organization of the Church through
all time as far as could be: at least the First Presidency Quorum of
the Twelve Seventies and Patriarch over the whole Church.
It was then moved by [blank]
seconded by [blank] and carried unanimously by the
body of the Church in Conference at Winter Quarters that Brigham Young
be the President of the whole Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints
President Young then nominated Heber C.
Kimball to be his First Councillor which was seconded by
[blank] and carried unanimously.
