F. D. Richards President Young gave us good council & wished us to
become saviors upon mount Zion & told us in what way that we might
[FIGURES] have a crown of Glory in the Eternal world I attended a meeting
in the 8^th word I went in company with S. M. Blair the House was full
notwithstanding the snow was deep I heard the Bishop & council speak I
followed in few remarks & gave good council but did not feel much like
speaking.

He said that He did not Believe in this custom of Adoption [FIGURE] that had been practiced in this Church no man should give his Birthright to another but should keep his birthright in the linage of his Fathers & go to & unite the link through the whole linage of their fathers untill they come up to a man in the Linage who held the priesthood like a Branch of a tree the branch of a vine still abides in the vine though it comes out of it unless the vine is cut of[f] or the branch it will abide in it. now unless a man is a poor Cuss he should keep his priest- hood & unite it with his Fathers & not give it to another. & the Lord will save our Father. Evry man that gets his Patriarchal Blessings & Priesthood He becomes the Patriarch of his own family & should bless his own family.

~ Heber C Kimball

the spirit of God rested upon us in power & the vision of our minds was open upon the priesthood & its power & Blessings. I told the people that they did not prize the priesthood as they should & spoke of the great work which we had to perform who bore the priesthood in preparing this generation for salvation or damnation in redeeming our dead &c.

~ Wilford Woodruff
