Day in the Life
Journal Entry
April 04, 1860 ~ Wednesday
4th I felt better to day I bought 14 Appletrees of Hemingway & set
them out in my Garden
I attended a council of the Presidency and Twelve at the Historians
office in the evening upon the subjet of the sermon of Orson Pratt
the sermon was read & the time was occupied till half past 11 oclok in
discussing the subject President Young was the ownly one of the Presid-
dency who were present there were preset of the Twelve O. Hyde, O. Pratt
W. Woodruff J Taylor G. A. Smith E T Benson C. C. Rich F D Richads & Erastus Snow
President Young made many remarks concerning Doctrinal points & the
situation of Orson Pratt who seemed vary dark in his mind upon
many points of Doctrin President Young wished the matter to be settelled
before the Quorum of the Twelve and not go before the conference after
spending several hours in investigating the subject it was decided for the
Twelve to meet in the morning in prayer & Fasting and settle the business
among ourselves. President Young said while speaking of Revelation that
someone asked if we were keeping the Celestial Law. it came to me
like a flash and I said it out Can a people keep a Celestial Law while
in a Telestial or Terrestrial kingdom I think No people will keep
the Fulness of a Celestial Law or have it revealed to them untill they
inherit a Celestial Glory
