Jeter Clinteon, & President Young. Bishop Woolley said He did not
want men to come & lay hands upon the sick in his house or ward
that was Entheusiastic or would talk with the sick. He did not want
them to bring two devils whare they cast one out He did not like to[o]
much laying on of hands He believed that a person might be surfeited
with spiritual food as well as Temperal. President Young Differed forrom
Brother Woolley. "He said "I do not know as I understand Brother Woolley
and I do not know as he understands himself this subject wants
Explaining, now for instance if a person is sick and laying on of hands
is the remidy if you lay on hands once & the person is not healed
try it again & continue untill the person is healed to Bring a com-
parison if a child turned a heavy table over onto it and the mother
tries to lift it off & cannot do it what should she do get help
Enough & work at it untill the child is liberated, again Brother
