Journal Entry

April 05, 1863 ~ Sunday

5 Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning and attended
Meeting all day in the Tabernacle. Elder Orson Pratt had
been sick & night [nigh] unto death with the Pleurisy in the left side
I went with the Twelve to visit him on the 2nd instant & laid
hands upon him. On the 3rd Friday several of the Twelve
laid hands upon him I visited him in the Evening & laid
hands upon him & told him in the name of the Lord that He
should live & not die & that He should be healed for He had
not done his work in the flesh. He began to amend & told
me he thought He should be able to attend conference.
I was quite surprised to see him come into the Tabernacle
this morning & take a seate with us. Brother O Hyde spoke
in the Morning & President Young spoke in the afternoon
& corrected some of Brother Hydes teaching. The Twelve met
at the Prayer Circle at 5 oclok. Erastus Snow prayed O Hyde
was Mouth. Ten of the Twelve were present all Except O. Pratt
& G. Q. Cannon.
