Day in the Life
Journal Entry
17. Sunday I met with my Quorum in the morning & attended
Meeting at the Tabernacle all day. E. T. Benson spoke in the forenoon & A
Lyman in the afternoon. I met with President Young & several
of the Twelve in the Prayer Circle after Prayers President Young
informed us He had a letter from Brethren on the Sandwich Islands
which was read informing us that Capt Gibson Had ordained
on the Island A Quorum of Twelve Apostles & Seventies & Bishops
& High Priests &c. He charged $100 for ordaining the 12 each &
$50 for 70, $5 for a Bishop $2.50 for a Bishops counceller &c
And He had claimed all the Island to himself & said that Brigham
Young had no dominion over those Islands. And all his
conduct is Accordingly He has taken possession of the Island &
takes from the Saints all that thaty raise & is playing the Tyrant
over all the Saints on those Island. After reading the Letter He
said that He wanted two of the Twelve to take several of the young
Brethren who had been over there before & go to the Islands & set
the churches in order & do what is necessary
