11 A snow storm I attended the school of the Prophets
I received A Letter from Azmon Woodruff it was published
in the News. I wrote 23 letters to Owen Smith to Brother
Fuller & Willford & sent Wilford $5 in money

W Woodruff opened the school By Prayer Questions were asked
By seven of the school President Young spoke 30 Minutes the
following is a synopsis of Presid[en]t Y[ou]ngs remarks He said
A Bill of Divorce that is given to many is no Better than
a peace of Blank paper A woman who is sealed to a good
man who bears the Priesthood if that man honors that Priesthood
if that woman leaves him of her own accord & she is sealed
to a dozen other men the first man will hold her in the
resurrection if he wants her unless she should be sealed to a

Man of a Higher Priesthood then He would her But Even
A man Holding the office of a deacon may magnify that
calling so that he would be more worthy & have a higher
exaltation than many High Priest it is not so much the office
a Man Holds as it is of the magnifying of that portion of the
office He does hold. Some ordinances cannot Be given without
A temple All children Born Before parents are sealed to the
Altar will have to be sealed to their Parents in order to make them
Legal heirs those who are Born after the parents are sealed are legal
heirs. Man also will have to be sealed to Man untill the chain is united
from Father Adam down to the last Saint this will be the work of the
Millennium & Joseph Smith will be the Man to attend to it or to dictate
it He will not administer in person But He will receive his resurrected
Body & will dictate to those who dwell in the flesh & tell what
is to be done for He is the Last Prophet who is called to lay the
foundation of the great Last dispensation of the fullness of times
some have thought it strange what I have said concerning Adam
But the period will come when this people of faithful will be willing
to adopt Joseph Smith as their prophet seer revelator & God But not
the father of their spirits for that was our Father Adam Many
questions are asked about divorces I will say that many men
& women want to be sealed that should not be for they will not stay
together But if I was to stop it there would be a fulss now what is
to be done they will be sealed & then they will separate some
give them Bills of divorce I charge Nothing for sealing But
I charge $10 for Bills of divorce if they will Break the comma-
ndm[en]ts & make me Break them they shall Pay $10 for [it] Presid[en]t
Joseph Y[ou]ng asked President Young if He was Justified in giving
these Bills of Divorce President Y[ou]ng says yes I am I do not force
them to separate I give them good council & tell them what to do
No man has a right to put away a wife except for adultry But
when a woman will leave a man against his will He does not
not put her away; but she puts herself away & he that Marries
her commits adultery as Jesus says. I am Justified in giving
these Bills of Divorce for they will separate against my council
& the woman othertakes the responsibility upon herself & not me

President Young said in relation to Joseph Smith return-
ing the Plates of the Book of Mormon that He did not returne
them to the Box from where He had received But He went im
a cave in the Hill Comoro with Oliver Cowdry & deposited
those plates upon a table or shelf & in that room were
deposited a large amount of gold plates containing sacred
records & when they first visited that room the sword
of Laban was Hanging upon the wall & when they last visited
it, the sword was drawn from the scabbard & lew upon
da table & a Messenger who was the keeper of the room
informed them that that sword would never be returned
to its scabbard untill the Kingdom of God was Esstablished
upon the Earth & untill it reigned triumphant over Evry Enemy
Joseph Smith said that cave contained tons of choice
Treaassures & records
