Letter to the Presidency and High Council of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion, 9 December 1893

P. O. Box, B. Salt Lake City, Utah. . To the Presidency and High Council of The Salt Lake Stake of Zion. Dear Brethren: We have considered the appeal of Brother Chas. M. Plant from the decision of the High Council of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion wherein he makes the point that neither the Bishop's Court nor the High Council has jurisdiction in his case, for the reason, as he alleges, that the sins of the people were forgiven at the dedication services of the Temple in this City, as then announced by President Wilford Woodruff. Our decision is that both the High Council and the Bishop's Court have jurisdiction in a case where a charge is made of the character that has been preferred against Brother Plant. It is true that President Woodruff did promise the people that their sins should be forgiven; but this forgiveness was not designed to extend to transgressions of so grave a character as it is charged that Brother Plant has been guilty of, unless the sins have been confessed and the law of the Lord on that subject complied with. There is a law of the Church which requires that sins of this character must be confessed, not necessarily to the whole church, but the confession should be as widely made as the offence was known, and forgiveness should be sought for from the individuals or from that portion of the Church that is cognizant of the transgression.

Letter from William Nelson, circa 9 December 1893

Salt Lake City, Utah, Messrs. Willfred Woodruff, Geo. Q. Cannon & Jos. F. Smith, First Presidency of the C. of J. C. of L. D. S. Gentlemen: There is a probability of getting the National Educational Association of the United States to meet in Salt Lake City next summer if an aduitorium can be secured large enough to accommodate the sessions. The Tabernacle is the only building which would answer this pur- pose. The association is composed of educational people from all over the United States, and the probability is that from 10,000 to 15,000 will attend. The Tabernacle will be wanted for probably four of five meetings, and all of them on week days or evenings. The pur- pose of this letter is to ask for such use. Respectfully, William Nelson, Chairman Chas Baldwin C. S. Zane W J Beatie Special Committee on ar- rangements for Securing the Meeting. I respectfully join in the foregoing request Caleb W.
