21^st Sunday I met at the stand some of the Twelve & the
congregation O Pratt iaddressed the congregation upon the
subject of the resurrection which was interesting to us all
Some had been teaching the doctrin that the resurrection
was by birth or through the womb but Br Pratt showed
the folly of such a doctrin, & Proved by many revelations
that the dead were raised by the power of God & the Blow-
ing of the Trump of Michael the Ark Angel who was
Father Adam & that the graves of the Saints would
be opened & their Bodies would come forth out of their
graves according to the visions of Ezekiel & many of the
prophets. He showed that However miracalous it might
appear unto us it was just as easy for God to perform
this work as it was to turn water into wine or make
Bread without flour to feed a multitude
W Woodruff followed Br Pratt & bore testimony
to what had been said & spoke in the spirit of the Lord
