try as often as should be deemed necessary to
teach the disciples how to escape the indigna-
tion of their enemies and keep in favor with
those who were friendly disposed and Simeon
Carter, John Corrill, Parley P. Pratt and Orson Pratt
were appointed by the unanimous voice of the
Council and congregation to fill the mission.
Elder Nathan West preferred charges against Samuel Brown, High Priest, for teaching contrary
to counsel, namely; encouraging the brethren
in practicing gifts (speaking in tongues); in or-
daining Sylvester Hulet, High Priest, (without coun-
sel) in a clandestine manner; asserting that
he had obtained a witness of the Lord which
was a promise of performing the same, in
receiving the gift of tongues, which gift he had
never before received, but afterwards said that
he had been in possession of that gift for the
space of a year; and in seeming to under-
value the authority or righteousness of the High
Council by charging Elder West not to say
anything that would tend to prejudice
their minds that they might not judge
righteously. These charges were sustained by the
testimony of Leonard Rich, Charles English, Brother
Bruce, Edward Partridge, Hiram Page, Roxa Slade
