wisdom to send men toas Teachers to the Gentile stores to preach
the Gospel to them. I considered they were wicked and
corrupt and it was like casting pearls before swine. When
I closed F. D. Richards backed me up and bore testimony
that what I said was true

Then the Bishop arose and opposed me
very strongly and said that he presided over the Fourteenth Ward
and he had sent the Teachers to preach to the Gentiles and he
wished them to go and do it.

I saw that the Devil had ensnared him.
When he sat down the Teacher arose and said What shall I
do. Brother Woodruff says do not go to the Gentiles and Bishop
Hogland says go. I arose and said obey your Bishop
for he says he will take the responsibility upon himself in
sending Teachers to the Gentile stores. Many of the
Priesthood were fired up upon the subject but the meeting
closed and we went home

Brother Richards and myself went up
to President Young's and we related what had taken place with
ourselves and Bishop Hogland; and President Young was
astonished at the position which the Bishop had taken. He
said the Devil was leading him into difficulty and he could
not extricate himself without help. He immediately
sent for Bishop Hogland who came up and the subject was
talked over and President Young showed his error and
he saw and confessed it. President Young told him
that the Twelve held the keys of the Kingdom of God in all
the world where the Presidency are not and that no Bishop
presided over any one of the Twelve in any place. The
Bishop made his confession and went home.

I have related this as an example
of a principle that none might err and not as reflection
