that day. We were all glad to meet with him; but he was too
weary to stay long with us.
Orson Pratt spoke
to the people upon his mission to the States; and on the following Sunday
he spoke upon the Law of Consecration; and on the Sunday after
President Young preached upon the Law of Consecration
In our Prayer Circle on the
subject came up in conversation concerning Orson Pratt publishing
the "Seer" and the doctrines in it
President Young said brother Orson ought not to
have published the marriage ceremony. It was sacred and one
of the last ceremonies attended to in the endowments and ought not to
have been given to the world
Brother Pratt said he thought it was no harm as
the plurality of wives and its doctrines were to be published to the world
and he should not have done it had he thought there had been the
least harm in it.
President Young said he was satisfied that brother
Pratt intended no wrong in it. He also said that the doctrine
taught in the Seer that God had arrived at that state where he could
not advance any farther in knowledge power and glory was a false
doctrine and that there never will be a time to all eternity when
all the Gods of eternity will ceacse to advance in power knowledge
experience and glory for if this was the case eternity would cease
to be and the glory of God would come to an end. Celestial beings
will continue to advance in knowledge and power worlds without end Joseph would always be ahead of us. We should never catch up
with him in all eternity nor he with his leaders.
Brother Pratt also thought that Adam was
made out of the dust of the earth and he could not believe that Adam
was our God and the Father of Jesus Christ
President Young said that he was and that he
that day. We were all glad to meet with him; but he was too
weary to stay long with us.
