In the evening the Seventies and Elders ^met^ in the Tabernacle.
The House was full. The first seven Presidents were present with
Joseph Young presiding.

President ^Joseph^ Young occupied the forep^art^ of the meeting
by transacting the business of the quorums. Seventy Quorums
were called upon and found to be mostly full. He then called
for a subscription from the Seventies but he got but little

Jedediah M. Grant then arose and said
"There are some things that grieve me. President Young was

to sleep and then to hell then this body of counsellors are guilty
of sins either of omission or commission and I would advise
Joseph Young to cut off his counsecil and drop them and
appoint men in their stead who are full of the Holy Ghost and
who will act with him and assist him."

President Grant continued in a similar ^manner^ to wake
