Sunday I met with my Prayer Circle at Noon, attended
Meeting in the Tabernacle in the afternoon A H Raleigh Prayed
& Elder Orson Pratt spoke 62 Minuts the Presidency and
Twelve met for Prayer. we then spent an hour in presid-
ent Youngs office conversing with him upon various subjects
among which was the Priesthood and the decision was as
follows the first Presidency Preside over the whole Church
in all the world. The Twelve Apostles hold the same keys and
authority to preside over the whole Church in all the world
in the Absens of the first Presidency. The seventies are special
Messengers to preach the Gospel & build up the kingdom of God
in all the world under the direction of the Twelve & to preside
in the Abscens of the first Presidency & Twelve. A Patraiarch
may also be ordained to be A Patriarch to the whole Church
A Presiding Bishop may also be ordained to preside over
the lesser Priesthood & Bishopprick in all the world But
all other Presidencies are Local and belong to the several
Stakes of Zion. A Presiding High Priest Presides over
the High Priest of that stake of Zion in which He resides
