[FIGURE] 11^th The Nauvoo Legion met on parrade
this day I rode in the Legion in company with the
quorum of the Twelve as assistant chaplain It
was the first time I hasd seen the Legein on parrade
& it caused peculiar feelings to rest upon me while
gasing [gazing] upon this Legion & contemplate the past present
& to come.

After the business of the day was closed, I attend the
trial of Elder Gladden F. Bishop at President Joseph Smith
House, & it was an interesting time. Gladden had
set himself up as some great thing for 8 or 9 years
& the Church had been so much troubled with him
by his foolish conduct that he had been cut off a num-
ber of times from the Church & restored, & he had
now set himself up as a prophet & Revelateor to the
Church & a number of his revelations were brought
forward & red before the congregations & it was
the greatest Bundle of Nonsens ever put together it
would have taken Gladden Bishop ten thousand Years
to have accomplished the work which he said in
his pretended revelations he should perform he took
the name of God in vain & his crime was so
great in his Blaspheming God in his pretended revelations
that Joseph the Seer said that nothing would
excuse him in the sight of God & angels in commiting
the unpardonable sin ownly because he was a
fool & had not sens sufficient for the Holy Ghost
to enlighten him. After his Revelations were read
condemned & commited to the flames he was cut off
from the Church & given over to the buffetings of
Satan untill the day of the Lord Jesus
