the Asylum I setled Tithing to day for the family for
1894 As follows. Wilford Woodruff $742.80

Total $1497.10 Tithing of the family

24 I went to the office And to the Temple with the
Twelve we discussed several subjects Among other
things it had been the custom in Cache valley by M
Thatcher & others to ordain a High Priest then set him
apart for a Bishop. I decided that was wrong. No man
had a right to officiate in any office of the Priesthood
without being ordained to that office. We also had
up the subject of Evan Stephens the leader of the Quire
we finally voted to give him $2000 dollars a year for
all his time
