I met at Early candle light with the seventies & Elders in
the Tabernacle the House was nearly Full the First seven presidents
were present with Joseph Young presiding. President Joseph
Young occupied the fore part of the meeting in transacting the busi-
ness of the Quorums. 70 Quorums were called upon & found to
be mostly full.
President J Young then called for a
subscription for the Seventies he got but Little
President J M Grant then arose & said I feel that there are
some
things that greeve me. President Young was asked if
it would not be well to send the Presidents of the seventies out
He said No they would Preach the people to sleep & then to Hell
Now this shows me that the Presidents of the seventies the sefirst seven
Presidents are asleep and their is sumthing wrong with them. if
this is the case that they would preach the people to sleep & then to
Hell Then this body of counsellors are guilty of great sins either of
omission or commission & I would advise Joseph Young to cut off
his council & drop them & appoint men in his stead who are full of
the Holy Ghost & will act with him & assist him. Now we will take
up his council & look at them. Now here is brother Levi Hancock
why he will fiddle diddle di fiddle diddle do fiddle diddle dum & tweedle
diddle ta. Now he might preach a month & ther would be no more spirit
of God in it than their would be in a Cabbage Leaf. Now If you would
preach the people to sleep & to Hell you are guilty of some great Henious sins either
of commission or omission you have either committed Adultery or some other
sins & you ought to be droped. Here is Brother Harriman now if you will preach
