and we decided to bring over all the Heard & deliver them to the
owners. I attended A councel with the Presidency & Twelve
& others on the case of Bishop Hoagland & his wife Agnes she brought
a complaint against him that He did not pay attention enough to
her & provide well enough for her after hearing the matter on
both sides President Young said now go & do right & let Bishop
Hoagland Baptise you the same as the rest of the ward. I do not wish
to say much about this case but I think many things that I do not
want to say their is many women that care more about their wives Husband sleeping with them than they do about God or his
kingdom & if a man was to submit to such women he would
not be worth shucks in building up the kingdom of God I have got
some such woman & I visit them one a year or once in 3 years as
I please & they may go to heaven or Hell just as they please I
shall not turn away from the work of God for any woman if the
people will follow the council of the 14th ward Bishop they will be
led into the kingdom of God & so will Agness but she wants pillow
council instead of ward council well now if Agnes never hears
any more pillow council or private council take the council which
he gives to the whole ward & you will be saved men must attend
to the duties of the kingdom of God first before any other object
and Now Agnes go home & do right & Brother Hoagland go & Baptize
her if she wishes to be & so here the matter droped
I spent a part of the day in the Presidents office Hearing his
Letters Read I spent the evening at home.
