In the evening we walked to Brother Josephs and
spent several hours with him and Sister Emma and
had a very pleasant visit

Joseph had commenced this day
to proofread the Book of Mormon that it might
be sterotyped. He had read 60 pages. He
rehearsed over to us the Missouri transactions and

human ^family^ and their Creator. Joseph said that brother
Kimball had given the true explanation of the parable

After Sidney Roberts had further
occupied the meeting for a season Joseph the Seer
arose and read from the New Testament the parable
of the "Vine" and its "Branches" and explained it much
to our edification [John 15:1-8]

In revelation he remarked "that a man
might command his son to do a thing and before he had

right. But if the Lord gives a command and afterwards
