16 Sunday I took cars rode to Ogden to attend the
Y.M.M.I.A. we Met at 10 oclok Prayer By Br
Balantyne. 18 Branches represeted showing 12869
chapters read in the various sacred Books Brother
West & Commings spoke Statistics read. Authorities
sustained. W Woodruff spoke one hour showed By
Revelation that Joseph Smith had received all the Keys
of the Aaronic & Melchezedec Priesthood for the last
dispensation from John the Baptist & Peter James
and John Moses, Elias, & Elijah, And had sealed all
these Keys upon the Heads of the Twelve Apostles [Doctrine and Covenants 13] [Doctrine and Covenants 128:20] [Doctrine and Covenants 110:11-16] And that
the Prophet had laid all these Responsibilities upon the
shoolders of the Twelve Apostles to bear off this Kingdom
in all the world. He then Exhorted the young Men to qualify
themselves and step forth and magnify their calling. In
Reading History I would Recommend the young Men to Read
Rollins Ancient History and Josephus. I exhorted

an opportunity. F D Richards followed me Conference adjourned
