Transcription

The Prophet used to hold meetings in a Log house of his sometimes twice a week I do not remember missing one when I had a chance at one of these he said he wished he had a people that he could reveal to them what the Lord had shown to him but one thing I will say there are thousands of Spirits that have been waiting to come forth in this day and generation thier proper channel is through the Priesthood a way has to be provided but the time has come and they have got to come anyway and thus left me in a fix. Some time after this Wm Clayton told me if I would come down into the basement of the Temple he wanted to show me something and that I might bring Stephen Hales with me we went into a little place boxed of for a paint shop for Wm Pitt he been present there Br Wm C. read unto us the Revelation on Plural marriage. This explained the above I believed it yet did not obey the same until 1872.
