Elder Horne and I chatted again tonight about the Gospel and the Adam-God Doctrine, as we have done many times before. Brother Horne, who grew up in Salt Lake City and was the son of Richard Horne and grandson of Joseph Horne said, in reference to the Adam-God Doctrine, that when he first went through the Temple [Salt Lake] for his Endowment in 1902 before going on his mission he was surprised to hear the teachings during the Temple ceremony [in the Sermon before the veil] that, Adam was our God and that he came here with Eve, one of his wives. Also, it was taught that Eve bore our spirits.
