[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 4th Sunday O Pratt deliverd a sermon on the first principle of the gospel. Had an intermission one hour. During this time O Pratt, A Lyman and W. Woodruff laid out the city of the Camp of Israel named Winter Quarters into thirteen wards and appointed a Bishop over each ward. We ordained six of the Bishops. There was A Council in the evening to transact such business as was necessary.
