[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 9th Sunday Joseph Young spoke in the morning to the 70 & ordained some. Br K[e?]y sung Joseph the Seer. Meeting was Addressed by Emer Harris who spoke well. He said He had the first Book of Mormon ever bound in America. He spoke of Charity. Said that when we gave to the poor Children of God we gave to God & should recieve our reward.
He was followed by O Hyde on the dispute on claims. If a man will not do right if he will trespass upon the claim of his Brother & will not submit to the decisions of the Councils in this thing then let the injured Brother leave his Claim And let the spirit of the Lord come away with him & let the transgressor come down to poverty & yet come bending to his injured Brother for Bread And let this be recorded in the Church record. And all the people said Amen.
