I met with Father Ezra Carter & Mrs Phebe W. Woodruff And Conversed with Father Carter upon the subject of the Priesthood. I laid my hands upon his head & ordained him to the office of High Priest And to the office of A Patriarch in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He is the ownly individual out of A numerous family who has recieved the gospel. It was Manifest in various ways that He was of the Blood Of Ephraim from the loins of Joseph. It was fully manifest unto me while my hands was upon his head that this was the case. The power of God rested upon us while attending to these ordinances And we were filled with the spirit of God, Prophecy & rejoiceing.
