Mormon History, Dec 24, 1845. Wednesday.

[William Clayton Journal] At half past 6 o clock, the High Council met for prayer in the attic story of the Temple room No. 4, the following persons present: Samuel Bent, Alpheus Cutler, James Allred, Geo. W. Harris, Newel Knight, Thomas Grover, Charles C. Rich, David Fullmer, Aaron Johnson and Ezra T. Benson. And being clothed in the Robes of Priesthood, offered up prayers to God for our prosperity, the preservation of the Twelve, for means to remove from this place, for the welfare of all the honest in heart, our wives and children &c &c Alpheus Cutler being mouth . . . At 20 minutes past 12, William Miller who was arrested yesterday, came into the Temple, having been liberated from arrest at Carthage last evening, when they found out that he was not Brigham Young. He was not ill treated . . . At 5 o clock P.M. President Young came in, and shortly after George A. Smith, Amasa Lyman and Orson Hyde came in, intending to meet for prayer, but not meeting with others whom they e
xpected, several persons being at the same time in prayer in another room they retired in a few minutes . . . All the Twelve have been absent from the Temple the greater part of this day except Orson Pratt, who has spent the greater part of the day here. In the evening President Brigham Young, Elder H. C. Kimball, Orson Hyde, Amasa Lyman and George A. Smith came in, but did not remain long. They soon retired, but at about 20 minutes past eleven, President Young and H. C. Kimball came in and remained the rest of the night. The labors of this day have been very arduous 122 persons having been washed and anointed and received into the upper department. It was expected that troops would be in, with officers and writs, for the purpose of arresting the Twelve, who are mostly charged with counterfeiting the current coin of the United States, but no signs of troops, writs or officers have appeared to molest our peace. The day has been moderately cold, and in the evening a light flu
rry of snow. Sister Huldah Duncan, whose name is among those who were washed and anointed did not go through the vail being obliged to turn back on account of the illness of her little child. See account of persons passed through January 20th.
