Morning fine and pleasant. The Brethren all around the camp are expressing their feeling in regard to last night's discussion. The prevailing sentiment appears to be, that it will be more profitable to drop it, than to continue it any longer, inasmuch as there appears to be no light given, but rather tends to create a wider difference in opinion.

. . . Soon after we started this morning father Rhodes wounded an Antelope, which was chased and finally killed by Washington L. Jolley. This evening the brethren kindly divided it amongst the camp, and it was indeed a treat.

At a quarter past 6 the brethren assembled for prayer and joined with Elder W[illia]m Pitt. Brother Erick G. M. Hougan being quite unwell, desired the brethren to administer to him. Elders Orson Pratt, Orson Spencer and Horace S. Eldredge laid hands on him and Elder Pratt rebuked his sickness.

Elder Pratt then delivered a discourse on the doctrine of the Resurrection. He advises the Elders never to advance an idea before the world, which we cannot substantiate by revelation; and also to respect each others views and sentiments however much we may differ in opinion; inasmuch as it is but reasonable to suppose that every brother entertains his opinions honestly; and if we know anyone to be in error, and cannot convince him of his error by sound argument and revelation, not to ridicule him for his opinion, but treat him with respect . . .

His whole discourse was interesting and profitable, and was delivered in a meek and kind spirit. I have no opportunity to take full minutes, on account of having to write in the camp journal every night, besides generally having to do my share in getting wood and preparing for supper. The evening was mild and pleasant.
