Transcription

In conversing upon various principles President Young thought none would inherit this Earth when it became celestial & translated into the presence of God but those who would be crowned as Gods & able to endure the fulness of the Presance of God excepted they might be permitted to take with them some servants for whom they would be held responsible all others would have to inherit another kingdom even that kingdom agreeing with the law which they had kept yet He thought they would eventually have the privilege of proveing themselves worthy & advanceing to a celestial kingdom but it would be a slow progress
