Brigham Young on "Father Adam" being a Flaccid, not Rigid, Designator

  

. . .we are all father adams . . . as soon at the time times I shall pass the chain to father adam. . . . I want to stop your calling me father Young. in the Priesthood. the term properly applies to father adam, & to our father in heaven. (Brigham Young, as recorded in Willard Richards Journal, February 16,1847, Willard Richards journals and papers, 1821-1854, MS 1490, Church History Library)
