A. Smith said all Kingdoms should be given unto the
saints but all would not belong to the Church of God. A. M. Lyman said there
were different degrees of glory in the Kingdom of God, the Church was in the
Kingdom – the Kingdom embraced all nations. E. Dalton spoke of the difference
between the Church and Kingdom of God refered to the writings in the Doctrine
and Covenants spoke of our duties as saints. (Minutes of the School of the
Prophets Held in Parowan, March 26, 1870)
Meeting of the School
of the Prophets (at the usual time 2 p.m.) W. H. Dame Presiding. Prayer by Z.
B. Decker. C. C. Pendleton Spoke upon the falacy of worshiping a God without
parts and passions, and our duties and beliefs (end p. 70) and the many plans
that Satan has lead to astray mankind. (Minutes of the School of

Meeting of the School
of the Prophets. Singing by the Brethren. Prayer by Thomas Davenport. S. S.
Barton Spoke alluded to his recent sickness which had kept him away from the School.
Said the brethren manifested a greater flow of the Spirit here than in other
meetings. Bore his testimony to the truth of the work felt well. William Adams was
glad to be a member of the school and was edified by the teachings of its
members. Knew it was a time of trial for the Saints. When the Gospel was
revealed to the Prophet Joseph almost all men objected to his ministry on
account of their unbelief in further revolation for this Cause the Lord allowed
them to be deceived with strong delusion. Spiritualism is the chief of those
delusions, and is believed there in Parowan as (end p. 96) well as infidelity.
Owning to the minera(l) wealth that has been revealed in this Territory he
believed that the test that Bro. (Heber ?) spoke of is coming, felt to contend
earnestly for the faith of the Saints. C. C. Pendleton remarked that although
far from well yet he was always desirous of speaking in defence of the cause of
truth and serving God whether Sick or well. (Minutes of the School of
the Prophets Held in Parowan, March 18, 1872)
Jesse N. Smith spoke
the matter of Josephism rests upon the brethren. Emma was ambitious and sought
the power to lead the people. Brigham told her a woman could not lead the
people. (Minutes
of the School of the Prophets Held in Parowan, July 22, 1871)
Daniel Allen Said that the Savior told the Jews that
their homes should be left unto them desolate until the time of the Gentiles should
come in. I heard Joseph the Prophet say that he had seen John the Revelator and
had a long conversation with him, who told him that he was John their leader,
Prophet Priest and King, And Said that he was preparing that people to return,
and further Said that there is a mighty host of us, And Joseph further Said
that men might hunt for them but they could not find them for they were upon a
portion of this planet that had been broken off and which was taken away and
the sea (end p. 156) rushed in between Europe and America, and that when that
piece returned there would be a great shake the sea would then moove to the
north where it belonged in the morning of creation. (Minutes of the School of
the Prophets Held in Parowan, August 17, 1872)
