[Joseph Smith Sermon] On Saturday last (Jan. 25) a conference of elders was held in the Brandywine branch; pres't. [President] Joseph Smith Jr. being present, was called to preside, and James Rodeback appointed clerk. Two elders and two priests were ordained; great harmony prevailed in the meeting, and much important instruction was given to the elders and members present by pres't Smith.
The saints in that place appear determined to keep the commandments of God; and the visit of brother Smith among them, I trust has tended much to strengthen, and confirm them in the faith of the everlasting gospel. (1)
