[Joseph Smith Diary] Tuesday, February 2nd A.D. 1836 Attended school as usual and various duties. Went to the schoolhouse in the evening and heard an animated discourse delivered by Pres[ident] S[idney] Rigdon. He touched the outlines of our faith. [He] showed the scattering and gathering of Israel from the scriptures and the stick of Joseph in the hands of Eaphraim and The law of Eaphraim aside from that of Moses. It was an interesting meeting. The spirit bore record that the Lord was well pleased! (2)
