[Brigham Young Sermon] Br. Brigham spoke. Showed that the Gospel was laid down in the old and new testament as plain as the map of a City. Said that the power of the Priesthood was a perfect system of Government in the Heavens and on the Earth when Jesus should come and dwell with his Saints. Said he wished the Saints to learn one thing'"that weaknesses were not sins unless committed with at intent to do wrong and it was not right for us to judge or accuse our brethren until we were certain and knew that they intended to a wrong thing. Spoke of the rebellion in heaven'"the third part being cast down to this earth said their punishment was that of not being permitted to have tabernacles of flesh neither in this time nor in the time to come. -- Summit Creek, Utah [Diary of Charles Lowell Walker. Andrew Karl Larson, ed. Logan: Utah State University Press, 1980. 19]
