[Anthony W. Ivins] As I wrote the exercises of the Conference Yesterdsy [October 6, 1907], I wrote the names of the Presidency as they were presented by Pres[ident]. [Joseph F.] Smith. He then presented the name of F[rancis]. M. Lyman as president of the Quorum of Apostles & then to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Geo[rge]. Teasdale presented my name. I was so overcome that I could not write. Immediately after Conference adjourned I went with the Presidency & quorum of Apostles to the President’s office and after instructing me in regard to my duties as a member of the quorum, the Presidency and Twelve laid their hands on me and Pres[ident]. Smith ordained me a member of the quorum. In the P.M. I attended the S[unday]. S[chool] Conference and this A.M. have been in attendance at Special Priesthood Meeting.
