[Apostle Rudger Clawson Diary] Regular meeting of the authorities at temple... Question: When an illegitimate child is brought to be blessed, shall it bear the father's or the mother's name? It was thought the mother should have the right [to] determine this point.
Apostle Rudger Clawson wanted to know if the authorities approved of the teachings of a certain sister by the name of Hannah Sorensen, relating particulary to "diet" and "marital relations of the sexes." Stated that she was so radical in her views upon these subjects that harm was being done among young married women in the Box Elder Stake, who had studied in her classes. Some discussion ensued, and the general opinion seemed to be that Sister Sorensen was a "frank," or in other words, an extremist. Apostle Lyman was mouth in prayer.
