[Apostle John Henry Smith] [Some of the apostles and First Presidency] met and heard read an Article on the Godhead by the Presidency but it was refered to some of the brethren to examine as to the questions of Developement. [Note: Talmage notes this was "to consider a proposed article by the First Presidency on 'The Origin of Man'"].
Bros. A. W. Ivins, Geo. F. Richards and I talked over the question with Dr. Jas. E. Talmage of the purchase of his Copyright of his new book, The Apostasy. Our Committee recommended to the Presidency that we pay him $3,000.00 for it.
