[John Henry Smith]
10 a.m. went to meeting. Bro. B. Bennett of Frisco bore his testimony and Edward Partridge and J. V. Robison [spoke], the latter on the celestial law of marriage, showing that the man who had one wife sealed to him by the Holy Spirit of promise had only gone part of the way.

I presented the general authorities and Br. E. Partridge the local. After which Bro. F[rancis]. M. Lyman spoke on the Celestial law of marriage laying down the rule that no man could get all of the blessings without keeping the whole law.
