President proceeded to give his reasons for
believing that the spirit which had been

him a suit Of clothes, and a gold watch, the
best that could be had; also, sauting the
sisters with what he calls a holy kiss, ia
king them on his lap, and putting his arms
around them, &c.
Elder K. arose and stated that he knew
the revelations which he had spoken were
from God, and that he had no confession
to make, whereupon the conference cut
him off from the church, and demanded
his license, which ho refused to give up
