Yesterday’s answer:
D He scheduled a second Sunday meeting without
consulting the others
In reference to the 1835 mission of the Quorum
of the Twelve Apostles: This is in reference to the 1835 meeting of the Quorum
of the Twelve first mission in Upper Canada: Soon after the conference
adjourned, the public meeting began. Lyman Johnson spoke on the February 16,
1832, vision of the afterlife later published as “The Vision” [D&C 76],
David Patten spoke briefly, and the meeting closed at 1:30. McLellin then
exercised his presiding prerogative and appointed another session at 5:00,
“supposing that the brethren would go home and take dinner and return, but the
most of them tarried and stood round talking, awaiting with anxiety for 5 to
come.” Parley P. Pratt complained to McLellin “that his feelings had not been
so tried with any president since he had stared on his mission,” because he had
appointed another meeting when Pratt and others thought there was no need for
one. Thomas B. Marsh, apparently also upset with McLellin, then declined taking
his turn to preach. Feeling forsaken by his brethren but determined to finish
what he had begun, Elder McLellin both conducted the meeting “and spoke about
two hours on the Priest Hoods to the general satisfaction and edification of
all present even to the brethren who had opposed me.” After counseling together,
Sunday saw better harmony, with agreement that Elders Marsh and Patten, next in
the rotation, “should conduct the meetings as it might seem them good.” They
did so, reported McLellin, and “we had a good meeting.”
