We had singing. Then President Young Called upon me to offer up the Dedication Prayer which I did.
There had been some misunderstanding Between Presidet Brigham Young & Joseph F Smith about the notifying of the Twelve to be preset at the meeting, and Brother Joseph Smith Asked President Youngs Pardon for Contradicting him in the matter which Pardon was granted By Presidet Young. We were then dismissed & returned to our homes. (1)
