The sum of $300. was also appropriated in favor of the Whitney ward meeting house. Bro[ther]. Reed Smoot, by authority of the Holy Priesthood, we lay our hands upon your head and ordain you an Apostle in the quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and that you may by the power of God and the light of the Holy Ghost testify that you do know the Son of God, and testify to his having come down from the eternal worlds and died for the sins of man; and also that you may testify of the true prophet, that he is a true prophet, a prophet of the Son of God [with] authority to preach and administer the Gospel to the children of men--Joseph Smith. That you may also testify of him that you do know by the testimony of the Holy Spirit that he is a prophet of God, sent for that purpose; and that you may feel that by the Holy Ghost, and be able to accomplish all the duties that may be imposed upon you as an apostle of the Son of God; and that you may do all things by the power of revelation that shall be in and through you--in your mind continually, and do it by the light of the Spirit and by revelation, all the duties that from time to time shall be imposed upon you as an Apostle of Jesus Christ and servant of God ... Pres[ident]. [Lorenzo] Snow proclaimed against admitting persons to the Temple who are non tith[e] payers. He also advised against admitting persons, to receive 2d anointings, who are not very worthy. (2)
