Go to Book

12 November 1843 (Sunday). At Temple

As a matter of course we felt a desire to behold the Prophet Joseph—on the following day (Sunday) we proceeded to the Temple (then in an unfinished state) to hear him preach we were gratified in seeing & hearing him on that occasion & we soon felt & knew we were listening to one that had not been taught of men—So different were all his thoughts & language.

—12 November 1843
