President Joseph Smith, Jun., after making many remarks on the
subject of choosing the Twelve, wanted an expression from the
brethren, if they would be satisfied to have the Spirit of the Lord
dictate in the {186} choice of the Elders to be Apostles; whereupon
all the Elders present expressed their anxious desire to have it so.
A hymn was then sung, "Hark, listen to the trumpeters." [6]
President Hyrum Smith prayed, and meeting was dismissed for one
hour.
Assembled pursuant to adjournment, and commenced with prayer.
President Joseph Smith, Jun., said that the first business of the
meeting was, for the Three Witnesses [7] of the Book of Mormon, to
pray each {187} one, and then proceed to choose twelve men from the
Church, as Apostles, to go to all nations, kindreds, tongues, and
people.
The Three Witnesses, viz., Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and
Martin Harris, united in prayer.
These Three Witnesses were then blessed by the laying on of the
hands of the Presidency.
