The number of members and authorities of each conference being
ascertained as nearly as possible, it was determined that the
delegates should represent the condition of each conference, and
what alterations or measures were necessary to be adopted for the
well being of each other.
Elder Charles Miller having remarked that he had been challenged to
discussion, and had accepted it, it led to some remarks from Elder
Ward as to the very little good effected in general by discussions;
and that it was beneath the servants of God to turn aside from the
path of duty to wrangle and dispute like the people of the world;
and that while the professors of modern religion were in a manner
devouring each other, the path of the Saints ought to be onward in
the proclamation of the principles of truth.
Elder Hedlock agreed with the remarks of Elder Ward, and stated
that they were in perfect accordance with the advice of the First
Presidency, and that the evil ought to be guarded against as much
as possible.
