Brother [Reynolds] Cahoon followed with nearly the same remarks Brother Isaac Hill, thought it ought to be quashed here, and go no farther. followed with the same from brother I[saac] Bishop. Brother Samuel H. Smith said that it was his opinion, that brother Sylvester ought to make a more public confession, and send by letter to those who are in the same transgression, with himself and inform them of this decision, and then if necessary make it public in the Star. Brother Orson Hyde thought that the confession ought to be as liberal as the accusation, or that it ought to be written and published Brother J. P. Green, said that if brother Sylvester would view this thing in its proper light, he would be willing
to make a public confession and send forth; and he advised him to do this for the salvation of the Churches abroad. Brother Isaac Story, said that it was his opinion the plaster ought to be as large as the wound, that a proper statement ought to be pub lished abroad. The clerk then proposed that this council send a certificate or resolution, informing the churches abroad, that the conduct of brother Joseph, has
been investigated, and that he has acted in a proper manner and in every respect has conducted himself to the sat isfaction of the church in Kirtland, and also let brother Sylvester make a proper confession following the same minutes. Brother A[masa] Lyman, P[eter] Shirts, T[ruman] Wait, N. Evans. A[lpheus] Cutler and T[homas] Burdick, made remarks to the same effect. Brother S. Rigdon, made a few remarks upon the attitude in which, he, Sylvester now stands before the world, in endeavoring to preach the gospel. [p. 53]
