July 8, 1838, Far West, Missouri.
Frederick G. Williams and William W. Phelps have lost their standing (priesthood
and offices as counselor in the First Presidency and assistant president
of the high council of Zion respectively). To be saved, they may be ordained
Elders and serve missions abroad.
Also on this date, D&C 106, 117, 118,
120. These appear to be the last recorded revelations before Joseph and
other leaders are taken prisoner and imprisoned in Liberty Jail. |
