Council of June 1 or 3, 1833

Doctor P. Hurlbut is excommunicated. D&C 95 reveals the dimensions of the House of the Lord, which is to be used for the endowment of power of the Lord's apostles, worship, and the school of the prophets.

According to the Kirtland Revelations Book qtd. in Joseph Smith Revelations, 239, the conference was held June 1. However, the Kirtland Council Minute Book and Times and Seasons vol. 6 no. 2 (February 1, 1845), 784 date the conference as June 3. The 1835 version of the D&C dates the revelation only as June 1833.
