27 ^Sunday^ [FIGURE] This was an interesting day. A
large assembly met in the grove near the Temple
Br Amisa Lyman addressed the assembly & made
many interesting remarks. He was followed by
Joseph the Seer who made some edifying remarks
concerning baptism for the dead. He said the Bible
supported the doctrin, "why are ye baptized for
the dead if the dead rise not &c" if their is one word
of the Lord that supports the doctrin it is enough to mak[e]
it a true doctrin. Again if we can baptize a man in
the Name of the Father of the Son & of the Holy Ghost
for the remission of sins it is just as much our privilege
to act as an agent & be baptized for the remission
of sins for & in behalf of our dead kindred who have not
herd the gospel or fulness of it. After meeting
closed the congregation again assembled upon the
bank of the river & Joseph the seer went into
