<br>At a conference today attended by the First Presidency, Brother Horace G. Whitney, Business Manager of the Deseret News, and myself, Brother Whitney explained the need of an early beginning on a second edition of the book &#39;Jesus the Christ&#39;. This day marks the end of the first month since the book was placed on sale and according to Brother Whitney&#39;s written report over half the edition has already been sold. As the book is to be used in the Advanced Theology classes in the Sunday Schools beginning January next, and as it has also been adopted in the quorum classes of the Melchizedek priesthood, it appears that a second edition must be issued before the beginning of the coming year. The decision was reached today that plans for the second edition be proceeded with immediately.

<br>The Fifteenth Ward Bishopric and Bro[ther]. Charles W. Stayner met with the Council this evening by request of [Acting Salt Lake Stake] President Joseph E. Taylor.
<br>
<br> President Taylor stated that he had heard that Bishop [Joseph] Pollard and Bro[ther]. Stayner had some misunderstanding, from remarks of the latter, in regard to women laying hands for the healing of the sick, and thought it proper to have the matter presented to the Council for the purpose of hearing what the brethren had to say in relation to it. ...
<br>
<br> My subject that evening was in relation to young people getting married. I advised them not to get married except through the sealing covenant. ... I mentioned this and said that a young Sister who was married by the sealing power became a partaker of the priesthood which her husband held but could not if she married him by any other means. As an additional inducement to her to do so, I stated if she had a child after this marriage, and it should become sick and afflicted, she could, in the absence of her husband and the absence of the Elders, herself lay hands upon her child by virtue of he priesthood she held in connection with her husband. Bro[ther]. Pollard seemed to infer from this that I intended to convey the idea that a woman could hold the priesthood separate and apart from her husband; at least I judged so from his remarks at the close of the meeting. I told him that there must be some misunderstanding. ... I had no idea that a Sister held the priesthood separate
<br>and apart from her husband, or could exercise any right whatever&#39;separate and apart from him&#39;except in her own family as I have already stated. Bro[ther] Pollard said that a woman had no right whatever to exercise any such power or privilege and consequently we decided, at the first opportunity which presented itself, to lay the matter before the President of the Stake and get a decision with regard to our positions. ...
<br>
<br> Bishop Joseph Pollard said: ... I listened to his remarks with a great deal of attention and interest until he said that &#39;1/2the Sister who was sealed to a Brother would have the priesthood he holds in
<br>
<br> connection with him.&#39;| Furthermore, he said that she had a right to exercise the priesthood she held to administer to her own family in the absence of her husband and the Elders. I understood Bro[ther]. Stayner to say that a Sister, when sealed to a husband in the House of God, held the same priesthood he held, let it be what it may; whatever priesthood the husband held the Sister also held it in connection with him. I will say that I never heard this doctrine before. I have been in the Church a great many years, and I have tried to inform myself concerning the principles of the Gospel but that is something entirely new to me.
<br>
<br> If it is true that a woman holds the priesthood of God I want to know it; not that I oppose it ...
<br>
<br> I felt it my duty to speak about this in public as a great many of our sisters would take advantage of this, and when they once got started it would be a hard job to get them quieted down again. ...
<br>

Summerhays speaking:] ... I take the stand that you have no right to excommunicate me from the Church for the reasons which I will state further. ... I am at liberty now to say some things which I was not at liberty to say before. In the year 1905, after President [Joseph F.] Smith had issued his statement on plural marriages in 1904, he took a party to Mexico, the occasion being the dedication of the Juarez Academy. Among the party were President Smith and wife, his son Joseph F[ielding]. Jr., and myself. ... President Smith called me to him and took me up into one of the upper rooms in President Ivins&#39; home and he told me this man whom he had met in the garden was married, but had no children and had made all arrangements before the President&#39;s declaration to marry a girl and he said I don&#39;t know how this can be done, but if you know how it can be done you have it done; you say that it can be done. I spoke to President Ivins about it and he said that he had been told
<br>by President Smith on a previous occasion that unless a bigger man than he came along that he was not to marry any one unless so instructed by this bigger man. I asked President Ivins to let me see his ceremony and he did I have had invitations from twenty or more people to go and officiate and in every instance I have told them no as I had no authority. My conscience is free before God and I had the authority and if told to do it tomorrow I would do it. That is one reason why I think you cannot cut me off the Church. ... I went to President Ivins and said President Smith wants Brother Sears married, and then is when he made the remark that he had instructions that unless a great man came he was not to perform any marriages.... President Smith has said further on several occasions that he didn&#39;t want to know anything about this. ...
<br>
<br> Summerhays: In February of 1898, President Smith who was then counselor to President [Wilford] Woodruff, Brother Spence and others were in New York, and I asked for an interview with him. I told him some of the brethren were getting wives and I asked him if it would be alright if I took one. He said it would under certain conditions. But my marriage did not take place for five years afterwards on the 25th of September 1903. ... [Not excommunicated].
