Scope and Contents

"I spent the forenoon in the Historian's Office where Bro. C. W. Penrose and I listened to Bro. [B. H.] Roberts reading his concluding chapter on the prophet Joseph Smith. We got him to eliminate his theories in regard to intelligences as conscious, self-existing beings or entities before being organized into spirits. This doctrine has raised much discussion and the inference on which he builds his theory is very vague. The prophet's speech delivered as a funeral sermon over King Follett is the basis of Bro. Roberts doctrine: namely where he speaks of man's eternity claim. Roberts want to prove that man then is co-eval with God. He no doubt felt bad to have us eliminate his pet theory."
