EMS publishes D&C 68 in
October 1832. What are now
verses 15 and 22 refer to high priest conferences but frequency is not specified.
These references will be dropped in 1835.
The Articles
and Covenants, EMS (June 1832), refer to elders' conferences
every three months, though the version in PT, Apr. 19, 1831, does not. High priests are not mentioned.

| Consider meeting
schedule of high priests/elders |
|
Query, What is the duty of the High Priests. |
|
|
Are the High priests in the land of Zion required
to meet as Elders in the three month conference according to the Articles
& Covenants to do Church business. |
|
|
Is the council of Elders where the president
of the Elders resides to teach them their duty the same as the three month
conference mentioned in the Covenants. |
|
| Oliver Cowdery ordains
elders
Beebe and Dustin to the High Priesthood |
|
Moved by br. Wm. E. McLellin that certain Elders
present should express their minds concerning ordination to the High Priesthood.
brs. Calvin Beebe & Peter Dustin desired the office & were ordained under
the hand of br. Oliver Cowdery |
