It is with regret that we take this course; as his parents are here in our midst, as firm members of the Church, and willing to do right.-But unpleasant duties must be done, and the authorities, character and the union of the Church be preserved for the salvation thereof. Done by the authorities of the Twelve and others, in council assembled, at President B. Young's, Nauvoo, Illinois, this 26th day of September. 1844. WILLARD RICHARDS, clerk.
