[William Clayton]
... I preached on the plurality doctrine. There are but few saints at this place, but they appear very attentive. Brothers Whiteley, Perks and several others bore testimony after me, Brother Watts, a druggist, got up to oppose the doctrine, and in answer to the question, said he wished to be cut off from the church; and the brethren and sisters raised their hands against him to cut him off from the Church.
