Wilford Woodruff
I attended prayer meeting in the evening circle. President Young asked Elder Orson Pratt what he thought of his preaching that intelligent beings would continue to learn to all eternity. O. Pratt said that he believed the Gods had a knowledge at the present time of every thing that ever did exist to the endless ages of all eternity. He believed it as much as any truth that he had ever learned in or out of this church. President Young remarked that he had never learned that principle in the church for it was not taught in the church, for it was not true: it was false doctrine, for the Gods and all intelligent beings would never cease to learn except it was the Sons of Perdition; they would continue to decrease until they become dissolved back into their native element and lost their identity.
