Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith

Section Six (1843-1844) | On Leaving Meetings Near the Close

1President Joseph Smith stated that the business of the conference had closed, and the remainder would be devoted to instruction. It is an insult to a meeting for persons to leave just before its close. If they must go out, let them go half an hour before. No gentlemen will go out of a meeting just as closing. (April 7, 1843.) DHC 5:338-339.
