Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: February 15, 1906 Built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1834. Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Succession by Decision of Court February, 1880. By order of the court appeared to the party a very poor and insufficient claim without a vestige of proof of divine authority. No' 'order of the court can transmit the succession of the Holy Priesthood or of the spirit, power, and religious rights of the Church established by revelation from God. These are not within the jurisdiction of any civil tribunal. The legal possession of the Kirtland Temple was not contested by this Church and no appearance was made for it at the trial instituted by the Reorganizers. The title to the property is one thing, the succession of the Church authorities is another and different thing, involving principles that no worldly opinion or edict can affect either in time or in eternity. But the party was not therefor argument or protest, and while saying nought, kept up considerable thinking.
