Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from True Succession in Church Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Vol. 5: Being a Reply to Elder B. H. Roberts on "Succession in the Presidency of the Church"
This, then, fixes the responsibility of an indorsement upon the Presidency; and in meeting the issues discussed by Mr. Roberts in Succession in the Presidency of the Church, we are not simply meeting Mr. Roberts alone, but we are meeting the authorized positions of the church in Utah upon the issues involved.
In addition to this Mr. Roberts is one of the seven Presi dents of Seventy, a leading minister, a popular lecturer, and an author of no mean repute among his fellows, being the author of the Life of John Taylor, Outlines of Ecclesiastical History, The Gospel, and other publi cations.
Having then located our contestants and estimated the strength of their position, we advance to the examination confident of the final triumph of the right wherever found; and send forth this little book with a humble prayer that the erring may learn wisdom and the darkened mind receive light. We wish here to gratefully acknowledge the assistance rendered us by valuable suggestions given us by several.
With much confidence we submit the issues involved to the careful investigation of an indulgent, but discerning public.
