Members Should Get Instruction Through Proper Order by Those Appointed to Lead — Eliza R. Snow (April 28, 1842)
This Society is to get instruction thro’ the order which God has established — thro’ the medium of those appointed to lead — and I now turn the key to you in the name of God and this Society shall rejoice and knowledge and intelligence shall flow down from this time — this is the beginning of better days, to this Society.
