Letter from Angus Munn Cannon, Joseph E. Taylor, and John Nicholson, 6 February 1889

President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother: At a meeting of the High Council of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion, held in this city, on Thursday, Jan. 31st, 1889, the subject of the compen- sation for labor performed by the Clerk of said Council and of the Stake was considered. It was expressed by resolution as the unanimous opin ion of the Council that the Clerk ought to be paid from the General tithing fund, for the following, among other reasons: 1st. This is the largest and most important Stake of the Church, the Clerk is exclusively engaged in performing public service in the interest of the people, and so long as he is thus engaged has no other source of support. 2nd. As the tithes of this Stake are paid directly into the General Tithing Store, there is no other source than the fund that can be drawn upon for the payment of a Clerk. In this respect the situation is different to what it is in other Stakes where the business of High Councils is com- paratively limited and Clerks can occupy much of their time in handling tithes and performing other duties

Letter to Christopher Jensen Kempe, 6 February 1889

Salt Lake City, Utah, . Elder C. I. Kempe, Erastus, Apache Co, Arizona. Dear Brother:— Your letter of Jan. 28th, in regard to the questions that seem to be agitating the ominds of some of the Saints in your Ward, has been received. Your reference to the lecture of Brother Joseph E. Taylor, as published in the DESERET NEWS WEEKLY, again calls to our attention the same subject from other quarters. It is very unfortunate that some of our Elders will from time to time launch out upon subjects that they are not authorized to advance, and get their views before the people. It is also very strange that our Sober- minded and reflecting brethren will suffer themselves to become so agitated when they read the views of a man who is not authorized to advance such prin- ciples, let them be printed where they may. Myself nor my brethren of the Apostles did not know of this lecture until it was published as you state. For us to endeavor to attempt to correct everything that is published, knowing nothing of it until we find it in print, we would have our hands full of such work.
