Letter to Francis Asbury Hammond, 3 November 1894

P.O. Box B. Salt Lake City, Utah. . Prest. F. A. Hammond, San Juan Stake. Dear Brother: In your favor to President Woodruff of August 14th, you ask the following questions: First, "Has the Stake Presidency the right to accept a Bishop's release without the Ward voting on it?" We answer: Whenever such a case arises the Stake Presidency should submit it with all necessary particulars and details, to the First Presidency. Second: "Can the Presidency of the Stake suspend a Bishop from acting?" Not without the case is presented to the High Council and the consent of that body be obtained, or, in other words, the Stake Presidency and High Council, acting unitedly, can take this action. Third: "Can the High Council, with the Presidency of the Stake, try a Bishop for cause of any kind?" A Bishop may be thus tried for his fellowship as a member of the Church, but not as a Bishop, nor for his official actions in that calling. Fourth: "Is it proper and the right thing to do, to give recommends to the Temple to parties who the Bishop and Prsident deem entirely unworthy because an Apostle tells them to do it?" If such a case occurs the President should refer it in detail to the First Presi- dency, that they may judge the matter understandingly on its merits. No general rule will meet all cases where such a complication is likely to arise, though we incline to the opinion that such instances will be very few.
