Letter from A. F. F. Jensen, 21 November 1897
Dorchester Wis President Wilford Woodruff Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Salt Lake Utah. Dear Sir & Brother in Christ My letters to you have been answered by President Lewis A Kelech of Northern States Mission 143 Le Mogne St Chicago. Whom also enclosed some Pamphlets to me. I have Book what the World Believes on Page 586 a Chapter from pen of Franklin D Richards appears on pages 609, 610 & 611 I find that government at Washington legislated against Orders prevailing in your Terretory that were contrary to Law & Order and contrary to the Apostolic Doctrine also contrary to your own Declarations of Doctrines as expressed on page 601 & 602. You state in Article of Faith that you believe in Obeying, Honoring, & Sustaining the Law. My Friend if this was Truth Our Congress would not had to legislate against you. I do not write for to stir up strife or Contention but in the enterest of Truth. I mean that any Organization whom lay claim to Devine Origin must come before the People in the Spirit of Truth. We as Human Beings are liable to Err and make Mistakes but Our Great Creator has given us Judgment and Reasoning Powers which we should use to his Glory and Honor and also for the uplifting of Humanety or Our Brother Man. Now Mr President, to bring in a Righteous Government it becomes absolutely necesary that Gods Professed Children Unite to Oppose all Wrong or Evil Laws. For a Righteous Government can not be Established
