much while presiding over Twelve Apostles, as while presiding over
two as his Councillors. And in the Appointmen of Brigham
Young and John Taylor, to the presidency of the Church it never
Entered into the Heart of any one of the Twelve Apostles to
claim the right to preside over Brigham Young or John Taylor as they
were already the president of the Church And if they were not
fit to be the president of the Church, they were not fit to to Preside
over the Twelve Apostles. 2nd In case of the Death of the President
It takes the Majority of the Twelve Apostles to Appoint the
President of the Church, And it is vary unreasonable to
suppose that the Majority of that Quorum could be
converted to depart from the path marked out by inspi-
ration & followed by the Apostles in the death of Christ
and also by the Twelve Apostles since the Death of Joseph
Smith. Again I see no reason for discussing this subject
untill there is some cause for it
