I have done as you said, I pre-
sented to President Clark, and to some of
the elders the questions that I presented to
you in my letter; But to my astonishment I
found my Brethrens faith, had change from
what it, was, when I were in Utah.
All your missionarys with whom I con-
versed told me as well as B. Clark, that we
must have a revelation from the Lord through
you P. Woodruff before we could act upon
the revelations given through the seer, Joseph
the martyr. Brother Brigham, told me
and B. Suhultz different from that in 1876.
This shows to me, that my Brethren in
Utah- have lost the Spirit of the work, of our
Lord, and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To believe that you—or eny other elder—
shall give us a revelation before we can act
upon the revelations which we have received from
Joseph the martyr, is a false faith—which
faith the Lord, have decreed to destroy, in an hour
we think not. The Lord give his Church a law
in 1831, saying that we must not receive the Teach-
ing of any that shall come before us as revelations -
