The Church: Its Organization, Order and Discipline

A Hard, Critical Spirit Condemned

Special Testimony,” No. 3, Aug. 3, 1894, contains the following: “A hard, unjust, critical spirit has been indulged among those who have held positions of trust in the work of the Lord. Unless those who have indulged this spirit are converted, they will be relieved of the responsibilities of acting a part in committees of council even in the transaction of business. Unless they are converted, their voice must not be heard in the council; for the aggregate result is more injurious than beneficial.”-Pages 10, 11. COOD 149.1
