The Church: Its Organization, Order and Discipline
Partiality Condemned
In a later number of the Review, the issue of July 23, 1895, there appeared still further light on the question under consideration: “Laws and rules are being made at the centers of the work that will soon be broken into atoms. Men are not to dictate. It is not for those in places of authority to employ all their powers to sustain some, while others are cast down, ignored, forsaken, and left to perish. But it is the duty of the leaders to lend a helping hand to all who are in need. Let each work in the line God may indicate to him by his Holy Spirit.... None are to exercise their human authority to bind the minds and souls of their fellow men. They are not to devise and put into practise methods and plans to bring every individual under their jurisdiction. COOD 154.1
