Salt Lake City, UT: The Church of Jesus Christ, 1881. 24pp. Octavo [22cm]; pamphlet, sewn wraps. Tiny chip to front wrap's bottom corner, rear cover faintly stained with old past/glue. Previous owner's neat handwriting in blue ink to the foot of p. 23. Still, very good. Discourse delivered by John Taylor, the third president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "There are a number of men pretty well up in years who are associated with the First Seven Presidents over the Seventies. Some have been of the opinion, as these men are aged, that it would be perhaps better to have some younger person appointed to fill the vacancy [...] However, there seems to be an order in the Priesthood pertaining to these matters that we cannot well ignore."
