Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 37: June 15, 1902 In affairs of state, a citizen can do no greater wrong than to betray his coun try and to become disloyal to its inter ests; such a man is justly looked upon by all good men as the vilest of creatures. If one by word or deed does aught against his government, especially in times of war or great peril, he must an swer for treason and sedition. This same principle obtains in Church affairs. If by word or deed we do aught to 0p pose or embarrass those who preside over us, who have been ordained and anointed to that office, or if we do or say aught that will lessen the esteem and fidelity of others for the Priesthood, or in any way lessen its influence for good, we become traitors to our Father's cause, and are guilty of lifting our hands against the Lord's anointed. David, we have seen. Would not presume to do this; even though Saul had been rejected of the Lord and had become very wicked, seeking by every means possible to slay David, he was still the Lord's anointed, till the Lord saw fit to remove him. No man had a right to remove him or ignore his authority. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
