Excerpt from Zion's Landmark, Vol. 72: November 15, 1938 When this assembly is organized into a conference, it constitutes the highest ecclesiastical power on earth and from its decision there is no appeal. Being the body of the Lord, she recognizes no rule or authority over her, other than the will of her Great Head. Each local assembly is entrusted with the administration and execution of the laws of Zion, the great city of the Celestial King.' These laws, coming down from heaven, carry with them the right of organization and power of action. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
