[1]. In a number of articles by Zenas H. Gurley, one of the founders of the "Reorganized" church, in the Saints Herald, Vol. I, the "Reorganization" is referred to as "a new organization of the Church." This agrees with the statement of the president of that church, in the Saints Herald, Feb. 17, 1904. Said he: "The Church, using the word to mean the Church rejected, has not been again received."

[6]. In his testimony before the Circuit Court, at Kansas City, in the "Temple Lot" suit, he said: "No, sir, I did not state that I was ordained by my father; I did not make the statement. I was not ordained by my father as his successor; according to my understanding of the word ordain, I was not." Plaintiff's Abstract, page 79, paragraph 126.
[7]. In a communication from the president of the "Reorganized" church, which is now in the hands of the writer, the statement is made that there is nothing in sections 127 and 128 (CIX and CX "Reorganite" edition) of the Doctrine and Covenants, "to indicate that they are revelations. These articles refer only to the baptism for the dead." The Prophet Joseph, however, in these articles on baptism for the dead declares that they are revelations. See sec. 127, verses 4, 6, 8 and 10; also 128, verse 2.
