GURLEY ENDORSES THE COURSE OF THE CHURCH IN 1846.
(One month before the great Exodus then in preparation.) The Minutes of January 3rd, 1846 (21st quorum) say:
"Zenos H. Gurley enlarged on the subject of liberally donating to the Church necessity. 'God,' said he, 'had so shaped the scheme of salvation as that to be saved and appear approved of God, we must SACRIFICE OF ALL WE POSSESS.' * * * He felt filled with the spirit. THE COURSE THE CHURCH IS PURSUING HAS BEEN SPOKEN OF BY JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY PROPHETS OF OLDEN TIMES."
