Synopsis

Excerpt from True Succession in Church Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Vol. 5: Being a Reply to Elder B. H. Roberts on "Succession in the Presidency of the Church" The only apology needed for the appearance of this work is, that we have been attacked, and it is both a privilege and a duty to respond. Some have thought the church was too slow and should have replied long ago. But had we rushed into print when the work of Mr. Roberts first appeared, we would have done so unadvisedly. We did not know whether he was authorized to write or not; nor did we know whether the church he represented would indorse his positions; hence no one was appointed to reply; though it was not lost sight of, and several, of the elders upon their own responsibility were carefully collecting material; for use in such reply. Now that the representatives of the church in Utah, both in Europe and America, have made it their chief weapon of attack and defense, we think the opportune time has come, for they are thus pledged to its support. Further, we have the direct testimony of Mr. Roberts that the First Presidency in Utah indorsed his work. The book was copyrighted in February, 1894. In the latter part of the year 1895 Mr. Roberts, together with Moses Thatcher, fell under the displeasure of church authorities for his political actions; while under the ban of disapproval he was interviewed, and the interview published in the Salt Lake Tribune for October 14, 1895. The following is an extract from the interview: - Statement By Roberts. Claims That He Confronts A Grave Crisis. The following authorized statement by B. H. Roberts, in the form of an interview, was given out at the Democratic State headquarters last evening. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
