 "Yes, I guess it would be considered
 he of the mysteries now"
 Senator Pettus inquired concerning
 he authority given to MT. Smoot to Iecome candidate for senator. and
 Ir. Lyman said that consent, under a
 ule of the church, must have been giv-
 In by President Smith.
 MT. Lyman said the principle of get ing consent was that a shepherd could
 ot leave a flock of sheep until his suc-
 lessor came to take charge, and there Spre it was required that officials must Net authority before leaving their off, |ial duties in the church.
 Apostles Grant and Teasdale were
 hosen by revelation to President now" said MT. Lyman, land a revela- ion also was given me in regard to hese men,
 x He explained that the latter revela- Zion came after President Snow had s51d him the names of the men he want
 Id chosen to the vacancies MT. Lyman |Eas asked what distinction he made Between the revelations he obeyed and hose he did not obey. q suppose you mean the laws I have Confessed that I have violated in CO., {Eabitation with plural wives?" he fsked.
 When told that was what was meant fle said:

 Senator Hoar followed this question by asking the witness if he had receiv- Id a revelation concerning what he was |to testify to on the stand, and whether |such revelation could be responsible | for his change of mind in regard to the Questions asked. Are your answers here by order of the Lord? Are they given in your hu- {man or inspired capacity?" the senator asked.
