TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW.
The question has often been asked.
why the Church was organized with
only six members. when there were
nine who had been baptized and had
become communicates according TO the
revelations given through Joseph
Smith. The explanation has been Of
fered that perhaps at the time il was
inConvenicnt TO secure the attendance
Of more than this number az the time Of
organization The day had been desig-
mated TO the prophet when the Church
should complete it's organization. and
IT has been suggested that only the six
members were within reach when the
time came. Allowing this to be true.
there is no doubt that the number ion
attendance upon that occasion was not
alone for that reason, but in compli-
ance with the legal requirements Of the
statutes Of the state Of New York,
which were explicit in their provisions
with relation 10 the organization and
incorporation Of religious societies II
is apparent that Joseph Smith and his
fellow members were amply cognizant
of the provisions OF the law on this
head, that a minimum of six members
was required 10 be In attendance 60
transact the business Of a religious
body
SIX. THE REQUIRED NUMBER.
Under the religious corporations law
OF the state OF New York. special pro-
visions are made for the incorporation
and government of Protestant Episco-
pal parishes or churches. as well as
for the Roman Catholic and Greek
churches. Reformed Dutch. Prcsby-
terian, Reformed Presbyterian and
Evangelical Lutheran churches. for
Baptist churches. for Congregational
and Independent churches, and for
churches of other denominations.
Under the law certificates OF inCor-
poration in the Roman or Greek
churches must be made by the arch
bishop or bishop, the vicar general Of
the diocese, the rector of the church
and two laymou. For the Reformed
Dutch and Reformed Presbyterian
churches, the ministers, elders and
deacons are required to certify the or

ganizaton or Incorporation Of these
churches The provision governing the
Baptist denomination specifically states
that six members shall be necessary
to constitute a quorum for the trans
action OF business Of organization or
Incorporation. and the same Is true Of
the provisions relating 90 the incorpor-
alton Of the Congregational. indie
pendent and churches Of other demon
nations
II was doubtless i'm conformity with
this seemingly then well known pro
vision Of law specifying the number of
members necessary IN the organization
Of the Church to make the proceeding
legal, that six Of the nine persons bap-
tized prior to April were gathered
az the Whitmer home for the orgsuiza-
ton of the Church. The section Of the
New York statutes bearing upon this
subject is Sec 81 of Art. VII OF the
religious corporations law, which pro-
viles as follows:
"Noticc of meeting for incorporation

of Incorporating an unincorporated
