Latter Day Saints are also often re-
preached for being governed by the
commands of a leader or prophet, But
this is mis-statement; this church
believes the power and authority Of
all just government rests upon the
consent Of the governed; and there is
no church nor sect in Christendom
that displays more latitude in the
principals of common consent than
does the L. D. s, church. Before
