"The
plan taught at the solemn assembly, … was that the seven High Priests
who were sent from Kirtland to build up Zion, viz.—Oliver Cowdery,
W. W. Phelps, John Whitmer, Algernon Sidney Gilbert, Bishop Partridge, and
his two counselors [Isaac Morley and John Corrill]—should stand at
the head of affairs relating to the Church, in that section of the Lord's
vineyard; and these seven men, with the common consent of the branches comprising
the Church were to appoint presiding Elders, to take the watchcare of the
several branches. … After a long discussion, it was decided from the
revelations, that the order taught in the solemn assembly was correct; and
that the Elders, when they arrived in Zion, were bound by the authorities
set in the Church, to be submissive to the powers that be." HC
1:335–336.
Assemblies were conducted by 5 high priests. ¶
