We Cannot Condone Sin.

And it is for the Priesthood, the Presidents of Stakes, Bishops, Priests, Teachers and Deacons, to be governed by the law of God, and to see that there is no iniquity prevailing in the Church. and if there is it must be dealt with according to the law of God and not according to the notions and opinions of men. We have no right to condone this, and to change the other, and to think that we are going to save men, by permitting all kinds of iniquity to abound. It is the duty of those in authority to see things straightened out. Matters are sometimes allowed to go on to that extent, that hard feelings, division, contention and strife arise, and all this because Teachers, Bishops and others, do not do their duty. In our Bishops' Courts and in our High Councils, we must be governed by the law of God, and not by our notions and sympathies or anything of that kind. ......We must not be governed by sympathies. ......My sympathies in the case that I related were very strong. but I must not be governed by sympathies. I must be governed by the law of God.
