Scope and Contents

George Reynolds, secretary to the First Presidency, letter to Ben E. Rich, 11 March 1899, says: "If an Elder feels that he has just cause and is moved upon by the Spirit of God to wash his feet against a person or persons who have violently or wickedly rejected the truth, let him do so quietly and beyond noting it in his journal let him not make it public. Nothing should be published in the Southern Star or else-where on this subject. Elders should be privately instructed and should let the matter rest between them, the Lord, and the persons concerned."
