The preface to D&C 113 (= LDS D&C 135) in the Doctrine and Covenants for the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints reads:
The General Conference of 1896 gave serious consideration
to the question whether this section should be continued in the Doctrine and
Covenants. After debate, a resolution was adopted providing for its continued
publication with an appended explanation by the President of the church and the
Book of Publication. (Book of Doctrine and Covenants Remnant Edition [Marceline,
Miss.: Walsworth, 2022], 298)
The resolution reads thusly:
a. The succeeding sections were published by the
authority of the General Conference of September, 1878, held at Gallands Grove,
Iowa, as follows:
b. “WHEREAS, We accept the revelations heretofore given
to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, through the
present presiding officer thereof, as being the word of the Lord to his church,
equally with those published in the Book of Doctrine and Covenants; therefore
be it
c. “Resolved, that the revelations received by the
president of the church in 1861, 1863, and 1865, be received as from God,
authoritative and binding on us as a body; and in connection with the
revelation of 1873, that they be hereafter compiled with that book.”
d. Passed September 13, 1878. (Ibid., 301)
