DC 124:Intro SECTION 124
Revelation given through Joseph Smith III at Lamoni, Iowa, April 1897. The Twelve had renewed their request of 1894 for direction concerning the calling and responsibilities of patriarch-evangelists. They and the church in general were also anxious that the presiding quorums should be more nearly filled. Temporary
completion of the First Presidency and more permanent
completion of the Quorum of Twelve were authorized in this revelation.
This was the first time that the Twelve had been filled since the Reorganization.
DC 127:3 There should also be a home for children established, and the efforts of the Daughters of Zion should be approved and carried unto
completion as soon as is consistent with the necessary demands of the work of the church in other directions.
DC 128:7e Under the provisions of the laws these organizations or associations must be instituted and carried to
completion if they shall be of benefit to those who shall be engaged in them.
