DC 107:46c and a commandment I give unto you that you should fill all these offices and approve of those names which I have mentioned, or else
disapprove of them, at my General Conference, and that ye should prepare rooms for all these offices in my house when you build it unto my name, saith the Lord your God. Even so. Amen.
DC 121:2b President Joseph Smith replied: "The voice of the Spirit is that E.C. Briggs be sustained for the present. J.W. Briggs and Z.H. Gurley are in your hands, to approve or
disapprove as wisdom may direct. Be merciful, for to him that is merciful shall mercy be shown."
