DC 118:1b Ye can not now
prosecute missions in many foreign lands, nor is it expedient that the elders of the first quorums be sent out of the land of America until the work of the reorganization of my church be more fully established, and a greater unity of understanding between them be obtained.
DC 128:2b and these by their appointment are empowered to
prosecute the work of caring for and using such properties as are confided to their care to accomplish the end designed.
