The senior presidents of the other quorums, over and above the
sixty-four, may meet with the First Quorum in their assemblies in
any other than an official capacity; but in case of the absence of
any of the members of the First Quorum, they can act, in the place
of such members with the First Quorum during such absence, in any
cases of importance that may arise.
The headquarters of the different quorums, and the records thereof,
may be distributed throughout the various Wards and Stakes, under
the direction of the First Seven Presidents, as the number of the
Priesthood residing in such localities may seem to justify and any
vacancies that exist, either in the presidency or membership of
the different quorums may be filled by the ordination of persons
residing in the locality in which the respective quorums are
organized.
Any of the members or presidents of other quorums who are in good
standing may have the privilege of joining the quorum located in
the district in which they reside; but in such cases they should
first obtain a certificate as to their standing in the quorum from
which they desire to withdraw; to obtain which it would only be
necessary to procure a certificate of their good standing from the
Bishop of the Ward to which they belong, provided their names are
found upon the record of their quorum as in good standing.
The presidents of the quorums residing in the district where their
respective quorums are organized shall have a general supervision
of all the Seventies residing in their district.
In all cases where members of quorums are called in question, a
majority of their respective quorums will have jurisdiction in all
cases involving their standing in the quorum, but in case there
is not a majority residing in the district where the quorum is
organized, or in the case of scattered members, the members present
should investigate the matter and report their findings to the
First Seven Presidents. Any complaints regarding the presidents
of quorums should be made to the First Seven Presidents of the
Seventies, who may suspend such presidents, if their conduct
seem to justify it, pending the action of the First Quorum. Any
presidents or members from whom fellowship has been withdrawn
by the quorums, should be reported to the High Council having
jurisdiction.
The Seventies, when abroad, if anything should occur requiring
their supervision, in the absence of other authorities, may act
upon the case of any delinquent belonging to the Seventies, and
should report their decisions to the First Seven Presidents of the
Seventies.
