Sustaining of General Authorities

I will now present to the conference the general authorities of the Church, and also the authorities of the auxiliary organizations, with such other officers as may properly be brought before this assembly, for your vote. It is expected that every Latter-day Saint in good standing will exercise his or her prerogative to vote for or against the names that may be presented. Of course, we do not expect any who are not members of the Church in good standing to take any part in this. ¶
