Pacific Ensign on Divine Law and Popular Vote

The Pacific Ensign says:—

“Rev. C. H. Mead thinks that God did not say to Moses, ‘Take down the commandments and submit them to a vote of the people.’ Any party that does it writes its death knell in letters of living fire.”

Neither did God relegate his authority to the people nor to any civil power. He has given them in this dispensation neither the authority to enforce nor the power to change the law of God. Any party that attempts to do it writes its death knell in letters of living fire.
