Francis Michael Darter & Revelations of "No Enduring Value"

Discussion of "Latter-Day Revelations" a compendium of snippets of a few of the revelations in the doctrine and covenants, 95 of which were not included at all because they were labeled by the Heber J. Grant administration--who appointed the Darwinist (Geologist) James Talmadge--as of "no enduring value". Francis Michael Darter wrote his book, Zion's Redemption, to counter this apostasy, which was published by Deseret Book in 1933. It talks about "One Mighty and Strong" as a deliverer who should come to rescue the humble followers of Christ from the clutches of "these scornful men which rule my people":

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem.
Isa 28:15
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Isa 28:16
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation (the one mighty and strong, saith the Lord): he that believeth shall not make haste.

This little book of snippets was done to tamp down the rising furor over the 1886 Revelation to John Taylor and the advent of the "One Mighty and Strong". D&C 85, the prophecy of this advent was declared to be "of no enduring value". The furor only increased, however, so that Grant retreated from this venture of destroying the work of the Lord. Van Hale called in and demonstrated the myopia which characterizes cultish Mormons who follow blindly and who at heart are Darwinists, with the outward trappings of the habiliments of the Priesthood.
