Francis Michael Darter and Revelations of "No Enduring Value"

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 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:

Isaiah 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: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Isaiah 28:17
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

Isaiah 28:18
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

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 (Latter-Day Revelation) was done to tamp down the rising furor over the 1886 Revelation to John Taylor and the advent of the "One Mighty and Strong" being at that time noised abroad among the people

 

Grant even lied in the Deseret News with the following notice: 

Heber J. Grant’s carefully worded denial that Frank and Nellie Taylor were referring: ‘‘It is alleged that on Sept. 26, 1886, President John Taylor received a revelation from the Lord, the purported text of which is given in a publication circulated apparently by or at the instance of this same organization. As to this pretended revelation it should be said that the archives contain no record of any such revelation, nor any evidence justifying a belief that any such revelation, nor any evidence justifying a belief that any such revelation was ever given.
From the personal knowledge of some of us, from the uniform and common recollection of the presiding quorums of the Church, from the absence in the Church Archives (it is in a vault in the First Presidency Office, not the Archives) of any evidence whatsoever justifying any belief that any such revelation was given, we are justified in affirming that no such revelation exists. Deseret News; June 17, 1933; p.4.


 

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.
