Forced to make changes. All Governors and officers for the Moorish Science Temple are hereby congratulated for their past loyalty and fidelity, for I know it will be the same in the future. Because of certain incidents that have risen in some of the Temples which seem to come from the fact that there are those who do not know where the seat of power is vested, the Prophet has ordered the following to be published:
All Authority and power of the Moorish Science Temple of America is vested in the Prophet Noble Drew Ali and those whom he appoints to act as in the Supreme Body. The Prophet has the authority and power to expel any officer or member of the Moorish Science Temple of America who wilfully violates or refuses to comply with the rules in regard to branch Moorish Science Temple, and such suspensions and explusions shall stand until in the judgment of the Prophet, the members and officers shall have made satisfactory atonement. All such rules and regulations of the constitution shall be in writing and not at variance with any law of the city, town or nation which the Prophet shall declare a law.
During this session of the convention, all rules, regulations and laws of the constitution and such as might be enacted and ordered by the Prophet shall express and explain in detail, so there can be no doubt as to what is required of each and every officer or member of the organization.
The Prophet will positively not tolerate any interference with the operation of this National Divine Movement from any one.
By the Prophet
Noble Drew Ali
