[James E. Talmage] Had interview with the First Presidency on a matter which has been under informal consideration for some time, viz: that of preparing a revised edition of the "Pearl of Great Price," one of the standard works of the Church. I was appointed today to prepare the same, the text to be divided into paragraphs or verses, with references. I undertake this as I have attempted other labors in connection with church work, in a missionary spirit without hope or expectation of reward. Indeed I doubt that I will be known as the reviser even if the work be completed, and a revised edition published.
