Also in every city a Local Spiritual Assembly (which will in due time evolve into a local House of Justice) is prayerfully elected every year and that body of nine individuals takes counsel together “to choose that which is meet and seemly.” [140] The measure of that which is meet and seemly is the principle of divine justice which is “the crowning distinction of all Local and National Assemblies, in their capacity as forerunners of the Universal House of Justice.” [141] “The purpose of justice is the appearance of unity among men. . . The organization of the world and the tranquillity of mankind depend upon it." [142]
