thissection lets us know that they are reveised form hurds revised statutes and Religious corporation act.many attempt
to say that the Prophet set up the temple in a way that placed the Temple outside the jurisdiction,of the state of Illinois,because
the Grand Body files reports to the secretary of state even after the incorporation M.S.T.A. July 20,1928 there is evidence
of this file 1900-972-6/ dated Feburuary of 1929 annual report of the Moorish Science Tempe of America Inc. to the Secretary
of of the state of Illinois.

the portion of the MSTA under the leadership of then leader C.Kirkman-Bey now under the leadership of R.Jones-Bey is no
diffrent than the MSTA that the Prophet set up.
thus we would not be able to use the litterature or any of the other artifacts of the Temple.
