Scope and Contents

Rudger Clawson: "I do not want my sons to see me go back on my family so that when I die it shall be said of me that I have gone back on a principle. I am aware of the feeling growing among the people that plural families are unpopular. They are growing less.... This principle will never be taken from the earth. There were many a first wife who rejoiced at the manifesto. There was on the other [hand] many who grieved and were afflicted. There are some who think the church is going back upon the principle [polygamy]. I tell them this is not so."
