Oleen N. Stohl, letter to JFS, 11 June 1913
Wilford Woodruff, Diary, extract, 15 May 1894, concerning the termination of adoptions: "The duty that I want every man who presides over a temple to see performed from this day henceforth and forever, unless the Lord Almighty commands otherwise, is, let every man be adopted to his father. When a man receives the endowments, adopt him to his father; not to Wilford Woodruff, nor to any other man outside the lineage of his father. This is the will of God to this people."
