− | Woodruff [https://wilfordwoodruffpapers.org/documents/7ef08b17-80eb-431b-ad57-4d09b0497b7f/page/ea64cd01-57b5-4e19-b4d0-84b4e0e8ef41 wrote in his journal on September 25, 1890] that “I have arived at a point in the History of my life as the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints whare I am under the necessity of acting for the Temporal Salvation of the Church. The United State Governmet has taken a stand & passed Laws to destroy the Latter day Saints upon the subject of poligamy or Patriarchal order of Marriage. And after Praying to the Lord '''& feeling inspired by his spirit''' I have issued the following Proclamation which is sustaind by My Councillors and the 12 Apostles.”
