The United State Governmet has taken a stand &amp; passed Laws to destroy the Latter day Saints upon the subject of poligamy or Patriarchal order of Marriage. And after Praying to the Lord &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp; feeling inspired by his spirit&#039;&#039;&#039; I have issued the following Proclamation which is sustaind by My Councillors and the 12 Apostles.”<br /> <br /> Thus, anyone denying that Woodruff had a revelation must either not believe in God, not believe in the Latter-day Saint God, or just believe that Woodruff was lying in the case of fundamentalists.<br /> <br /> [[File:Polygamy screenshot better.png]]<br /> <br /> {{endnotes sources}}</div>
