Smith paused for moment; but as

You must draw Il distinction between
COHdDlldtiOli anu DluIdI uldI-

regard to the Latter has been Obeyed.
No marriages have been performed
with the sanction. approval consent,
or cOnnivance of the church
or its officials. But the other law is
the one 1 have presumed to disregard,
and which, as / have said, am ready
to face rather than disgrace myself or
degrade members of my family by
turning them OF.

of your family not to MAINTAIN mar

faced Tayler and in low but pene-
trlting voice said: Il don't like TO he
but l should like you to

At that point Foraker and Beveridge

said it made no difference how many

"Have any of these men taken plu-

Smith bringing his hand down on the
table with some emphasis, that since
the manifesto OF 1896 no man has en-
tered into plural marriage with the
knowledge or approval OF the church.
When your deacons are sent out
and make conversions in other lands
30 they not present the rightfulness
of pOlygamY as religious virtue!
This question was put by IOar and
was answered in the negative. They
never discuss pOlygamy." Smith said,
unless compelled to do so to meet at
tacks. They do not advocate polygamy
in any way. Indeed. the elders are
instructed not to advocate plural mar
riages at all; it is Il thing of the past"

the church rot only in spiritual af-
fairs. but also i'll temporal things, be-
cause under the definitions of the

between the two.
Smith said that if SmOOt had insisted
on running for office without the con-
sent of his associates he would not
have lost his official position, but would
have been out OF harmony with the
twelve" In answer to questions by
Chairman burrows he declared he had
performed no pOlygamOuS marriages
since 1880 anywhere on earth. Dubois
asked if any of the apostles had per-
formed such a service and Smith said
if they had they would have been fined
and imprisoned if found guilty. and if
the charge could be proved the of
fender would be communicated.
