The church could not be perpetual
cd, declared the speaker. unless
there should be one here to stand In
the place of the Prophet Joseph to
whom the keys OF the. gospel were en-
trusted. "rhat one today" lie said.
lis President Joseph f. smith. and his
every word may be depended upon.
Everything In this Church must be
done In order and when any member
OF the Church nrrogates to himselt
any mower that would set ut nhught
z the order OF the Church, then Amen to
tle priesthood of that man, and to
! those who follow him.
There Is but one man on the eartn
today who holds the keys of marriage
Z and that man Is President Joseph +.
Smith. IfSany one exercises that pow.

prophet, his acts are void and he 1viil

1 ACTION TAKEN BY SAINTS.
8 ,The manifesto of President Wood
u ruff Is the word Of God unto the
1 Saints. When 1t was. given 1t simply
Il gave notice to the Saints that they
y need not enter into plural marriage
i the conference held in Salt Lake City
OIL the 9Th day of April 1904, made that
manifesto prohibitory.
1T is just as binding upon the peo-
pile Of the Church as any other law
and We want the Saints to know It,
Today there Is no man on the face of
the earth authorized to perform plural;
marriages. and We want that word
conveyed TO all the people. 1t Is the
true order of marriage. has been from
the beginning and will be to tho end,
It.. In ancient days this principle was
taken from the people OF God. when
! they showed that they could not prop
erly obey Its requirements, and today
that Is the condition. Some brethren
/ have been deceived as to this matter
/ and In turn have deceived others but
that must stop now. There is no ex-
cuse for any doubt. for the man who
holds the keys Is among us and he
may be consulted II any doubt shall
exist In the mind of any Saint.
FROM THE EVIL ONE.
Some men have done mischief that
they VIII not be able to undo and there
4 must be no more of II. Some men and
women have been In the fashion OF re-
cclving visions and dreams as to this
marriage question but they have all
come from satan-not from God-bc
assured Of that. for God speaks
through his mouthpiecc hero when he
mas anything to tell us"
UNANIMOUS VOTE.
When President Lyman had con-
Guided his remarks he asked the Saints
whether they approved OF the doctrine
Ne \, mad laid down, asking them to in
uicate It by saying Amen II they did
( approve i. There was an unao',rn,is
chorus of "Amens," ana not II dis
sentinng vote though the negative was
called for. AS said before the adj
hress ma,le a strong impression and
,as suprlanted everythin- s,so as a.
unic OF conversation today.
PRESIDENT Joseph Carbon submitted
