dent Joseph +. Smith, addressing 5000

God. As announced time and again at
these conferences. plural marriages have
ceased in the Church.
There 10 no man who IL authorized
10 perform a plural marriage. No man
and no woman have the authority To
have this ceremony performed for them
We have been doing all In our power
to stop this. We have been doing all
We can to trace the men who are per-
forming these ceremonies. II is hard
TO locate them. but when we do fnd
them we will deal with them.
with respect to the idea proposed by
some to induce the Congress OF the United
States 70 amend the Constitution % a. to
give the Federal Government the au-
thority 10 regulate plural marriage. 90
far az am concerned have no objection
whatever to such an amendment. Let
the States petition the nation TO regulate
the whole subject OF marriage in the
United States and II will be godsend to
the people everywhere"
President Smith however. said that he
did not intend in these structures on
plural marriage TO prevent the regulation
respecting the cases Of plural marriage
