Abstract

A short excerpt of proceedings from the Sixty-first Semi-annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The excerpted material concerns the Manifesto issued by President Wilford Woodruff, now included in the Doctrine and Covenants as Official Declaration 1, leading to the cessation of the practice of plural marriage by the Latter-day Saints. This includes some brief preliminary comments by Elder Franklin D. Richards, the reading of the Manifesto, as well as two talks following by President George Q. Cannon and President Wilford Woodruff.
