As far as I can see things here work at the whims of men
I hear ya talkin'!
Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriages,
which laws have been pronounced constitutional by the court of last resort,
I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws,
and to use my influence with the members of the Church
over which I preside to have them do likewise.
Wilford Woodruff
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
