and the Presidents of Stakes. Remarks were made by President
Taylor then the Revelation was read. G. Q. Cannon spoke to
us and said how can we teach the people any Law or principle
that we do not keep ourselves. Joseph F Smith spoke upon
several subjects upon the Patriarchal order of marriage
President Taylor told what Joseph Smith said to him
upon that subject & said if we do not Embrace that principle
soon the Keys will be turned against us for if we do not
keep the same law that our Heavenly Father has we cannot
go with him. The word of the Lord to us was that if we did
not obey that Law we could not go whare our Heavenly Father

Letter from Moses Franklin Farnsworth, 14 October 1882
St. George . Prest Wilford Woodruff, My Dear Brother. Although I have not written to you for a few weeks. Yet I have not forgotten you, but seemingly I have hardly had the time, and as I knew Bros McAllister and Bleak were writing, they have given you all the news. I have nothing special of a local nature. myself and family are well as usual. We are trying to live the Gospel and have peace at home. We feel thankful for all the blessings we enjoy, and desire to labor to do good all the days of our lives.
