President Young spoke 47 Minuts In speaking of giving
divorces, He said when he sealed a woman to a man he asked
nothing for it but if they asked for a divorce I charge him
$10 for his folly for it is no better than a peace of white Paper
for when I seal a woman to a man it takes a higher power
then I am to take her away Some women say I do not want to
live with my Husband in Eternity they need not trouble themselves
about it for she will not ^be^ troubled with him in Eternity unless
he keeps the commandments of God & if He goes to the Celestial
Kingdom & she is not worthy of it, she will not be troubled with
him for she will not go there. One man will say I do not want
to go to heaven if such a man goes, but no one need be troubled
about such matters for they will not go to Heaven themselves unless
they are worthy & they will not meet any one there that is not
worthy. W Woodruff followed spoke 15 Minuts
