[Apostle Anthony W. Ivins Diary] The time between my arrival home & Jan. 7th I have been in council with my quorum considering various matters which came before us. The question of plural marriages was discussed & it was decided that in cases where plural marriages were entered into prior to 1904 the parties to such marriages shouldn't be molested unless they be cases where the interests of the Church are involved. Where men are in prominence in the Church who have taken plural wives since Pres. Woodruff manifesto (they) be removed where it can be done without giving unnecessary offence. (1)
