[Wilford Woodruff]
Joseph F Smith spoke One hour & 25 M. He spoke upon the Marriage in Cana at Galilee. He thought Jesus was the Bridgegroom and Mary & Martha the brides. He also refered to Luke 10 ch. 38 to 42 verse, Also John 11 ch. 2 & 5 vers John 12 Ch 3d vers, John 20 8 to 18. Joseph Smith spoke upon these passages to show that Mary & Martha manifested much Closer relationship than Merely A Believer which looks Consistet. He did not think that Jesus who decended throug Poligamous families from Abraham down & who fulfilled all the Law even baptism by immersion would have lived and died without being married.
W Woodruff Closed by saying He wished the Congregation to remember the discourse of Joseph F Smith but they need not attempt to preach the same sermon. ...
It has been said that the Law upon the Patriarchal order of Marriage has Caused more sorrow to the Daughters of Eve than any other Law Ever revealed to men. ...
