		The document was drafted, undoubtedly with assistance from other church writers, and sent by telegram to Utah delegate to Congress, John T. Caine, to disseminate among the congressmen and to the newspapers in the East.
		The Manifesto denied most of the allegations of recent plural marriages and affirmed the church president's intention to influence fellow members to obey the law of the land.
		Mormons who have not accepted the Manifesto as a binding revelation and who openly advocate the practice of polygamy have been subject to church disciplinary action.

		As he explained to Church members a year later, the choice was between, on the one hand, continuing to practice plural marriage and thereby losing the temples, "stopping all the ordinances therein," and, on the other, ceasing plural marriage in order to continue performing the essential ordinances for the living and the dead.
		On October 6, 1890, it was presented to the Latter-day Saints at the General Conference and approved.
		The Manifesto of 1890 should be regarded as a pivotal event in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and of the state of Utah.

		The Manifesto of 1890 was a proclamation by Church President Wilford Woodruff that the Church had discontinued plural marriage.
		The Manifesto was issued as a press release that followed President Woodruff's revelatory experiences.
		A limited number of unauthorized plural marriages were performed over the next several years until the First Presidency, in 1904, issued a second manifesto that emphatically prohibited plural marriage and proclaimed that offenders would be subject to Church discipline, including excommunication.

	What Was the 1890 Manifesto?
		Then in 1890, the Manifesto was issued by the Church President and the "one" man who held the sealing keys, Wilford Woodruff.
		It appears the the 1890 Manifesto and the 1904 "Second Manifesto" were dividing lines, defining the boundaries as "God commanded His people" (Jacob 2:30) regarding the types of marriages relationships they should seek.
		However a question arises: “Did Church leaders teach that the 1890 Manifesto was a commandment from the Lord to stop polygamy?” The answer is, “no.” The actions of the “one” man holding the sealing keys demonstrate that the Manifesto simply removed the commandment.

		On 30 September 1890, during the first discussion of the Manifesto by the full Quorum of Twelve and after its publication, he referred and told the Apostles about the 1886 revelation to his father, that plural marriages should never be discontinued.

		Fundamentalists generally concede that the Manifesto was issued by the "one" anointed and appointed who held the Keys of the Sealing Power and who was President of the High Priesthood, but they submit that it was not inspired and therefore is not truly binding on the Saints.
		The Manifesto was a "covenant with death and hell, a fulfillment of Isaiah 28:15.
		In September, 1890, the present head of the Church, in anguish and prayer, cried to God for help for his flock, and received permission to advise the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that the law commanding polygamy was henceforth suspended.

	Post-manifesto Mormon Polygamy
		The second of the three apostles who approved the Manifesto prior to publication was Marriner W. Merrill, the Logan Temple president who married a plural wife in July 1889 in that temple and who had performed several other plural marriages there from July to October 1889.
		Of the nine apostles present, two said that they were bewildered by the announcement (one referred to the 1886 and 1889 revelations that seemed to prohibit such a declaration), and of the seven apostles who announced their support, four specifically stated that they understood it to apply only to the United States.
		For both the hierarchy and the general membership of the LDS Church, the Manifesto inaugurated an ambiguous era in the practice of plural marriage rivaled only by the status of polygamy during the lifetime of Joseph Smith.

	CHAPTER 21 TRUTH AND MISTRUTH IN MORMON HISTORY
		The use of mistruth by men who would otherwise count anything but strictest honesty a serious ethical infraction is one of the things that has persuaded me of the extraordinary importance of polygamy in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century church—a significance quite forgotten by most Mormons today.
		In the first place, however grand the principle in which the service of mistruth is placed, it becomes an example to others, including young people, to alter what they know to be the truth when they think it justified to do so.
		By giving the appearance of abandoning polygamy, by appointing monogamists to conspicuous Church positions and by denying that any plural marriages were being performed, the leaders quickly convinced the majority of Church members that plurality was indeed a thing of the past.

		For most writers and commentators about the Manifesto, the answer to that question is so obvious that they find it unnecessary to go beyond identifying the document as Wilford Woodruff’s Manifesto.

		In addition, I explored how the families adjusted to the end of official polygamy after the 1890 Manifesto, including whether or not family relationships continued to exist and how the rest of the community perceived the polygamists.
		The 1890 Manifesto issued by the Church officially ended the distinctive practice of polygamy, but members of the community found it difficult to abandon.
		Between 1890 and 1920, the community underwent profound changes that led to a restructuring of relationships within the community and with the outside.

	XVII The New Polygamy
		In the old days of Mormonism-and as late as the anti-polygamous manifesto of 1890-the whole aim and effort of the Church was to exalt and sanctify and make pure the practice of plural marriage by means of the community's respect and the reverences of religion.
		But as the history of the Church shows, plural marriage was always a heavy cross to the Mormon women; many had refused to bear it, in the face of the frequent pulpit scoldings of the Prophets; and few did not sometime weep under it in the secrecy of their family life.
		In the days immediately preceding the manifesto of 1890, there was a general hope and longing among the Mormon mothers that God would permit a relief before their daughters and their sons should become of an age to be drafted into the ranks of polygamy.

	Anson Bowen Call; Post 1890 Manifesto Polygamist
		Most historical accounts of the issuance of the Manifesto portrayed those who took plural wives, while in self-exile in Canada and Mexico during 1890-1904, as diehards or out of harmony with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
		The Manifesto suggests a vague time period during the previous year (September 1889-September 1890), that no more marriages were being performed in the temples.
		If he had waited until the third wife died, in August 1904, the April 1904 Manifesto would have been declared and he would been restrained to be a monogamist for the remaining 54 years of his life.

	poly
		According to the Lord's law of marriage, it is lawful that a man have only one wife at a time, unless by revelation the Lord commands plurality of wives in the new and everlasting covenant.
		Later the Prophet and leading brethren were commanded to enter into the practice, which they did in all virtue and purity of heart despite the consequent animosity and prejudices of worldly people.
		In 1890, because of the enactment of laws forbidding this practice and because of the opposition on the part of all other people in the United States and throughout the so-called Christian world, the Lord instructed President Wilford Woodruff to call upon the members of the Church to discontinue the practice of plural marriage.

		The LDS conveniently ignores the fact that FLDS members refer to themselves as "Mormon fundamentalists." It is all part of LDS propaganda that attempts to hide the deep historical ties between the two branches of the same religion.
		Woodruff's declaration created a huge controversy within the LDS because it was seen by some members as a direct challenge to the teachings of Joseph Smith and to his immediate successor and fellow polygamist, Brigham Young.
		Woodruff's manifesto accomplished the desired outcome: Utah's statehood was achieved in 1896, and the church survived without the LDS' deleting Section 132.
