[Apostle Heber J. Grant Diary] F D Richards ... In his opinion wars are necessary for the establishing of Gods work in the land (referred to American Revolution, Civil War opened South to missionary work, Franco-Prussion had Germany) ... [Lorenzo Snow:] When we were in great trouble over plural marriages Pres[iden]t Woodruffs' counselors desired him to go and ask the mind and will of the Lord and he had done so and the result was that the Manifesto was given to Pres[iden]t Woodruff. But for the Lord giving to us His mind and will Pres[iden]t Snow said he was sure the saints would have felt like going on practicing plural marriages and suffering the consequences. The Lord many times reveals things that we cannot explain and at the time do not understand.
