Identifier: I

Scope and Contents

"I had a conversation with Bro. [Lorenzo] Snow about various doctrines. Bro. Snow said I would live to see the time when brothers and sisters would marry each other in this church. All our horror at such a union was due entirely to prejudice, and the offspring of such unions would be as healthy and pure as any other These were the decided views of Pres. [Brigham] Young when alive, for Bro. S[now] talked to him freely on this matter."
