Head of Church Defies Law in Revelations Dispute
Washington March 7 Senator Doble challenged President Smiths claim that church and state laws were subordinate to revealed doctrine. Smith defended his stance while admitting personal defiance of both secular and church law, asserting loyalty to his families and the church. The exchange centered on Woodruffs manifesto against plural marriages and whether it was a revelation or political production under divine guidance. Bailey quoted the Lord giving and taking away as Smith questioned the logic, noting the church overrode law yet continued to justify practice.
