President Joseph F. Smith’s "Second Manifesto"
Contains President Joseph F. Smith’s statement affirming Wilford Woodruff’s 1890 declaration that Latter-day Saints are to "refrain from contracting any marriage forbidden by the law of the land.”
President Smith’s statement includes consequences not contained in President Woodruff’s declaration:
