In the minutes for the July 2, 1870 meeting of the Salt Lake School of the Prophets, we read the following comments which refute the myth that to qualify for exaltation, one must be a polygamist:
Elder Geo Q Cannon read the following ^several^ questions. are we to understand, on the subject of plural Marriage and ^was^ answered by Elder Prest. Geo A. Smith and Prest. B Young who said, to understand it require a ^clear^ perceptive mind, susceptible to the spirit of the Lord—A man thrown in circumstances where he cannot enjoy the blessing of Plurality [of wives] [and] yet [is] a firm believer in the doctrine—such a one will certainly not lose his exaltation. (Salt Lake School of the Prophets, 1867-1883 [ed. Devery S. Anderson; Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 2018], 100)
