Spent Christmas at home. The times bet. my arrival home & Jan. 7th I have been in council with my quorum considering various matters which came before us.

Where men are in prominence in the Church who have taken plural wives since Prest. [Wilford] Woodruff manifesto should be removed where it can be done without giving unnecessary offence. (Anthony W. Ivins, Journal, December 20, 1910, in Cowboy Apostle: The Diaries of Anthony W. Ivins, 1875-1932, ed. Elizabeth Oberdick Anderson [Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 2013], 485-86)
