Transcription

Orson Hyde spoke on Polygamy, gave some arguments, rather strange—if true, to the missionaries which they might use in the world. The original order seemed to be one man & one woman,—Adam & Eve, they had corrupted themselves & had not multiplied in purity[,] did not do as God required of them and he had a right to institute another order to hasten his work, that his feast might be full of guests.
