Article discusses an article written by Oliver Cowdery in 1835 regarding marriage. The RLDS claimed that the article, which says that single marriage is the will of the Lord, was actually a revelation received by Joseph Smith, which would vindicate their claim that Joseph did not teach plural marriage. The author discusses the background of the Oliver Cowdery article and why it was included in early editions of the Doctrine and Covenants (Joseph was away from the conference in which it was approved).
