P - | | discipline, THE BOOK OF MORMON, How it Was Patched Up to Suit the Plans and Passions of Brighim Yonug. AlChapteron the Reorganized Church of Jesus Ohrist of Latter Day Saints, the Editor of Tue Ber, T e are two kinds or Mormonism. There is the genuine and the counterfeit and sometimes the one is confounded with the other. Now than both parties may be set right before the people is the pur. pose of this article, The church of J of Latter Day Saints was organized in the year 1830 by Joseph Smith with six mem bers. ¥ It was built upon well defined prinsi- ples, namely the Bible, Book of Mormon and Book of Dooctrine and Covenants, These books were accepted by them at that time as the standard of their faith, The last two named books condemns polygamy in stronger terms than the Bible; indeep they contain nothing but principles of virtue and purity. It was said that the Book of Mormon contained the fullness of the gospel, while the book of doctrine and covenants contamns the These books will not admit of any change or Ameadments from the fact that it wa lared that in thom was contained sufticient toestablish tho church and was to . uain in force until Christ come, And ¢ ain it was said that nothing should be appointed unto any one in the church contrary to the churcharticles and covenants, and they were com: ded to observe and do these things, The elders went forth and taught the things contain- ed in these books, and in fourteen the church grew in numbers to ove 000 souls, at which time Joseph was killed. At that time the church was scattered and broke up into factions, one of which Brigham Young led into Utah which faction numbered about 15,000. Here he assumed the leadership and claimed to be the the successor to Joseph Smith contrary to the law governing the church, The law provided for a successor, showing what his duties were and what his qualifications should be. His duties were to teach those laws that had been given to the church, polygamy was not taught therein, He was to be cvdained by the hand of Joseph Smith; he was to be of the seed of Joseph Smith, all of which the law pro- vided for. Brigham Young did not pos- sess one of these qualifications. He set aside the book and taught that they were not worth the ashes of a rye straw; that they had grown out of them,and that the books were only a dead letter, as they had the living oracles through him, and that all the people had to do was to follow their file leaders and do what they were told and he would lead them into the colestial kingdom. It is from here we 18 Christ mith x LAMTITOINVA L [ inNasEN'® IFwEInY =« OMAHA, MONDAY, 3 AT b o0 e e e et T Gl e ok o 106 1 e, et cvmtision] | | Desert Nows of Salt Lake that he had a | & revelation that had been given Joseph | Smith, July, 1843, and that he had kept | it securely locked up until that time | He, however, confessed that ho had not the original, but only a copy. The origi- nal he said, 1 been destroyed by Joseph's wife, Mrs. Smith declared until her last hour that she never saw or heard of any such paper or revelation, Nor has Taylor nor any of the leaders pretended that they ever saw the origi nal, nor oven the copy until Brigham Young brought it out of his desk; and moreover, this pretended revelation is in | direct opposition to the Book of Mormon, for we have seen that that it forbids polygamy, and furthermore, the leaders of th ch in Utah have claimed all the time and claim today that up to July 12, 1843, polygamy was a crime and was forbidden by the Almighty. And to make the matter worse, Brigham Young, after trying to palm off this revelation, declared in a speech delivered in Salt Lake City in 1874, that the doctrine of polygamy was revealed to him in Eng- land in 1839, Joseph Smith never taught that the saints should gather to Utah, This, too, was conceived in the brain of Brigham You nd his fellows after Smith’s death. Joseph Smith looked upon Brigham Young as a dangerous man, It is a well known fact that he said that if Brigham ever led tke church he would lead it to hell. 8o whethet Smith was a prophet or not, this has been fulfilled. There was aspiring men in the church at that time who sought for power, and Brigham was one of the greatest aspirants the world over knew. Brigham not only led the people away from the land whero Joseph taught Zion was to be built, but Qeparted from the laws the church was founded upon. The Utah leaders act- ually taught that they would build up an independant government, and thereby overpower tho United States, Joseph Smith taught loyalty to the government, The books of the church declare that they that keep the law of iod have no need to break the law of land, and that the church should be sub- joot to the powers that be until Chbrist comes to reig There was a large nunber who refused to follow Brigham Young, but stayed behind, wait- ing for the one that was chosen by Joseph to be his successor The church was re- organized under the presidency of Joseph Smith, the legal successor, -who made proclamation to the church scattered abroad to return to the old paths. Said church became an incorporated body under the laws of the state of Illinois and bears the name of the reorganized church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and stands upon the same platform as did the original church, and because of this it was declared to be the true and lawful continuation of and successor to said original church by the court of common pleas in Lake Co., Ohio, in a suit brought by the ireorganized church for the quiet- ing of the title to the Kirtland temple, (the Utah church claiming to be in pos- session of the same,)and the court further said that the reorganized church was en- titled to all property held in that name. They stand on the records in Washington as a religious organization distinct from that in Utah. They have representatives trace these abominable doctrines,namely: That Father Adam is God and blood atonement (which includes the death enalty for apostacy) and polygamy, 'hese monstrous doctrines are included in Washington rendering valuable aid in adopting measures to put down the abom- niation inUtah. There are many branches of the reorganized church in every part of the land from Europe to California in mock revelation of Brigham Young” |aud were the first to send missionaries ascribed to Joseph Smith, but which was | to Utah through whose efforts thousands never traced back to him and indeed can | Were lead torenouncethe doctrines taught not by any rule of evidence admissable in a court of law orequity. In so far as polygamy 18 concerned, its first connee- tion with the Mormon §a traceable to one Udny R. Jacobs, who was an elder of the church, who wrote a pamphlet in 1843 in which he discoursed on polygamy, defending it from the Old Testament scriptures, Joseph Smith, before the con- gregation and elsewhere,emphatically and unmistakably condemned ,this pamphlet and its doctrines as he did also the liber- tinism of John C. Bennett and others who were expelled from tne church on that account. Polygamy is not a part of Mormonism from the fact that the books of the church declare against it, as a few quotations will show. On page 116, ook of Mormon we read that ‘“‘David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was an abomi- nation in the sight of the Lord,” on page 117, Book of Mormon, the people were commended ‘‘to have but one wife, concubines they should have none,” in the Book of Doctrine and Covenants, ]m%o 142, we read, ‘‘thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart and cleave unto her and none else,” on page 161 Doctrine and Covenants, ‘‘And again Isay unto you that who forbiddeth to marry is not ordained of God, for marriage is ordained of God unto Man, wherefore it is lawful that he should have one wife and they twain shall be one flesh and all this that the earth might answer the end there. They have a number of branches establishe@ithere with a church building in Salt Lal City; costing seveEal thousand dollaia. g Py Théy have done incre towards solving the Mormon question than any other organization in existence and intend to pound away until the thing falls, and the name of primitive Mormonism is redeem- ed, which can not come too soon to suit the reorganized church, for they have suffered more from that accursed thing than any other people in the world. We say God speed the time when truth shall triumph over all error. Jusrice, — SNUBBED AND INSULTED. Congressman John Finerty Expresscs Himself Freely Regarding O'Don- nell and Our Foreign Policy, WasniNeron, December 16,—Con. gressman John Finerty expresses him- solf freoly regarding the probable exscu- tion of O'Donnell to-morrow. He says he has called on the president regarding the case, but obtained no satisfaction be- yond the assurance that action had been taken and the result would be arinounced through the state department when the reply was received from England. The president did not express an opinion, Finerty said, but was courteous as usual, of its creation and that it might be filled with the measure of man.” Wo see by this that the earth was to, answer the end of its ¢reation and be iled with the measure of man by him having one wife, John Taylor, now although he appeared rather serious and somewhat anxious. Mr. Finerty sayc: *‘In case O'Donnell is hanged Monday it will be a snub to the United States, The houre by reso- lution requested the president to ask a rvespite.

Again, “inasmuch as this church of Christ has been reproached with the crime of fornication unr polygamy, we declare that we believe that one man should have one wife and one woman but one husband, except iu the case of death, when either are at liberty to warry again,” Then A%, Maylor said, ““These are our views on mavriage.’” E This i3 found in Orson Pratt's works, p. 8. Brigham Young was the author of that document on polygamy from his own testimony, in The Desert Ne polyg- amous journal, of 1874, he says that the principal of polygamy was revealed to him while on a mission to l-lni(luud in B30 and upon his return in 1841 he gonversed with Joseph Smith upon the subject who at that time knew nothing about it, 'l_‘ha next year, 1842, finds thy thing being practiced by B.

Bavrmvore, Md., Dec. 10.—[Special. ] —Henry R. Hammond, of Petersburg, Va., and Frank J. Hellen, of Uniontown, Pa., both about 22 years of age, were deeply in love with Miss Fannie Zimmer- man, daughter of a retired builder of this city. The young woman became engaged About a year ago Miss Fannie went to Cincinnati, and th7 o met Hellen. It was a case of 107 nt first sight and the girl becary,,, engaged to him. Plwever, continued to pay her ationtions. Hellen, to bring matters to a climax, arranged for a private mar- riage today. This morning when he called to claim his bride Hammond was there to claim her also. The young lady and Hellen started out and Hammond dogged their footsteps, doclaring they should not marry. Finally they called a carriage, jumped in drove to the court clerk’s office, got a license, went to the parsonage of the Rev. Henry E. Johnson, were married, and were about to drive away when another carriage came up and they discovered Hammond, apparently in a great rage. Hammond was arrested, fined, and released. The happy couple drove to the Eutaw hotel where they are to-night, Hammond has challenged Hellen to fight a duel. ——— - Ave you Billious?
