The Foul Biol Sot Yet Entirely F.f.
Ifuced, But, Cnticer-llko, Is Eating
Into the Vitals ol Our Govern
ment. What a Missionary
Knows A Lout It.
It was an interested and appreciative
audience that listened to Miss Nellie
Dunham talk on Mormonism in the
Presbyterian church on Sabbath evening,
July II.
Miss Dunham has been a missionary
in Utah Tour years and expects to return
to the work she loves by the first of Sep
tember. To those of hor audience who
wore inclined to boliove that the worst
crimp or the Mormon church was its
practice or polygamy, what Miss Dun
ham had to say was a revelation. Miss
Dunham camo, she said, not to tell what
others knew about Mormonism, but
what slio horseir had learned through
her work.
Mormons believe that their church is
the only church. They say that all other
churches are good enough as far as they
go, but that they themselves have later
revelations, and when challenged about
their breaking any of thecommandments
of that lliblo they say, "Yes, that was
true then, but we have a later revela
tion." Tnej' have no conscience regarding the
moral law, and believe they are all the
bettor if they can cheat a Gentile, (which,
in Utah, means anyone who is not a mor
mon) for by this means they will have
all tho more money to give to the Mor
mon church. All that is required of a
good Mormon is to pay his titho, or tho
ono-tenlh of all his income to the church.
They boliove God is a man just as all
men are; that Adam is the god of this
world and that all men are gods alter
death; that the more wives a man has
the greater will lie his kingdom in the
other world ; that there is no salvation
for a woman mi loss sho be uiarr.ed, iu
order that hor husband raise her endow
ment vail from off her fece and repeat
the mystical name which is to be hers in
eternity, whispered to her while on her
way through the temple during her mar
riage service, at the resurrection. In
this way the husband exacts obedience
of his wires, threatening, if they do not
obey, to let their bodies lie forever in the
ground. With them there in a possibility
of an unmarried woman bei g saved,
providing tome man marry her by proxv
in the temple.
Mormonism teaches that Jesus Christ
Is a prophot just as Moses was a prophet
of Old Testament history ; that the wo
men mentioned in the Bible in connec
tion witli his work were his wives. It
also teaches that Josoph Smith was a
prophet whose teachings should be obey
ed more strictly than either of tho Bible
characters just mentioned. Moruions
hold to the "book of Mormon,'' written
by Joseph Smith, and preach from it.
They do not like to be called Mormons,
hut call tliomsoles "The Church of Jesus
Christ of Later Day Saiuts." They revel
in large names, many of their stores be
ing called after names and combination
of names of bible characters. Over one
saloon in Salt Lake City is seen, "Holi
ness unto the Lord."
One feature of their religion which is
very convenient to tho heads of their
church is their revelations. At one time
ltringham Young had a revelation Mit
no pork was to be eaten or hogs to be
kept by Mormon people. Out of the
kindness (?) of his heart, he told them he
would pay them a small sum for their
hogs rather than to have thorn lose them
entirely. He did so, and in two or three
years he had another revelation that pork
should be eaten and to accommodate the
people, he had a iarge number of hogs to
sell at a handsome price.
Mormon missionaries are to bo found
in every state in tho union. These mis
sionaries do not go out from pure love or
devotion to the work, but if one is found
weak in the faith, or another is holding a
position in the church, coveted by a Bish
op's son, some person has a revelation
ttiat these men are to bo sent on a mis
sion. The church commands and they
obey, f art'ul lest their lives bo sacrificed
for their disobedience, for the Mormon
believes in blood atonement. Tliut is. it
any Mormon renounces the faith, or if
anyone is thought to be an enemy to
Mormonism, his throat is cut from ear to
ear to atono for Ids sins providing this
can be done secretly. Missionaries are
also sent to foreimi countries where they
cunningly deceive hundreds of the peas
ant class who believo Utah is truly aland
"flowing with milk and honey," till it is
too late.
When these people reach Utah they are
told that because there are so many pick
pockets they must give their money to
the church officers. Thoy are then sent
to remote districts where they are kept
in grossest ignorance of all that is good
and lovely in this "land of the free." The
Book of Mormon is tuught iu their
schools us tho history of the United
States. No pupor is ever allowed to en
ter their homes except their Mormon
church papers. Members of the Mor
mon church have lieen "put out of the
church" because they subscribed for one
of tho Salt Lake papers, hoping to learn
what was going on in the world.
Tourists visiting Utah see nothing of
the darker side of Mormon life. Every
attention possible is given them by the
Morinan people. The bestol everything
is brought forward, the loveliest homes
opened and receptions held fur the
"strangers within their gules," and these
pooplo go away with a good impression
of Mormons aud their religion, if such
it may bo called, so much so that some
havo even denied what our missionaries
have told of the darker side kept ill the
background.
Mm monism is not a friend to our Re
public, ami it is believed by those who
know most about allairs in Utah, that it
was a grave mistake that l lali ever be
came a s'ute. She is now out of direct
control of the government ot the Cnited
States and is now under control of tiie
Mormons. It is impossible for a (ieiitile
to secure justice iu tiie Utah courts, un
less, for political reasons, the Mormon
church is to gain by it. i here is only
ono power of tho t inted Slates in Uiuh
that tho Mormon people respect, and that
is tiie standing army at Ft. Douulass that
overlooks Salt Luke City, and Miss Dun
ham expressed the wish that this lort
would never be removed from Utah so
long us Mormonism husany power there.
The Mormon people havo no regard
for our national holidavs ai d celebrate
the 21th of July iuslesii ol the 4th., to
keep ill memory the day when the lirst
Mormons lauded ill Utali. on the -llh
of J illy alter tho edict prohibiting polyg
amy was passed, the tinted .Suites ilag
was trailed iu tlio ilust till an order was
soul from Ft. Douglas commanding that
that llug lie laised imiucdiuicl.v, or the
gnus would bo lircd into tho Temple. So
many and dread In I have been the upris
ings against the ioverninenl, that the
guns urn always kept pointing Inwards
the Temple, w hieh is to the Mormon a
sacred building.
Modern I'lah is ambitious. .Mormon
isni now holds the balance ot' power in
Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado. Those
states, .w ith I'lah, can tip the scales in
Nat ional allairs, but thev plan for more.
It only requires 3,nno Muriuous in Ari
zona to hold tho power there, and with
this in view, that number is now being
sent from t'tah, the head centre of Mor
luonisiii. In strict accord w ith tin teach
ings of the liook ol Mormon, these peo
ple are koi ping silent till they feel they
ure strong enough to carry their point to
the United hlati s Senate.
And thus is working silently, though
none the less ellceiuall.v , an euciny that
seeks to undermine the i .o eminent of
our ow ii land, and place it in a set vi'.ude
worse than the despotism of any know u
monarch v.
