At last.on• the third day, they•cartie to a fer

My friend Dr. Bernhisell, M. took 00.
this afternoon, by appointment; . . to meet Brig
ham Yoing, President-of :the Mormon Church,'
who had expressed a williiignesie receive me
at two P. M.. We. were very Cordially welt**•
edit the door by the President, who led os lotto
the seiondstory parlor . of the largest of his
houses (he has three,) where I was , introdieed
to Herber C. Kimball, Gen. Virelle, lemma,
'Albert. Carrington, F.lias• Smith -and eioriest
Other leading men in the Church; with two foll
grown ions of the President. After some Unita
portant conversatien on general topics, I stated
that 1 had .come in quest of , fuller knowledge re
specting the doctrines and polity' of the Mai;
mon Church; and would like to ask some spar
dons bearing directly on these, if there were no
objection. President Young avowed hie
lininess`,to reapond to all the , pertinent inqui
riesolie conversation proceeding tiubstantMlly
H. G.—Am Ito regard Mormonism (atkeall
ed) tica new religion, or simply a new develop
ment of Christianity? . • .
B. Y.-We hold that there can be no trite
Christian Church virithOut priesthciod direct
ly commissioned by and in immediate Commu
nication with the Son of God and . Saviour of
mankind Such a churcb is
.that of the Latter-,
'day Saints,•called by their enemies Mormonsii
we 'know no other that, pretends io haVe - presebt
and direct revelations•of God's will.
• H. G.—Then I' arn to understand that you
regard all.other 'churches profe.sing to ; be Chris-'•
ian as the Church of Rome regards all churches
not in communion with itself—at schismatic,
heretical, and out of , the way of salvation?
B. Y.—Yes, substantially. , ; •;,
G.—Apart from this, in what respect do
your doctridis ;filler essentially from those of
obr Orthodox Piotestant Churches 7 ,the Baptist
or Meth'odist,'for example? ~
B. 17.—We bold the doctrines of . Chriatiani
ty,as revealed in the. Old and New Testa_
ments—also in the . .Book of Mormon,. which
teaches the same .cardinal truths, and those
. .
H. G. 7 .---Do you believe .in the doctrine of the
. .
.
• B. Y.-We do but not exactly as itis held
by other churches.. We believe in the Father,
the'San and Holy Ghost, as eqUal—uot as 'one
person "[being.] We .believe in all • the' Bible
c
teaches on this su b ject. ' • . • • •
H..0.--Do you helieve,in a, personal devil—
a aonsciotis, apiritual'being,ivhoserm- .
tuie and . acts are essentially malignant and
you -hold the :doctrine of eternal
punishmenti • • • : •
.•
B. Y.—We do; though perhaps not exactly as
Other churches•. do : We believe it as the Bible
teaches it. , • .
G.—l Understand that you regard baptism
by. immersion as essential.• "
H. p.—DO you practise infant baptism?
B.Y.—No.
11.-o.—Do you mike removal to ,these
legs obligatory. on youi converts?
Y.- 7 -They would consider qbensielves
greatly aggrieved if they were not invited hith
ft..' We hold to such-a gathering together of
God's people is the: Bible foretells; and that,
this is the Place, and now is the time appointed
for its consumation.
H.D.-The predictions to which yOu refer
have usually, I think, been understood to . iodi
nate Jerusalem : (or Judea) as the place of such
• .
gathering.
8..1f.:-Yes for the Jewii—not for Others.
11: G.7-What is the position of your church
with relitect to slavery? . ,
x.—We consider it of Divine institution,
and not to be abolished until the curseprimate
ced on Hamshall have been remored from his
descendants, • . • .
H. G.—Are any slaves now held in this Ter-
B. Y.—There are.
H. G.—Do your Territorial lawn uphold ela.;
B. Y.—Those laws are printed—you can road
for yourself If slaves are . brought here by
thuse.who owned theni in the States, 'we do
not favor their escape from the service'of these
owners.
H:G. 7 -Am Ito Intel' that Utah, if admitted
as a Member of the Federal i Uuion; will be a
slave State? • •
. .
8.. 1 7 % 7 N0, she wilt be a free State. Slavery
here Would prove useless and unProktable...l
regard it gerierally as a curse to the
,maiteri:
I myself hire-many labprerliand pay them fair
wages; I could not afford to , own them 7 I can
do better' than 'to subject inyeetf-to
don to leed :and clothe 'their fanilies, to pro-.
vine, and , care, for them in 'sickness and health.
Utah Is not adapted to slave ,

There is no, compulsion , 'as' to , the payment.'
Each.membei acts in the'premises'acioidini to
his pleasure, un,der the dictates at hip own con
acience. . ; . , • • •
. .
H. G...—What is done with..the proceeds of
this tithing?.
Y.--Part of it is deroted to' building tem
ples and . other'plsees'of iroribip; part 'to help=
fug the poor and needy converts on their Way
to this country; and'the largest portion to the
support olthe poor rinoturthe saints.
H. none of It paid to thebishops
. and
other dignities of . the. Church? ,
B. Y.—Not one penny. No ;bishop, no:elder)
pe deacon, or other, church officer receives any
compensation for his official services.: A bish. !
op hi often required to,put his band in his own
pocket and provide therefrom for .the parr of
his Chargef but be never receives anything for
. .
. H. G.—How, then, do your ministers live?
B. Y.—By the labor'of their, own hands, like
the first Apostles. . Every bishop, every elder,
cony be dailj seen at Work 'in, the field or in
the i!hop, like hie rkeighborei "very minister O
the Church.has his proper ceiling by ithich he
earni the bread of his' family; he who cannot or
will not . do the Churcit's work for • nothing is
not wanted in: her 'service;--,even onriawyers,

only person to the Chuick.Who hal not'a riga
lar calling apart from the Churchls service, and
I never received one farthing from her treasury
if I obtain snything from the tithing-house, I
ati charged witlfand 'pay for it, juit as any one
else would; the clerks in the tithing -store are
:paid like 'other clerks, but • no one is ever paid

from.the ministry of. Christ unsuited hi' that'of

souri and driven. from that State; I war nearly .

.yott give me any ntional ex
planation of the aversion andlustred with which
your pkoPle ate generally regarded by those
among whom they have lived and with whom
they have been brought directly in contact?
13. Y.;-,No• other explanation titan is afforded
by the crucifiction' of Christ and' the .kiudied
treatment of Podia ministers,,.prophets and
saints, in all, ages,_. • •
H. knbsOhat a new sect is alWaYide;
cried and traducedits . it is hardly •eves de,em
ed respectable to belong to one—that the
Quakers, Nethodlits, Universities, &C.,
have each in. their turn • been regardet in, the
infancy of their sect as the ifficouring of the
earth; yet' - f cannot renembir that either of
them were generally representmi and. regarded
by,th;solder sect of their early days as ;thieves;
robbers, murderers. • - • .
B. Y.—lt you will consult, the cotemporary
Jewish accounts of thelife . and, acts of Jesus
Christ, you will find that he and his disciples
were accursed of every abominable deed and
purpose—robber); and murder *hided. Such
a work is still 'extant,' and may be found by
those who seek it. - " • •

Hon on•which your doetrines and practices are
avowedly at . war—with ' thole of the Christian
world—that of' a plurality of wives=ii to
.'the
system of your church acceptable to the major
kir, of its .women? • .
B. Y.—They could not be more averse to it
than I was when it Was'firet revealed to us as
the Divine will. I think they generally ateept
it; is I do, as the will of God. • '
H. 0.-How general is kigairry among
B. could not say. Some of those pres.
ant (heads of the Church] have each but one
wife; others have . mcire; each determines what
is his individual duty. .
B. Cr:—What is the largest number of wives
belonging, to any one loan? •
B. Y.--I hue fifteen; I know no one who
has more; but aonie of those sealed to me are
old ladies whom I regard rather as mothers
than wivei;but whom I have, ttilter; . homa to
cherish and support. , •
'H. G.—Does not the Apostle Peel say that a
