MORMONISM.
SERMON BY I)R. TALMAGE.
Then the Lord rained upon Sodom brimstone
and fire from the Lord out of heaven. —Genesis,
six., 34.
Sodom and Salt Lake city are sy
nonymous. You cau hardly think of
the one without thinking of the other.
Both in fertile valleys—valley of Sid
dim, valley of Utah. Both near a salt,
offensive, flshless dead sea, for Doctor
Robinson says there must have beeD a
lake near by while yet ancient Sodom
stood. Both the famous capitals of
most accursed impurity. Both doomed.
Iu 1857 a company of emigrants star
ted from Arkansas and Missouri for
California. They were good, respecta
ble well-to-de-people; but they had an
idea that they might have larger com.
forts for their families on the ottier
side the mountains; so they took what
always seems to he s terrible thing,
travelling la the wagon emigrant
train. They suffered everything on
the way. By night the fires kept of!'
the wolves, there was fa
tigue. and hunger, and heat, aud gen
ie womanhood fainting with the
long journey, and children crying for
rest. There were one hundred and
seventy in that company. They must
ueed cross Utah Terri Wry,and in Utah
nearly all the emigrant trains were
accustomed to take la new supplies
of provisions; but Brigham Young
heard that this emigrant train was
oamlng and he forbade, under pain of
death, any Mormon in Utah giving
any slothing, or food, or medicine, or
kindness ef any sort to these emi
grants. ft was a revenge Air the fact

suffering a]l Indignity, until they
came to a plain called Mountain
Meadow. The Indians dashed down

threw up a barricade, and in this tem

men most successfully. Then the
Mormou militia dashed down upon
these emigrants; but yon know how

property of $300,000 taken possession

Years after a Mormon woman, show

Lee, the Mormon bishop, was the
presiding spirit in person at the mas

years after in the court room, he gave
testimony, he said he had orders to do
that from headquarters, and it ap
peared op the eyldynpe that Brigham
Young had given orders as to the dis
position af the property of these mur
dered people, and bad told tne wit

tendom to day holds that man respon

when years atter be visited the scene
and found .that the bones of the emi
grants had been decently buried by
the officers of the United States Gov
ernment, and General Carlton had
put up a headboard by the grave,

day for trial before you, the jury of
Americans. It still lives. It has its
throne in Salt Lake City, and its foot
on the heart of dishonored woman,
and its breath Is the pestilence of the
nation. Gory, ghastly, hideous, in
fernal Mormorism, stand up and look
into the faces of the American jury
that is to try you.
This summer as well as on a pre
vious occasion, I had the opportunity
of inspecting this iniquity, and of
asking many questions, and having
them answered by Mormons and anti-
Mormons. Many of the Genttles of
Salt Lake City called on me and
asked me ‘.hat when I got home I
should present the case before the
people on this coast. I solemnly
promised them, and this morning 1
fulfill my promise. In retrard to the
alleged subsidence of Mormorism, I
have to tell you that seven hundred
and filly Mormons had arrived In Salt
Lake City or Utah, Just before we
went to Utah, and that there was
another company still larger ap
proaching the city, and that there
were 10,(XX) added last year, and that
there will lie more than that added
this year. Three hundred mission
aries, sent out to gather up victims
all over this land, and in Sweden,and
Norway, and Russia, and Germany,
and England, aud Ireland, and Scot
land. Many Sootch Presbyterians re
cently brought there. These mission
aries compelled to go out, although
their families may suffer the greatest
penury, for tills whole system Is cruel
and Herodlc. These misslonaiies go
to those who are In tho struggle of life,
and they hide all the hideous deformi
ties of Mormonism, and tell these
people: “Now, if you will cross the
oceap unff go to \Jtal|, you w|ll have
your ex|>ensee paid, and when you
get there you will have gardens ami
farms of your own, and your hard
ships will lie ended forever.” No won

stupendous swindle. Oh t you ought

have a delicious vernacular by which
they describe this putting to dentil.

If It attempts to repeat such atroc
ity. It is not because Mormonism is
more mrrclful, but liecause it has not
the courage.
I charge Marmonlsm with being a
greet blasphemy. Brigham Young,
in one of hit sermons declared that
Christ Hlmselt was a practical poly
gamist that Mary and Martha were
his plural wives; that Mary Magdalen
typs gnojhejj and (;* said in the same
Sermon t||atthe bridal feast in Cana of
Galilee where Christ turned water
into wine, was the occasion of one of
His own marriages. The whole ten
dency of the system l toward blasphe
my, I was told over and over again
that Brigham Young, with slight pro
vocation would swear like a fish wo
man at Billingsgate. I charge upon
Mormonitm that it is a disloyalty to
the United States Government. There
is au oath taken in the endowment
house at Halt Lake City which sub
verts all oilier oaths. Perjury is no
crime when enacted in behulf of Mor
mouisui. Mormonism hates the
Government of the United States with
a perfect hatred. Fourth of July oc
casions and a|l patriotic demonstra
tions are an utter abhorrence; to the
Mormons, and Gentile celebralors of
the Fourth of July suller every indig
nity. Mormonism would like to have
the United States Govemmeufc perish
to day. I charge upon Mormonism
that it is an organized filth built on
polygamy. There is a man in Salt
Lake City who has three wives, and
(bey are the mother the grandmother,
and the granddaughter I 1 observed
that there were additions built on the
houses, and it was explained to me
that when anew w ife is taken that
toe house is enlarged, forgetting the
fact that no house is large enough to
hold two women when married to the
same man. Think of a system which
teaches that the more wives a man
lives with at the same time on earth,
the higher his honor in heaven.
Think of a system which commends
a man for living in marriage at the
same time with three sisters. Think
of a system which wrecks the happi
ness of every woman who touches it,
for, I do not care what they say, God
never made a woman who can cheer

another. Every honest wife knows
she has a right to the entire throne of
her husband's affection. They may
smiie keep up appearances; but
they have an agony of death, and the
most pltable thing in ail the earth is
an aged woman in Mormonism. The
aged woman in other parts of the land
we bow before; we take off our hat to
her, we do her reverence. The softest
chair in the house is grandmother’s
chair. She is the queen on Christmas
and Thanksgiving day. The older
she gets, and the more wrinkles on
her face, and the more stooped her
shoulders, the more we think of her,
and when God takes her away to the
eternal rest it seems as iflliree-fourths
of the house were torn down. But a
woman getting aged in Mormonism,
she is shoved back and is paid
less attention, and and is of less and
and less account. Why ? Another
has taken the throne, and after
awhile she is dethroned, and another
will come up, and another. I tell you
Mormouism is one great surge of licen
tiousness, it is the seraglio of the re
public, it is the concentcrred corrup
tion of this land, it is the brothel of the
nation, it is hell unthroned! This
miserable oorpse of Mormouism has
been rotting in the sun,and rotting ami
rotting and rotting, for forty years,and
tlie United States Government lias not
had tlie courage to bury it. Morever
it is all the time gaining in influence.
Mormonism once meant Utah; now
to a certain extent it means Iduho,
Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming and New
Mexico. Wider and wider and wi
der. and greater and greater. It is
going far to debauch chis nation.
You have no idea of the Influence It I*
having on American politics, or what
It pus already douc at ll'ashington.
Mormonism receives SI,O(X),(XX) every
year through the tithing system, and
lias plenty of money with which to
effect national legislation. The Bub
iect was brought before Cougrpss and
tlie mutter referred tu Uu> committee,
and one of the members of the com
mittee said in derision: "What do
you make all this fuss about polgamy
for ? Those Mormons out there make
a religion of having four or five wives,
while some of tlie members pf ppti-
nrautjgp tfle same iniquity with
out any religion!” A stout effort is
being made to introduce Utah us a
State of the Union, and if it be ac
complished the United States govern
ment puts (tj bfoxt) spa| pf approba
tion upon tills stupendous indecency.
“Now,” you, say, “what is best to be
done ?” Execute the law against
polygamy, What right ha* the law
to piinuh a prau for bigamy, if ope
foot this side of Utah lie have two
wives, when one foot tho other side the
law lets him have twenty ? VVliat
right has the law to smite libertinism
In oilier parts of tills country when

you, "would' you inlerferc with a

Mormons want to believe that Joseph
Smith was God, or that Brigham
Young is the second peMfio qf the
Trinity, tfle (aty hat; no right to inter
fere with them. Rut Mormonism not
only antagonizes Christianity; it an
tagonizes good morals', am| the tnfldel
and tlie Christian stand side liy side
in denouncing Mormonism ns a foe to
free institutions. Then, I say, away
with it I Moral persuasion first, if
possible; but moral persuasion will not
accomplish it. They have declared
over and over again Hint they will let
their city go down under tlie bomb
shell before they will surrender poly
gamy, and I tell yoq M°rm on l*m wfli
never be deetrqyed until it is destroyed
by the guns of the United States Gov
ernment. It would not be war. I
hate war, It would be national policy
duly executing the law against poly,
gamy. iPliy did they not let Gener

troops sent out under the order of Pres
ident Buchanan, march right on until
they did their work V President
Buchanan never was charged with ex
cessive courage, and he sent out Gov
ernor Powell, of Kentucky, and Major
McCullough, of Tennessee, to oiler
pardon to all the Mormons who would
put down their arms, and there lias
not been a President of the United
States wi.li enough moral courage
since to clean out ti;at nqtiqqai stable.
We all go to iook at it. President
Grant went to look at it. Secretary
Schurz went to look ut it. President
Hayes went to look at it. We cross
the continent, and tt Is one of the arts
of Mormonism to be very gracious to
public men. The Mormons struggle
as to who shall have the privilege of
entertainment. I never addressed a
more genial audience in my life than
last August In the Mormon Opera-
House, a great many Mormons pres
ent. They bow you into the city, and
they bow you out of the city,and none
of us dare touch them. We all want
to the Congressmen, or President of
the United States, or Minister to Eng

oppose our political interests. And sq
if I were an aspirant for any nolitioal
office this sermon might perhaps be
very impolitic.
If there be any truth in the trans
migration of souls. I hope that the
soul of Andrew Jackson will get into
the body of some of our Presidents,
and make proclamation that within
thirty days all these Mormons must
decide upon one wife, or go to jail, or
quit the country. Then have congress

this law, all right. It not, then *Send

but if that will not do, then peaceful
proclamation. If that will not do,,
then howitzer, anl bombshell, and
bullets, and ca.moil ball. If a gang of
thieves should squat on a territory and'
make thievery a religUm, how long
would the United States government
stand it ?
Yet a community founded on theft
would not be so bad as a community
founded on the grave of desolated, de
stroyed, emliruited womanhood. T
call tlie attention of the American
Coogress to this evil. The liouc has
oouie. Let some Senator of the
States at the next meeting of Congress,*
or some member of the House of Re
presentatives, with eloquent tongue
and persistent; purpose, and goui,
morals of his own, lift tho nnti-Moe
mon standard, and then unroll the
tradedy and outrage of that appalling
system before the Government and be
fore the people, and that man will
gather around him all the sympathies
of all tlie families,and all the dm relies,
and all the reformers, and all tho
reformers, and all tlie high toned men
and women of America. The thing
has got to be done. It is only a ques
tion of whon. Let this man of whom
1 speak, in the name of God go fortli
and do his duty, and ho will at the
same time make his political fortune.
Come now, iustoad of exhuming tli c
wrapped up and entombed negro slav
ery, and tossing it nbout in these Pres
idential elections, have one live ques
tion, Mormonism , white slavery of to
day, and have it decided at the ballot
box whether that institution shall go
fortli with its pestiferous influence, or
whether under the law of our civiliza
tion and the stroke of the law it shall
perish. “But,” says someone, “ihat
would be a very expensive crusade.”
It would not cost tlie United States
Government one farthing, CPhflsoato
so inuop of the Mormon domain as is
ucoc-ssary to pay for the extermina
tion, and tako some of those vast sums

O ! good people of the United States,
whether I address you face to face, or
through the printing press, which
every Monday morning in most of our
cities give me an audienqe—for which
I atq very thankful—whatever way I
reach your eye or your ear, I have to
teii you that unless we destroy Mor
monlsm, Mormonism will destroy us.
If God be pure and just, He will not
let tills nation go unwhipped much
longer, if w 6 allow that mquity to go
unchallenged. My plea this morn
ing is in behalf of fifteen thousand
Gunliles who in Utah are suffering
persecution for their principle, or are
speechless because they do not want
their commercial interests sacrificed.
1 plead for thousands of foreigners
who, deceived and betrayed from their
own country, have been introduced
Into Mormonism, and thousands of
miles away from their native country
can make no resistance, but must live
and die in dumb despair. I plead for
womanhood in Utah—womanhood
under foot, womanhood crushed until
it cannot weep, womanhood looking
out of the barred windows of a perdi
tion of anguish toward what
seems an unpltylng heaven,
crying, "O Lard ! how long 10,
Lord!”—womanhood witli the gar
lands of hope and affection and honor
tom with the swine’s snout of incestu
ous abomination, womanhood that if
it had a chance, or had had a chance
in the past, would have beeu as pure
and. good as that which presides at
yoot table to day, or which long ago
bent in benediction over your peace
ful .firadle before you began in the
struggle with tlie world. O! men,
with wives and daughters and moth
ers. 01 brothers, do not your ears
tingle, and does not your blood run
cold at this story of Mormonism?
And are you not determined at the
ballot-i>ox, and with pen and tongue,
and in every possible way to war
ajpiinst It. O, you wives, who will to.
Alight kneel before God, thanking him
for tlie home in which you are the uti
disputed queen. O! mothers, with
daughters coming up honored aud de
fended, no rough hand to touch them
from cradle to grave, will you not in
i your prayers to-night sympathize
j With your sisters who are dying the
'< Mow death of Mormonism ? O! ye
aged couples, who have been in each
i others company for thirty or forty
years, or fifty years climbing the hill
of life together, and now going down
on the other side of tho hill in tlie
Jiglit of the setting sun; hut all the
way up and all the way down supreme
in each others affection; united in holy
marriage so long ago that all the wit
ness but God are dead; your sympa
thies strengthened by the birth-hour,
when one life was spared and another
added, and by (he grace over which
both your hearts broke at once; her
face, with alt tlie wrinkles, more at
tractive now to you than when rosy
with youth, because it is written with
precious memories; side by side so
long, that when God takes one He will
soon tnke the other—ol ye aged couple,
remember this day, in prayer before
God, those to whom old age brings
neglect and dethronement of affliction.
And mav tlie God who setteth the sol
itary in famlltcs bless all our Ironies.

Joy to tiie World ! Woman is Free I
—Among the many discoveries look
ing io the happiness and amelioration
of the human race, none is entitled to
higher consideration than Dr. J.
Bradfield’B Female Regulator, “Wo
man’s Best Friend.” By it woman is
emancipated from numberless ills pe
eu'iar to her sex. Before its magic
power all irregularities of the womb
vanish. It cures “whites,” suppres
sion of (lie “menses,” and removes
uterine obstructions. It cures consti
pation and strengthens the system,
braces the nerves and purifies the
blood. It never fails as thousands of
women will testify.
Prepared by Dr’. J. Brudfleld,Atlan
ta, Ga., price $1.50 per bottle.
Tiiomasyille, G a., June 28,1877.
I have been selling Bradfield’s Fe
male Regulator for years, and is still
continues popular—an evidence of its
being all claimed for it. I can recall
instances in which it afforded relief
after all tlie usual remedies has failed.

Woman’s Best Friend.-To relieve the
aching heart of woman and bring joy
where sorrow reigned supreme,is amis
sion ‘ before which smiles of kings
dwindle into utter insignificance. To
do this is the peouliar province of Dr.J.
Rradfield’s Female Itegulater; which
from tlie numerless cures it has accom
plished, is appropriately styled Wo
man’s Best Friend. The distressing
complaint known ns tlie“wliites,”and
the various irregularities of the womb
to which woman is subject, disappear
like magic before a single bottle of
tins wonderfu' compound. It is pre
pared by L. H. Bradfleld, Druggist,
Atlanta,Ga,, ami sold at $1.50 per bot
tle by respectable Drug men every
where. Physicians prescribe it. its
action is prompt, sure and decisive.
