SOMETHING OF MORMONISM.
ITS INFLUENCE IS DEMORALIZING
AND DEGRADING.
The following article by Rev, F..
O. Guerrant, of Kentucky, in the
Christian Observer, is reprinted in the
Gazette, by request:
“I feel confident that many of our
people do not know the character of
th s body, nor the magnitude of the
effort it is making to spread its doc
trines. General Eaton (Ex-Commis
sioner of Education of the United
Stytes) says that their missionaries
are estimated to number two thou
sand, three huudred.
I know that they are travelling all
over our land, two by two, canvass
ing every school district, distributing
their literature, and preaching in pub
lic school houses, contrary to our law,
which says: “No sectarian, infidel or
immoral doctrine shall be taught in
our school houses.” I have met them
in the most distant and inaccessible
parts of the mountains. “They com
pass sea and land to make one pros
elyte.” They have more missiona
ries in Kentucky (and probably in
every Southern State) than all other
denominations together. They have
members in every State and Terri
tory but five, and have scores of mis
sionaries m foreign lands, and are
winning perverts to their faith by
thousands. Of course, they are
mostly among the poor and ignorant
classes, but they have souls, and con
stitute the mass of mankind.
ORIGIN.
“ As is well known, the founder of
this sect was Joseph Smith, who was
born in Vermont in 1805, but brought
up in New York, at Palmyra. His
mother was an ignorant and super
stitious fortune teller, and his neigh
bors pronounced him “an ignorant,
idle youth, given to chicken stealing.”
He could not write, though he could
read, and his favorite Hooks were:
“Captain Kidd, the Pirate,” and
“Stephen Burroughs, the Clerical
Scoundrel.” How naturally his af
ter life took the complexion of his
early companions. His associates in
starting his church were Sidney Rig
don, a backsliding preacher, and
Parley P. Pratt, a travelling tin-ped
dler—all unscrupulous, cunning and
characterless. They were followed
by Brigham Young, whom Judge
Goodwin, (Editor of the Salt Lake
Tribune) describes as “the worst of
.men; intellectually he was not bright,
but he was full of animal magnetism;
and though his heart was that of a
sheep, there was a great deal of wolf
in his forehead; possessing a stub
bornness that never yielded, and a
plausible tongue. His avarice was
measureless. He never looked on
without coveting his neighbor’s fair
wife, good horse, or profitable invest
ments.” From such a source noth
ing but Mormonism could proceed,
and it is worthy of its parentage.
The so called “Book of Mormon,”
is a romance entitled “The Manu
script Found,” written by an Invalid
Congregational preacher named Sol
omon Spaulding, of Ohio, but never
published. It gives in Bibical style
a fanciful history of the Moundbuild
ers, a people who are supposed to
have preceded the Indians in the
Ohio Valley. This manuscript fell
into the hands of Smith or Rigdon
(stolen perhaps), and was grossly al
tered to suit their purpose. This is
the Book of Mormon. The Mormon
Bible is a sacnlegous imitation of the
Holy Bible—changed to suit the re
volting doctrines ol the new faith of
its founders. “Joe” Smith was killed
by his outraged and indignant neigh
bors at Nauvoo, 111., in 1844.
Pratt was killed in Arkansas in
1856 for stealing a man's wife. Rig
don was expelled from the Mormon
church and given over to satan by
Brigham Young.
DOCTKINK.
For doctrine the Mormon church
rests on two pillars—Polytheism and
Polygamy —twin relics of heathenism,
many gods and many wives. Take
these away, and it falls like the tem
pie of Dragon.
Adam is the Mormon God, and all
the rest of their gods were men, and
became gods by practicing polygamy.
They teach that “God, angels and
men are all of one species.
They teach that the “Holy Ghost
is a man, one of the sons of our bath
er and our God." I quote their own
language.
Their whole system is Idolatrous
man worship. They teach that their
gods are polygamists; that Jesus
Christ had three wives.
Again, their chief god changes his
mind when it suits him for them), as
he did in once denouncing polygamy
(in 1830), and afterwards recom
mending it fin 1843) to accommodate
Joseph Smith.
It is the fashion of their missiona
ries to deny these well known facts;
and especially their well known prac
tice of polygamy. But this is of a
piece with their whole system ot de
ception in beguilding the ignorant
into their net. They are “wolves in
sheep's clothing.”
Rev. l)r. Wishard, of Salt Lake
City, says that polygamy is funda
mental to the system; that “it is now
practiced in all the towns of Utah,
where it has ever been practiced.”
“The assertion that polygamy is dead
would produce a smile on the face of
an honest Mormon ” This is the re
cent testimony of a distinguished
clergyman who knows them well.
“To live our religion, is to live in pol
ygamy,^” said their priest, McAlister.
John D. Lee. for thirty-seven years
a Mormon priest, who was hung for
murder confessed that he had nineteen
wives and sixty-four children.
“The (Mormon) Saints” (they call
themselves the “Latter day Saints”)
“have made Utah a modern Sodom,
and the paradise of libertines.” This
is the testimony of Judge Boreman,
for eight years associate judge of the
Supreme Bench of Utah.
Of course, you would not expect
to find truth or sobriety or other vir
tues in such company. So we are
told that profanity and perjury are
almost universal. A resident of Salt
Lake City challenged any Mormon to
produce a single case where a Mor
mon was ever cut off from his church
for murder, theft, lying, drunkenness,
fornication, profanity or Sabbath
breaking. Miss Mary Cort (who
taught five years in Utah) told me
she never knew a Mormon who would
tell the truth when it would convict
another Mormon.
Prof. Coyner, for many years su
perintendent of Salt Lake Collegiate
Institute, says: “Business has
thrown me among all classes of so
ciety in various parts of the world,
but the most profane and vulgar ad
dress I ever listened to, I heard de
livered by Brigham Young,” the Mor
mon high priest and prophet.
“No man can describe the demor
alizing effect upon the young, nor ad
equately set forth the lack of morality
on a part of the vast majority of
young men and wonen who are
brought up in connection with it. In
fact, they don’t seem to know what
the term morality means.” So says
Dr. McNiece, for many years pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church of
Salt Lake city.
“Of course, hatred and persecution,
naturally belong to such a system.
And from the beginning they have
waged an unrelenting warfare against
all others.
“Their creed teaches disloyalty to
all civil government, and the Presi
dent of the United States had to re
move Brigham Young from being gov
ernorofUtah, and appoint a law
abiding citizen of Georgia in his
place.
Private murder by their “blood
avengers,” culminated at last in the
“Mountain Meadow Massacre,”
when John D. Lee, Mormon elder,
with a band of Mormons and In
dians, in Southern Utah, muidcred,
in cold blood, one hundred and
twenty men, women and children, em
igrating from Arkansas to California.
This man, inspired by Brigham
Young, was hung, at last by the Uni
ted States authorities, after twenty
years’delay by the Mormons, who
prevented his earlier conviction.

No. What cases will it cure

stages, especially in young
people. Wc make no exag

positive evidence that the

Scott’s Emulsion

the marriages are celebrated, is to
“have your throat cut from ear to ear,
and your tongue torn from your
mouth.”
“Their vindictive spirit may be
learned from this expression of one
of their apostles: “I do pray for our
enemies. I pray that God will damn
them and send them down to hell.”
Such is the spirit of Mormonism.
“The degredation of Mormonism
falls more heavily upon woman than
upon man,” says General Eaton.
She is made the tool and the slave
of his greed and lust. She cannot
live on earth except as a concubine,
nor enter heaven at all, except by
marriage. “I have shed tears enough
since I have been in polygamy to
drown myself twice over.” This is
the language of a Mormon wife—of
the Prophet himself. Another said :
“The plains from Missouri to this
valley are strewn with the bones of
those whom this system has killed,
and the cemetery on the hill is full of
them, but everyone of these women
is now wearing a martyr’s crown.”
“Is anything else neccessary to
damn such a system ? You wonder
that it could exist at all in this coun
try of ours. But remember, the
great majority of its adherents are
very ignorant and poor people, and
many are foreigners who cannot
read our language; many are sincere
and honest in their belief because
they are enslaved by wicked and de
signing teachers.
But I weary you, and have no
space to say anything of the tyrany of
their priesthood, nor the greed of
their tithing system, with an income
of a million a year and no .account
given ot it, nor of their celestial mar
riages (of the living, to the dead,;
nor their baptism for the dead —nor
their doctrine of “blood atonement”
which teaches that a man may be
murdered to save bis soul. These
are some, not all, of the tenets of
this monstrous crime of the nine
teentli century —this open sore of the
world!
Ido not wonder that Rev. Dr.
McNiece says: “Let Paganism, Ju
daism, Jesuitism, Protestantism and
Diabolism be shaken up and the re
sult is Mormonism.”
God’s description of this abomi
nation is ioutvd in 2 Peter 2: 2.
To his hands we confidently com
mit its overthrow, and pray for our
country and our children.
