Plsase Post Conspicuously-
EVILS OF MORMON ISM.
A Reprint of a tract written by
u. J. McMillan, U. D.
We have already seen that the
Mormon doctrines as taught
and explained by the prophet
and apostles are at variance
with the fundamental truths of
the Bible, viz : the nature and
attributes of God and the per
son and work of our Savior the
Lord Jesus Christ. As for the
practices of the Mormons, it
will appear further on that re
ligious duties as inculcated by
the "inspired" authority of the
Mormon Church are hostile to
the Bible rules of Christian life
and character.
As for the Book of Mormon
it must be said that with all its
monstrous pretences it is better
and puror in its teaching than
the priests of the Mormon
Church. IS
The Xlth Article of Faith
reads : "We claim the privilege
of worshiping Almighty God
according to the dictates of our
consciences, and allow all men
the same privilege, let them
worship how, where and what
they may."
That is good doctrine. The
people of the United States be
lieve, practice and defend it
sacredly. The Mormons, with
all their strange worship, have
never in any instance been de
prived of the right to "worship
how and where and what they
may." Only when they have
interfered with rights of others,
disturbed the domestic affairs
and broken up the homes of
other people have they been in
terfered with, and when they
have taught and practiced poly

gamy contrary to the laws of
the land, as well as the laws of
God, to the subversion of the
American idea of home, and the
utter destruction of lhe purity
and sacredness of family life
then they have been arrested
and punished. And when their
elders have led away the wives
and daughters of other men to
replenish their own harems,
they have sometimes been killed
by infuriated husbands and
fathers, as in the case of their
apostle, Parley T. Pratt, who
enticed away the wife of a
peaceful citizen of Arkansas and
was hunted down and killed by
the wronged husband and a
company of friends and neigh
bors. Dr. John King Robinson was
killed in Salt Lake City in 1866
because he was an inoffensive
Christian and refused to become
a Mormon. And Rev. Norman
McLeod, a Christian minister,,
was not allowed to live in Utahj
and. worship according to the
dictates of his own conscience.
There was a sect called -Glad-denites,
who wanted to worship
God according to the dictates of
their consciences, but the proph
et, Brigham Youny, said in the
Tabernacle : - "Nonr you Glad
denites keep your tongues still,
lest sudden destruction come
upoi you,:I say rather than that
apostates should flourish here,
I will unsheath my bowie-knife
and conquer or die. Let us call
upon the -Lord to assist us in
this and every other good work."
Much more might be said,
but for the sake of brevity we
will add only the same spirit
prevails among the Mormons
to-day, but held in restraint by
the strong hand of the law, the
military forces, and thelncreas
ing number of good people who

have gone to live
spite of Mormon
in Utah in
threats and
persecution.
The XII th Article of their
faith says : "We believe in being
subject to Kings, Presidents,
rulers and magistrates, in obey
ing, honoring and sustaining
the law."
The fact is the above is the
very opposite of what they teach
and practice. But let us prove
it out of their own mouths.
They predict and promise that
it is the mission of the Mormons
to overthrow all governments
upon earth, and rule supreme.
In "Key to Theology,'7 all re
publics, states, kingdoms, em
pires, must be dissolved, the
dross of ignorance and false
hood be separated and the gold
en principles of unalloyed truth
be preserved and blended for
ever in the one consolidated,
universal, eternal government
of the "Saints of the Most
High.
i They claim that their prophet
is God's vicegerent, and as such
is superior to all constitutions
and laws of this or any other
nation. He "holds the keys of
revelation of the Oracles of
God to men upon the earth ;
the power and right to give
Jaws and commandments to
individuals, churches, rulers,
nations, and the world; to ap
point, ordain and establish in
stitutions and kingdoms ; to ap
point Kings, Presidents, Gov
ernors or judges, and to ordain
and anoint them to their sev
eral holy callings ; also to in
struct, warn or reprove them
by the word of the Lord" (Key
to Theology, p. 68) . Of course
it is impossible for a man who
claims such powers to be loyal
ly subordinate to the constituted
authorities of our country, or to
ed
public and to
m.
be willingly subject to our laws,
or to conscientiously and faith
fully teach his people so to be.
After the Mountain Meadows
Massacre, in September, 1857,
when the Mormons plundered
and murdered 120 peaceful em
igrants ; who were passing
through Utah to California, the
President of the United States
removed Brigham Young from
being Governor of Utah, and
appointed a law-abiding citizen
of Georgia named Cummirigs,
to that ofli'ce. The Mormons
having threatened that Mr.
Cummings should never hold
the office, the President sent an
army under Gen. Albert Sydney
Johnston to protect the new
Governor and other officers in
enforcing the laws. Brigham
Young issued a proclamation
to the Mormon "saints" on
September 15th 1857, in which
he said: "We are invaded by a
hostile force. Therefore, I,
Brigham Young, Governor and
Superintendent of Indian Af
fairs for the Territory of Utah,
forbid all armed forces of what
ever description from coming
into this Territory under any
pretense whatever." This does
not sound much like "being
subiect to Presidents, rulers
and magistrates, obeying, hon
oring and sustaining the law."
But we must close with a
brief notice of Article XIII,
which says : "We believe in
being honest, true, chaste, be
nevolent, virtuous, and in doing
good to all men, etc."
It is a fearful reflection on
the honestv and truthfulness of
m
the Mormon yeople that one
Gentile banker. Mr. Warren
Hussey, in 1872, paid to the
government within a few hun
dred dollars of twice as much
as the whole amount of revenue

Profanity is very
common
among the Mormou priests from
the prophet down or up to the
humblest saint. Brigham
Young said in the Tabernacle,
October 9th, 1852, whilo de
scribing the saints at work get
ting wood in the mountain
canons: "Mr. B says, 4Look
yonder, there is plenty of tim
ber and as easy to get as this
that I call my own.' Friend
H replies, 'But I'll be damned
if I don't get wood where you
get it.' Mr. B says, I'll be
damned if vou do no there !'
This is the language of men
who sit here before mo to-day,
so near to me that 1 could nut
my hand upon them. You
elders of Israel will go into tho
canons and curse and swear-
damn and curse your oxen, and
swear by Him who created you.
I am telling the truth."
"Chaste 1" "Virtuous!"
Volumes might be written on
these two words, which occur
in tnat thirteenth article or
faith, but the following state
ment which John D. Lee, for
forty years a member of tho
Mormon Church, and for more
than thirty-seven years a priest,
made in 1877 in view of his
approaching death and with
the awful realities of tho judg
ment before him, is quite suffi
cient. "He (Hyrura bmitli,
second in the church) explained
to me fully the doctrines of
polygamy and wherein it was
permitted and why it was

I was sealed to my second wife.
This was in 1844 (eight years
before polygamy was author
ized by revelation) , I was
sealed to her by Bricham
Young, then ono of the Twelve.
In less than one year after I
first learned the will of God
concerning the marriago of the
Saints, as made known by him
in a revelation to Joseph Smith,

wives.
