"New York, December 12, 1886.
The founder of every new religion, according to this doctrine, was a disgrace to his father and mother.

Why, if this doctrine be true why do you send missionaries to other lands and ask those people to disgrace their parents?
In the early months of 1905 she read in the Tribune the testimony given before the Senate committee by Professor James E. Talmage, for the Church, to the effect that since the manifesto of 1890 neither the President of the Church nor anybody else in the Church had power to authorize a plural marriage, and that any woman who had become a plural wife, since the manifesto, was "no more a wife by the law of the Church, than she is by the law of the land."

The first four years of prayer and testimony from 1842-1846 were definitely and visibly rewarded with only two converts. When Mr. Talmage arrived at Amoy in 1847 the total church membership was three. By 1850 it had grown to five. By the end of 1851 the seed had brought forth nearly fourfold. There were nineteen converts. This was the harbinger of brighter days.
To no man in any walk of life, whether politician, editor or author, has the opportunity of impressing his thoughts on his generation that Dr. Talmage enjoys been given in such fulness.
