Few movements have been started, especially among women, that did not professedly stand upon high moral and religious ground. Fourierism was superhuman in its intention, in this country, at least. Free-thinking hopes to deliver the soul from the bondage of superstition in all religion. Mormonism was founded as "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints."
'Sit thou on my right hand till I make thine enemies the footstool of my feet, said the Lord of Hosts, Acts II, the thirty-fourth verse and let me tell you right now, you got to get up a good deal earlier in the morning than you get up even when you're going fishing, if you want to be smarter than the Lord, who has shown us the straight and narrow way, and he that passeth therefrom is in eternal peril and, to return to this vital and terrible subject of Mormonism and as I say, it is terrible to realize how little attention is given to this evil right here in our midst and on our very doorstep, as it were it's a shame and a disgrace that the Congress of these United States spends all its time talking about inconsequential financial matters that ought to be left to the Treasury Department, as I understand it, instead of arising in their might and passing a law that any one admitting he is a Mormon shall simply be deported and as it were kicked out of this free country in which we haven't got any room for polygamy and the tyrannies of Satan.
When at home as you here see him he ought to be very happy with sixty wives to minister to his comforts and twice sixty children to soothe his distracted mind. Ah! my friends what is home without a family? What will become of Mormonism? We all know and admit it to be a hideous wrong a great immoral strain upon the 'scutcheon of the United States.
From Gnosticism to Mormonism, every religious delusion has grown from some fundamental error in the previous religious teaching of the people. By the narrowly verbal method of reading the Scripture, so much in vogue in the polemical discussions of the past generation, and still so fervently adhered to by many people, the ground was prepared for Millerism.
"Look at the dangers threatening our dear native land and the cause of Christ also from vice and illiteracy, Popery and Mormonism, all ever on the increase from the rapid influx of undesirable immigrants paupers, insane, anarchists, criminals.
However much he might fail in discovering material treasures, Smith's hold upon the religious infatuation of his followers grew more and more strong. John Morse, an aged convert to Mormonism, had recently died, and Smith was sent for to restore him to life. After looking at him Smith declined, because it would be a pity to have him suffer rheumatism and die again so soon!
Remaining in California over two months, Carleton started eastward in the late autumn over the Central Pacific railway, writing from Salt Lake City what he saw and knew about Mormonism and the polygamy and concubinage there shamefully prevalent.
Mormonism, even when plunging into the lowest depths of degradation, has always claimed to rest on the redemption of Jesus Christ. Mohammedanism even the Koran itself has always acknowledged Christ as the only sinless prophet.
"Is it vile is it blind is it only Mormonism to save human life? No, Lassiter, that's God's law, divine, universal for all Christians." "The blindness I mean is blindness that keeps you from seein' the truth. I've known many good Mormons. But some are blacker than hell. You won't see that even when you know it. Else, why all this blind passion to save the life of that that...."
Thus you become a blessing to your friends by ceasing to be a nuisance to them if the people you go among suffer by the operation. Mormonism is only about forty years old, but its career has been full of stir and adventure from the beginning, and is likely to remain so to the end.
