Show UTAH EVENIHG.MAIL. .March (1, FBI DAY, A ' Spiritual Solution of the mon Problem. Xomnw Evxxiso Uhl: PJlor In the lln. editorial commenting on Tsppans lecture on "Uormonism in its relation-hi- p to Spiritualism," the objection It made that no new light waa thrown nor any eolation offered to tho vexed problem of Mo rinonlam." I do not undentand that the controlling intolli-gonc- a undertook to propoxa a solution, hut that considerable knowledge regarding this lubject'and forciblaiiieai as to its Inception and present status, was manifested Is the unanimous opinion of many Intelligent persons both and Gontilos who listened to the lecture of Mrs.' Tuppun.-- . One prominent feature was this: that the view taken of the subject waa consistent with tho idea that the Mormon religion, In common with all other religions, started out with a sincere desire to beuulit humanity and that the eacrosences, that have attached thainlvu,Ani nude it ao odious to other Christian sects, aro the results of personal ambition, .lovo of money, and other human passions and desires; this view may not lie consistent with tho idee of imposture, delusion, ole , ole., charged against it but it u consistent with the experience of men who have been Mormons for twenty, thirty or forty years, but who have left tho church because the spiritual enorgy, the spiritual gifts, ' and purity of life once existing have been extinguished by the ruthlesa hands of a degenerate priesthood, and the love of power, love of wealth, aud love of women substituted in their piece. Mrs. Tappans denunciation of polygamy wca. scathing in the extreme, she said that a system that ignuied tho rights of one half, of the human family could not bo permanently prosperous, and was a return to barbarism in iis wont features, and the fact of the social evil exisliug in the world, wea no excuse or justification.". Many other good things were said iu the course of the lecture, which bad great weight with many Mormona present, but tho solution of the Mormon problem as it is called was plainly indicated in my opinion in the answers to soma of the quealions propounded by the audience; which I will try briefly to point out, (and which points aro most commonly left out of calculations by all persons treating on tho vexed problem). Question 1. How is it if the Mormon chureh is not the especial church of God, that the members of that church have enjoyed and do now sumotimes realize the gifts promised to the believer In the bibier Answer. - As naturally as the sunlight streams through e window so do these things happen to mediumislio persons whether in the Mormon or any other church or ouUide any church at all. Qaestion 2., Was Joseph Smith man? her language of remorse that sometimes almost drives me mad. Yes, mad, mad, mad!1 La said in a frenzy, rising and crossing the floor with long, hasty strides. Then burying hit face in hit hands, he exelaiued: "Too late, too late! I have repented!" There wet a long pause, end he continued, calmly: No human moans can now restore my poor companion. Her moral tnnsibili-lic-a become more and more acute as ibo foils in strength, so that she often A reproaches herself constantly.1 weary, mournful sigh brulto from his lips, as if Lis heart would break. "Obi f bo knew," he exclaimed again, "if ha know how hitter a penalty she is paying, ha would pity her and, if it could be, forgive. AVill you tee ber, eirr .8 rf d S . PH 2 aa o do & H c? o o w .

Undoubtedly ho was what h called now a spirit medium, but, this did not maka him infallible either as a man or a medium. Question 8. Mid he rocoiea a revelation on polygamy? Answer. If ho did . he reostvod it from a polygamist. These answers may soem to bo very simple to some, but they .furni.li a key that will evsutually solve the Moimon Problem, by showing that the mere fact of receiving revelations or having miraculous gifts by priest or people do not prove the divinity of their religion or the Infallibility of their priesthood . This is the greatest point that can be solved, and spiritualism is the 'only thing that can solve it; fer the knowledge that these things have occured in the Mormon Church it the shout anchor of a Mormon's fulili,aiid until there fuels are clearly explained to his niinJ, it is useless to reason with him regarding the incongruities and errors incorporated with tho system. Allow me in conclusion, Mr. Editor, to state thst it is my opinion bunded on an intimate knowledge of tho subject, that spirituali.m is BOTH PAIifc doing ns much quietly and unostentaJEVIS JOSLIX. tiously, as all other agents combined, to breakdown and undermine the incongruous system of truth and error known JOSLIU & PARK, as Mormoniam. Apostle O. Q. Cannon stated emphat ically to a gentleman who has lift tlie Manufacturing Church, that spiritualism was the greatest enemy they had to contend with, And deafer hi think I have shown that Mr. Tappan and her controiing spirit, did effer a solution to the vexed problem, and iu my HITCHES, SILTEmn, humble opinion it is the only solution llespectfully Yours, possible.
