Show TRY IT ON THE QENTILEs! Senator 'Dubois "Havo you received any Individual revelations yoursolf, nlncc you became president of tho church under your own definition, even, of a revelo- lljr, (Jos,. F.) Smith "I can not eay that I havo." Senator Dubois "Can you say that you havo not?" Mr. Smith "No; I can not say that I havo riot." What on earth does the reverend president mean by those amazing admissions? ad-missions? Is It possible that he does not know a revelation when he hears It, or sens it, or 6mells It, or tpuohos it, or tastes It? Can It bo possible that he has been receiving dally, hourly messages from God and thought that they were calls for dinner or mere announcements of bedtime, or that they were the three-candle-power dickering of his com- I pany's flfty-two-candle-powcr electric J lights? 1 "Where Is he at, and where are tho rest of his people at, on this subject? He can't tell whether anything that comes to him Js a revelation or not; and pf course, the Mormons can't tcjl. How would It do to bring the document docu-ment down town and submit It to the Gentiles as was done once before to see whether they were Avllllng to accept It as a revelation or not? If "yes," then It would go forth; If "no," then it would meet tho fate of Desdemona. |
