in pronouncing sentence upon X sr r hawkin hankin ha w kin a for cohabiting with his div a dee declared lared 1 I am borry sorry for you yon very orrye orryl ill itt it must be understood by the honorable gentle gentie gentleman maug maus moral code that polygamy Is adla adiA adultery tery solomon baid said there was nothing new under the bun sun if our chief justice could have had him before his tribunal for a few hours the king would certainly have heard something new he doubtless believed in the given to moses sinai namely thou ehalt not commit adultery and although he be was superlatively blessed with wisdom and knowledge above all imen yet it never nover entered into his mind that abraham the friend of god and jacob who wrestled with god and his father david a man after gods own heart and himself and a host of prophets and patriarchs were alakl hlas I 1 all adulterers according to the late decision of judge mckean and his grand jury I 1 would like to know mr editor who ibold these honorable gentlemen that polygamy is adultery rhey they certainly must have adultery very bad on the brain or they would never have come to so preposterous a conclusion upon principles so diametrically opposed to each other as polygamy and adultery the fact is incontrovertible that the bible teaches polygamy as a sacred system of marriage and the best and holiest hollest of men believed in aud practiced it and botone not one word condemnatory can be found in the sacred writings from the book of genesis to the book of revelations I 1 have come to the conclusion cl mr editor that the judge lies as mr curran would say under a very gr great eat mistake for the almighty w was wab as we well weil 11 pleased with polygamists two three and four thousand years ago and ana I 1 cannot see why he should not be well pleased pleased witha with a similar class of men today ay HIstory both sacred and profane teaches that men and nations do constantly change but true principles

As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be worlds without end amen it is just so with regard to polygamy judge and his grand jurys decision to the contrary ing they verify the old adage pig

however that what the world called 1 I mormon lam iam 11 vvan w nothing less than the gospel of jecus jerus jec jer us christ which was destined to usher in the kingdom of god upon the earth establish to which the blood of some of the best boatmen men of this age has been shed to the shame of this nation be it said their murderers were permitted to go unpunished the gospel taught the martyred marty red prophets joseph and hyrum smith and it teaches us not to fear those who can kill the body the kingdom is the lords and he will I 1 come out of hib his hiding pinc pine ein eln his hib own time and judge those wicked servants whom he has raised up to be rulers and judges unless they repent let it be remembered that thab jehovah has said ga touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm for better that a millstone mills tone were hanged banged about your necks and you yon were cast into the depths of the sea than to lay your unholy hands on the least of my saints permit me to make a few
