is almost as childish as somo of its predecessors the editor quotes a portion of an article from tue tae deseret NEWS showing that the system of plurality of w wives I 1 ves though not always alwayn a

for it Is ia for utah only if it la Is possible for one inconsistency sis tenoy mency to bo more inconsistent than another this idea stated in the above editorial Is the most inconsistent of inconsistencies the gist of the foregoing attempt at a t lawyers logio is 1 3 this anything connected with Mormon fam lam or that is called a part of the system s stem which was not preached at the beginning of the church aud bud any thing belonging to it which may zot kot lot L i ot be practiced practised everywhere on earth cannot be an essential part of mor mon coniam but Is ia an outrage and ao an abridgement abridge ment of the proper and extent of the gospel and is the most moat inconsistent of inconsistencies let askee us bee eee how this consistent and arld logical gentleman appears in the light or of his own reasoning when the church was first organized its doctrines consisted of calib repentance baptism for the loa ioa a of bins biris and the laying on n of hands handa for the eilt vitt ot of the holy woly ghost aghos t every other doctrine and principle pio pid and ordinance and practice now a part of the creed oft off Morn mormonism has been added since that time mr smith then is ie guilty ot of committing commuting the outrage against which he launches his child ish of that I 1 most most moat inconsistent of inconsistencies JJ every time ho he advocates any thing as a part of the mormon creed gme exe except ep t those four principles the doctrine of the gathering gat nering and alit allt the practice of paying tithing to tue tae bishop which no ne endorses antil amx teaches are both additions to thome those reference to a special locality who tho tho place tor fon the city of zion was not known 1831 and in august 1831 every man who the place plada appointed

place rhul ali ail all who gather unto the jana of zion shall be tithed of thein their bur bul plus properties and shall observe this lawor they shall han not ba found worthy to abide among you in

the not re velea revealed in the beginning and when it w was revealed applied appl appi leck one ona place it was not to be practiced tired abroad ab when the saints fettled in nauvoo hey hay wore were commanded to build a temp tempia there according Aco to mr smiths logic thia thib was an out flou oui nago nage y the tho saints in scotland could nou nol build a temple in that land neither could the baines in boston build one there in tho the commandment to build that housa house in that particular place pince it Is ia declared that baptism for th the a dead can only be performed acceptably in the londa lorda house or temple built for that purpose also that the was hinga hinge and anoint ings lugs and nud solemn assemblies etc belong to the temple tompie it Is ia further ae

these 1 things et teb meb Iza tion of the church according to mr smiths reasoning it was ali all an outrage and the most incon si stent of inconsistencies the baptisms for the dead with the re cording and all things pertaining thereto explained by the prophet joseph in his letters of be september bembers 1842 to be found in the doctrine oc trIne and covenants can only be practiced in a certain house dulit in a certain way and after a certain pattern and are arf not applicable in evory every nation kindred tongue tingue and people under the whole heaven therefore according to mr hir smiths nonsense noneen they and deny the proper effect and extent of the gospel and confine the final glory of the kingdom budnot but not only haa has mr smith erceil erred t in his attempt to muzzle we me almighty put a atop to the PR pro giess of hue bue church end tie up it ito creed to ideas adopted many yearb ago agog and thus prevent that addition ol of line upon iines lines line iino and abild precept precept which is promised promis tc bd to it from ahu lord but in his style of petty quibbling he hae bise perverted the plain and simple meaning of the paragraph copita from the theE NEWS ws where Js Is therea theren therea syllable therein which conveys the notion that plural marriage cannot be preached evoly evely where or that it never can ut ue practiced practised outside of utah we claimed that it la Is now esserman part of the theory but that the practice of the system Is not now permitted except under religious regulations and in utah 13 Itis it ie just j bat the same with baptism for the dead the reasons aro are obvious in both instances but if they wery not that would not change the fact that each is now an essential part pare of lne the theory an integral part of mon mormonism and that neither of them was wab a part of the system until it wa was revealed and aud adopted there is but little of the system established by joseph joserh the prophet that is ia adhered booven to ovin in theo theory ryby by nola lila son bon but we will tahe take the principle plo pie of tithing which he teaches and app apply I 1 y his own words to it ing only the words tithing anti and lamoni for wa i O 1 premising that we vre do not thal that true tuua 11 murmon alu ism does exist in ia lamoni lamona nf mormonism exists outside ana aaa away from lamoni lamont without the system tem tom of tithing gf therefore such system la is not essential to the exist ence and extension of mormonism if many mor mons in lamoni lamont are not in the pra a tice of tithing then mormonism niam exists in lamoni lamont without buch bach by system stem therefore the system is not essential to mormonism even buch such being thu case ease tithing is not nati native veto to mormonism and does not inhere in it the bame same arguments J used by mr smith can be made to apply to everything added to the creed of the church since I 1 its a organization in 1830 we stand on the ground laid down in the paragraph which mr smith has tried to brevert pr evert that Is whenever the nond lond reveals anything to this church it becomes as soon as received an integral part of the tho creed and an intrinsic feature of the system the latter latten day saints c reed creed is not bound up in any fixed number of articles in the ian lau language cf the prophet joseph in the articles of faith and to which few words mr smith pretends to subscribe igwe we believe all that god has revealed sill all that he does now reveal and we believe that he will yet reveal many great an important things pertaining to the kingdom of god ja and when thebe these important things are revealed they will become became ss as essential and intrinsic parts of the system called mormonism as catbe the first principles of the gospel taught taugh t on the 6 ath th day of april 1830 if not then mr smith to be do consistent si must discard everything that has been added to or developed develop eci by the church since that day this would set aside all the quorums of the holy priesthood all the erdl bances nances or of the lae except baptism and confirmation all the revelations lations concerning the building up of cf zion Z on the erection creation of temples the endowments and bea sea dealings lings and adoptions and covenant cotenant sand svery every hing revealed from on high for th perfection of the bainte saints the gathering of israel the glory of zion and her municipals pals and the consummation of the grand work of the dis dispensation pensa tion of the ful nere nera of times the tipe gmt great objection of which we haye hate to nind and tik with ith mr air mith alth M most of the advocates of the 1500 lety he represents is a bling spirit manifested in sharp trick tricky y methods of wresting and twig twisting ting the words of an opponent and a desire to appear smart in taking advantage of such buch perversions it Is mure more in the nature of special pleading in a police court than reasoning in the case of truth it to is out of place in a religious religions journal and both the matter and manner of mr smiths attempts at argument show that he Is labnao anao quain quainter ted with the system of which his martyred marty red father laid the foundations and which under the direction of almighty god brigham young john taylor and others of his bis fathers close associates have been en developing and exi extending ending that thai it may rally accomplish the objects for which it was divinely designed |
