Salt Lake Democrat | 1885-10-12 | Page 2 | An Opinion Bishop Sharp

An Opinion on Bishop Sharp. Bishop John Sharp is the sharpest man in Utah, it must be confessed. Being shrewd enough to see that Mormonism has got to an end of its rope, he M'alks into Court and pleads guilty, with a supplement to the effect that he never will sin against the law again. The Court, knowing as well as Sharp, the influence in-fluence of the latter among the lowly of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, let John off -with a reprimand".. Now there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the high-priests because of Sharp's backsliding. The day is not far distant when these same unctuous unc-tuous old polygamists will cry out for the rodks and the hills to fall upon them, because be-cause they were such fools as to deride the calculating John Sharp, Bishop, and refused to follow his wise advise.
