TIIE MORMON DOCTRINES,

TO Till EDITOR OF Tug NORNIERN TIMES.
Sir,—On Sunday evening lust I, along with
several others, attended the Assembly Rooms of
the Mormons, hoGreat George-street. On arriving
there, we round it Ras their Conference. An elder
from Utah, of the name of Reay, was addressing
the audience ; amongst other topics he introduced
the plurality of wife system, which he described
as a great blessing, serip`ural, Godlike, &e.
Having been repeatedly informed by the "Saints"
that any questions we were desirous of asking, if
put on paper and sent up to the speaker, would be
aes,.vered, I wrote the folliwing on a slip of paper,
which I extracted from the Millenial Star, (vol. 3,
p. 73), being an article written by the late Patley
P. Pratt, one of their twelve ap.-,stles, who. was
,lately kilned for seducing the wife of NPLean, where-
in he tries to vindicate the character of their
prophet, Brigham Young (whom a female " saint"
christens " the Californian Prize Bull,") from a
charge made against him by Miss Martha Brother
ten of trying to seduce her, "by making her believe
that God had given a .revelation that men might have
two wives" "Bat, for the information of those
who may be assailed by those foolish tales about
the two wives, we would say that no such principles
ever existed among the LatierDay Saints, and never
will. This is well known to all who are acquainted
with our books and actions. The Book of Mormon,
Doctrine, and Covenants, and also ail our periodi-
calp, are very strict and explicit on that subject ;
indeed,few more so than the Bible."—Star, vol. 3,
p. 74.

- I then asked the question —" How do you
reNmeile the above with what you have been sta,':-
ing in favour cf the plurality of wives ?" This was
handed to a " saint," taken up to the speaker, but
no reply was given.

I, therefore, publicly call upon Elder Reay,
Orson Pratt, or any other miscalled " Latter-Day
Saint," to answer the question, and to show their
authlrity for upholding the plurality cf wives
system, seeing that it is condemned both by the
Book of Mormon and the B )ok of D )ctrines and
Covenants, as the f.)llowing will prove :
" -tad it c,-me to-pass that hiplakish did not do
that which was right in the sight of the Lori, fmr
ho did have many wives and concubines."—The
Book of Mormon, p 535.
" Inaimuch as this Church of Christ has been
reproached with the crimes of fornication and poly-
gamy, we declare that we believe that one man
should have one wife, and one woman but one
husband, except in case of death, when either is
at liberty to marry again."— Book of Doctrines and
Covenants, p. 339.
They wit no doubt pretend a revelation from
God in support cf their views, but I maintain that,
if their revelations were from God, that they would
not contradict each other as the Mormon revela-
tions do.

The of )resaid Elder Reay was loud in his praises
cf the Bible, he called it a " glorious'' book ; but
to show that this was only to blind the " Gentiles,"
and that they do not value the Bible cx.:.,ept for the
purpose of furthering their own ends, I quote the
following from their own works :

Brigham Young said to the people of Utah—
This congregation has beard Brother Orson
Pratt scan the validity of the Bible, and I thought
by the time he got through you would not think a
Bible worth picking up if you found one in the
streat. This we have known all the time,
but it suited my purpose very well when I was preach•
ing in the world.—Journal of Discourses, vol. 3,
p. 11_6.

- Heber C. Kimball says—"l would not care if there
was not a Bible within ten thousand miles of this
place—here are the oracles of God (pointing to the
men who surrounde,l him on the platform) living
right in our midst."—Journal of Discourses, vol. 3,
p. 197.
So much for the value that the Mormons attach
to the Bible.

Orson Pratt, (their so called Apostle,' followed
la ldor Reay, he said he would read a iew ♦erses
from a chapter in Isaiah if his eyes would permit
him. He stumbled several times over reacting
them, but at last accomplished the task. The
thought struok me, if he was an inspired man, as
he pretended to be, that he could have read the
verses without the least difficulty. Again, if his
eyesight was failing, and as the Moimo3s pretend
to work miracles, why do they not anusint his
eyes and restore them to their pristine vigour?
They have no excuse for the want of faith on the
part of their believed Apostle ; but the fact is,
their miracles are sheer humbug.
But to the point: He, Orson Pratt, on alluding to
the Indian mutiny, and to the atrocities perpe-
trated upon the Europeans, said, " That a
singular judgment had been excrei”.d upoc
the Europeans in India, for nlt suffering the
Mormon Missionaries to preach the everlasting,
gospel in that country, that they were so.per-
secuted, that at last the word of the Lord,
through the medium of their prophet, Brigham
Young, came forth, commanding tham to come
forth from out of India, and that now the Almighty
is pouring out the vials of his wrath upon the
heads of the Europeans far rejecting the servants
of the most High Gad. Ho then uttered a pro-
phecy, to the effect, that the time was nigh at
bawl, he could not say (although a prophet)
wheth-r it would be in 1837 or 1858, whe❑ Great
Britain would be visited by famine, pestilence,
war, and great tribn!ation, because of the rejection
of the gospel of Christ, which he denominated
Mormonism, and, after invoking blessings upon
the Saints, concluded his address Talk of Irish
Sepoyism, Mormon Sepoyism is ten times worse.—
Yours respectfully, CHARLES FERZ E.
Liverpool, 13th Oct. 1857.
