MoRMoNIsM IN New YoRx.-Pacards. in the
various public places of the city, announced on Sat
urday last, that DR.. Bennett and Mr.. Divine, of
Pittsburg, would preach at the Of Lispenard
street and Broadway, on Sunday morning, noon,
and evening. As we anticipated, from the pains
thus taken to make the circumstance public that
some extraordinary revelations would be forthcom-
ing in these days of religious discoveries and con-
roversies, we deemed it but our duty to inform our
readers OF whatever might transpire but we regret
that those who seek after startling and novel doc
trlnes will, in this instance be disappointed, not
that the doctrine that these people profess is not
even in this age of fanaticisml, most extraordinary
yet 1t wants the gloss Of novelty which proves so
attractive to many minds who cannot rest satisfied
with that faith which our forefathers from time i'm
memorial have proessed. 1t appears that there has
been schism in the Mormon Church, and many
members have Withdrawn themselves from the orr
ginal association in Illinois, disguised, they say
by the mmoralities and gross RIGHTEOUSNESS that
prevail among the old, original sect in their Holy
City. But though they have Withdrawn from their
brethren they have by no means given up the srti-
original creed. They think that Joe Smith was
really and truly inspired prophet but that by his
course offe, he fell off from his divine character land
devices Of the enemy They also believe that the
Bible and Testament are holy and inspired works,
but that some of the texts which clash with the
fallh are badly translated, and they also think thai
the Kingdom Of Saints Ii not only at hand, but alb
souteiy in existence at this day They Strengthen
their opinions on this point by various prophecies il
the book of Daniel and the Revelations, and argue
that many prophecies therein given, have yet to be
fulfilled Their object In preaching here, is to gam
proselytes TO their cause. and found another settle
ment IN Ohio, where they can live In peace and har-
mony; They number about fifty now, and hope soon
with the ala OF their preachers, to increase to lar
ger congregation.
On arriving at their place of meeting
we found about thirty in all, of which half
were women and children, and the services were
commenced by singing hymn which was followed
by prayer, and after more singing, BROTHER BEN
NETT addressed them In quite lengthy discourse,
IN which he said that no person who has studied the
testimony OF the prophets, which has been transmitted
| to US, as the discourse between God and man. and
who looks abroad at the state of the times and the
signs foretod by the Son Of God and his Apostles but
must admit and believe that are living in an
epoch pregnant with magnificent results. He would
ask why must such differences force themselves on
us! Because there are certain declarations in the
sacred records which lead inevitably to these con-
clusions When the Son OF Man was on earth, he
no man ever taught before. He made known to
them those eternal principles an extent that none
ever had before hm-prnciples that must be living
ones IN all those who ever hope to dwell with Him
who sits on high. We live in an age when those
with whom we have daily intercourse confess that
they believe the testimony of the Prophets and Apos
ties, and all things contained IN the Bible. There
are individual exceptions, but this is the general
profession; yet when we come to scan the matter
Closely and examine more infinitely, we find a
great variety Of religious faiths existing among those
believers. They profess the Bible is the only rule
for practice; yet we find great diversity OF opinion
such disagreements exist! We must inevitably
conclude there must be mistake in the starr. 1t is
impossible that men have clear chart OF principles
to govern them, they cannot all credit that chart,
and this must be the conviction. But we maintain
that the Bible does teach truly the way of life,
and in these records pointed out the prn
cpes by which they will be the recipients of the fa
vor and spirit Of God He went on at some length
to show that the Bible was true guide to heaven.

the prophecies with the doctrines set forth by the
