Of the North, to stay the extension Of slav-
cry to new territories - 10 rescue from its
control the federal yoyernment-and so TAR
as can DO properly done, to kindly aid the
citizens Of the South in peacefully Fastening
it's end, as system unjust in itself, and un.
worthy this great republic, be invited to as

You mention in your letter that Paul, the
Apostle, recommended that his bishops be
the husband Of one wife. Why this was
the case do not know, unless II was as he
says, that while he was among Romans, he
did us Romans did. Rome, at that time,
governed the world, as il were and, al.
though gross idolators, they held 10 the one
wife system. Under these circumstances,
no doubt the Apostle Paul, seeing great
many polygamisis in the church, recon.
mended thai they had better choose for this
particular temporal Office, men Of small
families. who would not be in disrepuie
with the government This is precisely
our course IN these countries where Roman
institutions still bear sway. Our elders
there have but one wife, in order TO con-
FORM 10 the laws OF men.
You inquire why Elder w. when a, your
house, denied thai the Church Of this age
held to the doctrine OF plurality. In answer,
that he nigh, have been ignorant OF the
fact, as our beliefon this point was no, pub
lished ill 1882 And bad he known II, he

ignorance and prejudice Of the nations Of
