MORMON ABOMINATIONS.

From file of the Deseret News, from
March llth to the 30th, we clip seve-
raj extracts from Sermons by Brigham
Young and his satellites as specimens
Of the Gospel preached to the Nor
mons:
WOMEN sCBoRpINATE; THE WOMAN WHO RULES
HER HUSBAND CANNOT ENTER HEAVEN.
Had | copied the style of address
adopted by the fashionable world. /
might have said, Ladies I'd gentle
men," placing the fair in the van, but
as this would only be to reverse the
order of our being through life's thorny
way ordained and established by Heav-
ems law, | have felt, and still feel, to
observe the spirit of that law and that
order, not only in my manner Of ad-
dress, but in all the varied duties, re-
sponsibilities and pleasures of life
The hypocritical respect lavished upon
females by the etiquette Of the world
in pushing them forward, and exciting
their vanity by making them most
conspicuous in all the novels and ro-
mances which, like 50 much trash,
have flooded society and cursed the
land, is only to make them a more
easy prey to the unbridled sensuality
and ungodly lusts of their benighted
authors. Flattery is food for the silly
and shallowbrained, but wise heart
and pure hand will never admister it.
The order of Heaven places man in
the front rank hence he is to be ad-
dressed first. Woman follows under
the protection of his counsels, and the
superior strength of his arm. Her de-
sire should be unto her husband, and
he should rule over her. will here
venture the assertion, that no man
can be exalted to a celestial glory in
the kingdom of God, whose wife rules
over him and as the man is not with
out the woman, nor the woman with
out the man in the Lord, it follows, as
a matter of course, that the woman
who rules over her husband, thereby
deprives herself of a celestial glory
SECRECY is ENJolSED-THE SISTERS LEAkf
VESSELS.
l now wish to particularize little,
and will commence by asking whether
any persons here are sick, and if so,

thing that he cannot tell me-" Do
some of you men know something
that you cannot tell your wives 80,
l have received something in the en-
dowment that dare not tell my wife,
and do not know what to do about
it," The man who cannot know mil
lions of things that he would not tell
his wife, will never be crowned in the ce.
lestial kingdom, nerer, NEVER, NEVER.
1t cannot be it is impossible. And
that man who cannot know things
without telling any other being ON this
earth--who cannot keep his secrets
and those that God reveals to him
never can receive the voice of the
Lord to dictate him and the people on
this earth.
Does br. Heber know things that
do not? Yes, facts that have slept in
his bosom from the time l first knew
him. Did he ever have a thought, a
wish, or desire to tell them to me p
No. Do know anything that should
