In order to rightly understand what
Re.organized Mormonism is, and will be,
it will be necessary to understand what it
was before it was disorganized. And as
[ was member of it in the days of the
first Joseph Smith, do know much of
what it then was.
do know that the "Danite Band Cor
Destroying Angels as they were some
times cailedD, was organized under the
immediate supervision, and by the full
sanction of the first Joseph Smith for
was present at the meeting and heard him
give it it's name from Genesis, 40, II,
where it says of Dan, that he should be
a serpent by the why and an adder in the
path, that should bite the horses heels
and make his rider fall backward.
And do know that Joseph Smith did
introduce polygamy into the church of
Latter Day Saints (called Mormons) for
he taught it to me himself, and so did his
brothers Hyram and William, and / was
acquainted with nine women who have
admitted to me that they were Joseph
Smiths wives. And when the rcorgani-
zed Latter Day Saints tell the people
that Brigham Young is the author of
polygamy among the Mormons, they do
know that they are telling base false
hood to deceive. For the revelation
of Joseph Smith, dated July 18th, 1912,
makes polygamy binding on all who be-
lieve him to have been true prophet at
that time, on pain of eternal banishment
from God if they reject it. Hence all
recognized must receive it as a cardinal
point in their faith, CT renounce Joseph
Smith as false prophet when he gave
the revelation. For it says Gn speaking
of polygamyl, that those who receive
fullness of glory "must and shall abide
the law, or they shall be damned, saith
the Lord God"
Then for these young Josephites to be
telling the people that they are re c-organ-
izins the old Mormon Church, but are
going to leave out polygamy, is all deep
hypocritical deception to blind their
eyes; for according to the reySeation
itself, no one can reject it and be
saved.
And if the people wish to establish
polygamy in their midst with the DANTE
Band, (Which are parts Of old Mormon
ISM then let them continue to encourage
re organized Mormonism and if they
wish a re occurrence of those awful
scenes and tragedies acted out in Missou-
ri and Illinois, let them continue TO en-
courage those recognized Mormons until
they can get their plans fully matured,
and then you can have them at your full
hearts content; for William W Blair
(who is one of its chief apostles, and now
on this coast, and who was jealous
preacher under William Smith when
their leading Elders were swapping
wives, and his presiding Elder was ar
rested and about to be sent to the State
Prison, and they were engaged in secret
ly swearing In their members to sustain
their leading Elders under all circumstan-
ces), has already stated that re- re-organized
Mormonism will yet attain unto tempo
raj dominion, and if so, and it is old Nor
monism reorganized the people can easily
sec what must follow.
Look at the number of cattle already
stolen in Sonoma county by a member of
the Petaluma branch Of the re. re.organized
Latter Day Saints.
Look at that awful tragedy, recorded
in last weeks papers, of the murder oc
Mrs. Wilford, who had recently renoun-
ced Mormonism, and was found on the
9Th of this month with her throat cut
to have been done by the .'des-
Eroying angels"
And have no doubt but what I am
hazarding my own life 10 developing these
things; but having once been member |
Of the re-organized Latter Day Saints
church, L know what it is and do feel |
It to be duty that owe to God and to
my fellow man, to warn them not to have
re-organized again in their
midst for the old Mormon Church was
rejected of God for its denominations, and
should be by every honest heart, and /
10 hope that the good sense of the people
will not suffer it recognized again; for
,ven in this city there are scenes of
transpiring among the re-
Saints that would shock this
Christian community If they knew the
acts and every virtuous woman would
hun them on the streets, and would
Iever 90 to ny of their meetings, or be
cen in their society for more than one
,alf of the old sister Saints of the re-or-
.anized church in this city have been
eparated from their husbands, and that
lot by the hand OF death.
And it is an undeniable fact that even
he prophet of the re-organized Saints
fill lie and prevaricste to accomplish his
bject.
And Elder e. G. Briggs Cone Of their
when on this 6oast did join in
base and slanderous lie to swindle an
ged and industrious brother out of his
money.
And VIM. w. Blair, one Of their chief
apostles, did publicly lie before their
