And Brigham ans~era:

blood Of Christ viii never wipe that out-Jour
own blood must atone for it."
Nanaeleas marked md unmarked graves bear
witness that these fearful men have hAd the
nerve to carry out their ideas in
action. By these means have they
broken the spirit n{ their women. And now
they throw open their hArem to the ''degrsaed

He says:
"Our government Was wisely instituted for
the protection OF the weak against the strong,
to protect ali in the enjoyment OF political,

HOW THEY REGARD TIE BIBLE
Sometime may write you concerning the
origin Of modern polygamy, for you must
know, that. after all their professions Of res
pect for the Bible, they care nothing about it.
They do not 80 to it to get
polygany. That WAS special
gift and command Of God to them. Brigham
ssys he can make Scripture, indeed he can
talk it, only let him revise it when it gets cold
He has theology, as absurd as anything ever
invented on earth, which derives very little
aid and comfort from the Bible. Speaking
about it October q, 1853. be said:
You believe Adam was made Of the dust Of
this earth This do not believe fou can
write that information to the States II yun
please-shat have publicly declared that
/ do not believe that portion
OF the Bible as the Christian world
do. I nerer did, and never want to. Because
Ihaye come to understanding, and banished
from my mind all the baby stories my mother
taught mo vhrn Has rhtht.''
Brigham doa't believe the Bible further
than It suits luis purpose, and that, il you hear
me, is but i very little way. DoGaLa.
