What MOrmOnism Il.

The Mormon theology, as expounded
by Joseph Smith and perfected by Brig
ham Young, is fantastic compound Of
doctrines and practices borrowed from
almost every form Of religion the world
has known. Mr.. J. II. Beadle, long a
resident of Utah, in a book on the Nor.
MONS published some years ago, says
"They are Christians in their belief In
the New Testament and the mission of
"Christ; Jews in their temporal theo.
cracy tithing, and belief in prophecy !;
Mohammedan in regard to the relation
"of the sexes, and Voudoos or Fetichists
" in their witchcraft, good and evil spirits,
faith doctoring and superstition. From
"the Buddhists they have stolen their
" doctrines of apotheosis and develop
ment Of gods; from the Greek mythol-
"ogy, their loves Of the immOrtals and
"spirits. They have blended the ideas
o. of many nations of polytheists, and
made the whole consistent by outdoing
Z" the materialists " The active conflict
going on between the various Christian
sects at the time of Joseph Smith pro-
claimed new revelation, seems TO have
led to his borrowing variety of contrc-
vertcd doctrines from sources Immediate
ly at hand. Thus the Mormon theology
takes from the Methodists their "witness
of the spirit" from the Disciples their
4" first principles, from the Presbyterians
I" their universal suffrage" from the
Second Adventists their belief in the
speedy coming of Christ's kingdom, and
from the Catholics their doctrine Of an
iufallible head of the church. In their
faith that only small portion Of man.
kind will tail of ultimate salvation the
Mormons are almost Universalists, and
in their idea of the nature OF Christ they
might be called Unitarians Their no.
tion that unseen powers produce physi-
cal manifestations on earth brings them
in accord with modern spiritulists, and
their belief in evil spirits allies them with
the ancient Manicheans.-N y. Tribune.
