PnlLADELpl1IA,i December ,5.-A small
body ofSsaints was gathered III Caledonia
Hall, on Pine street, above Second, last
evening to listen to the cheering words
sent by The Mormon prophets tof Utah
through missionary Of the Church to the
faithful ones residing in this city. The
missionary is NJ. B. shipp, who has been
workingin this section Of tho country for
three months or more. lie says he is sent
out like ull Mormon missionaries who 70

purse aud without scrip, depending on the
hospitality Of the people he labors among
for support. I'M 7E5'5t.i{|1
Concerning the statement that has been
frequently made since the passage Of the
Edmund's bill by Congress, that polygamy
is not q part OF the Mormon religion, but is
an ulcer introduced by Brigham Young,
Mr.. Shipp emphatically denies that it IS
the corner stone OF the Mormon Church,
the vital principle Of the religion and the
one idea upon which every saint will stake
bis worldly welfare. II is pronounced a
DIVINE revelation, and every protesting
saint is cnjoincd to practice polygamy, in
order to secure the highest degree Of happi-
ness in the life hereafter. 1t is not, how
ever, compulsory, heing merely matter Of
conscience and ability to support more
than one vile that persuades some. saints
TO embrace bolygamy, while others prac.
tlcc monogalny. The missionary is firm
in the belief that his Church cannot
be uprutted, as every saint is ready 10 give
up his lie rather than his religion. J
