THERE is much truth in the saving
''The longer one lives the more they
learn" There is nothing strange in this.
but it is the remarkable strange things
that a person learns. We were never
aware of the fact, till the other day. that
the Lord has five wives. He is polyg-
amist This is what one of the brethren
from lower Utah informed us the other
day, and when asked show he knew
that ?" he answered that President
Taylor and party told them so. - This is
the kind of false and absurd arguments
that the old frauds of the Mormon Church
use among the ignorant of their flock to
convince them polygamy is the only tue
doctrine. This sort of talk INDUCED in
by the priesthood of the Mormons NAV
seem ridiculous to one unacquainted with
the cunning practices of the Mormon
priests. When asked how they know
this to be the case? they will answer
that apostle so.and-so, or some other
way-up fraud, had a revelation. This
answer satisfies the people. However,
we will state for the benefit of our dear
Lincoln county Mormon friends, that
there can be no dependence placed on
these revelations, and as a verifcation of
this assertion, we will give an illustration
of revelation which we had about six
years ago We were lying in bed awake,
when the Lord appeared and grasped us
by the hand, and placing his left hand on
our pure, white brow, He said: "My boy,
rest not uneasy, for brother - - of
Panaca in three days will be up and pay
you that &c." After waiting for four
years for brother - to come and pay
Sc for back subscription, and he not APP
pearing, our faith in revelations has been
on the wane ever since. But the Lord
may have made a mistake and entered
the wrong house. Brother -- may
have owed some other person Sc. 1t is OF
common occurrence for person to enter
wrong house.
