THE HINDoos OF INDIA ARE MdgMoNs I
/, :. PRINCIPLES AND BELIEF.
Ill We believe in polygamy; we depend TO
salvation upon our own deeds; we pro
pitiate the spirits of the dead: w
anolnt and bless the limbs of both sexe
d before they are united in matrimony
But, as We are slaves of ignorance anC
prejudices, so are the Mormons. Whel
people asked me if | were converted Il
Mormonism, said that was born ,
Mormon, and belonged to the church O
thousands of years standing. The so
called MormOns are only of forty-fve
years standing, made by man and no
by God. We are God-made Mormons
e and therefore date far back into eternity,
We do not come from Adam and Eve
We have no Abraham for our forefather
Our torefathers were illustrious person
J ages, superior in knowledge and intellect
They did not sit down, telling cat and doc
stories like those related in the Mormon
and Christian Bibles Our prophets were
moi Jugglers and conjurers and dreamers
. like Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith.
They were live-born without fathers: no
holy spirit cohabited with their mothers.
They found no tablets buried under
ground. Nothing prophesied and moth
ing fulfilled. Our gods never stood in
need of witnesses and proofs to establish
their identity and existence.
THE CHRISTIAN AND THE MORMON RELIGIOUS
BOOKS ARE CoNCoCTED,
And rotten to the core. They no doubt
lnculcate noble principles, but practice
the same amount of deception and fraud.
Ii IS very good for missionary to preach
70 others, but who will preach to him?
Our religion teaches us one principle
sublime, Know thyself, - Work out
thy own salvation" Our gods tell us
that they cannot save US; we must
not depend upon Moses, Abraham or
Christ. Our prophets and law-givers
We're OF different calibre. Our Lord
Krishna, which is a contemporary
name with Christ, had 10000 wives.
Polygamists in India unite all souls
INTO one and sleep together. A man
with two or three wives has one bed for
them all. He sleeps with two on one
SIDE and two on another But the Nor
mon system in this country is quite differ
ent. A Mormon polygamist builds sep
arate house for each bird of his heart, and
visits them periodically, but the Hindoo
polygamist is united to all. While he
reeds one, he talks another to sleep, lust
as a mother does when she has so many
children around her-she dresses one and
undresses another; she feeds one and
swings the cradle of another; she kisses
one and pats another; she embraces one
and frowns on another. The Hindoo
polygamist occupies the same position
towards his numerous wives But the |
Mormon is an inferior being He is not
unity, yet he breaches universally, but
practices personality as far as his position |
as husband is concerned. He confers
on his wives embraces, proportionallv
cold or warm,
ACCORDING TO THEIR BEAUTY AND YOUTH.
Mormon husband is always suspected
by his wives. |, therefore, commend our
system OF polygamy to those who NAV
wish to grow into universal brotherhood.
1t was in 1879 that 1 first heard the
word Mormon. | was talking to some
Europeans and finding fault with their
narrow-mlndedness. l advocated the
OF independence of thought and
action. L said that if a woman wanted
10 be married to man who is
already married, she should not .
be prevented from doing so. /
also maintained that if man wanted to
De married to woman who is already
married, he should be at liberty to do so !
he chooses, so that he and she may en- {
oy equal rights. In that case, there will c
De found many wUIuen married to several I
husbands and many men with many S
wives. Our renowned, pious and virtuous a
ady, by name Dropadi, had five hus- v
bands. Their relations with Dropadi !
we're so unique that she was the admira- !
ion of all. She was allotted to each by a
wo months and odd days, during which s
line she was the wife of one while the L
,ther four treated and respected her as a
heir mother. Even to-day, at the foot of n
he Himalaya mountains. and in Malabar I
md Travancore, in India, live tribes and b
people who have more than one husband "
o one woman. l believe this institution Il
nobler and more refined than the con- s;
erted Mormon system OF polygamy. I q
would therefore earnestly ask earnest Z
evout and sincere Mormons to equalize II
9th men and women in respect of plur- b
lily of bondages. @
