WHY DO TREY COMPLAIN?

The situation in which the Mormon
in Utah finds himself placed is indeed
q trying one-a situation that nearly
everybody bat the Mormon thinks it
would be the easiest thing in the world
from which TO extricate himself. The
more thoughtless say: why, all that
is needed is for the first Presidency to
have a revelation commanding the
practice of polygamy to stopfand the
whole question is settled" If the Nor
mon prophets all along had been cum
ming, vile impostors, to have a reyels-
ton at Will is easy enough. II the
Mormon people were as basely insincere
in their religious convictions as those
evidently are who advise them to this
course. the people might hail such
revelation with delight. But so far We
have seen nothing in the deport-
ment of the Mormon prophets to war
rant Us in believing they are
set of vile impostors, hence they will
announce no revelation except God
shall give one; aud tor him to give one
repudiating or suspending a doctrine
that He has revealed, is scarcely prob
able. For God tc wave the practice of
a principle until the people in the
United States shall get in better humor,
and give their gracious consent to allow
Gods revelations to be practiced by
those to whom the commandment was
given, Is infinitely more absurd than
was the proposition to Csesar's mind,
which said:
Break up the Senate TIL another time.
When Cesar's wife shall meet with better |
dreams
The people on their part have pro-
fessed a personal knowledge of the
divinity of Gods revelation, and that
might lead to q rejection
Of any supplemental revelation
that their spiritual leaders might
profess to have commanding q
of any principle which God
had formerly given as an eternal cove
nant; unless they, too, have been guilty
Of base Hypocrisy. If the Mormon
people, together with their spiritual
leaders, elect to be true to their former
professions, let no unkind opponent
attribute that action to want OF
respect to our republican institutions;
it is not so. The devotion of the Nor
mon people to those institutions is
written in deeds that cannot be set
aside by the declarations of interested
politicians. 1t is not that the Mormons
love their country and its institutions
less, but that they love their religion
more. that impels them to cling TO
what they honestly believe to be the
of their God rather
than yield to the mandates of the
-.
After all. is the Mormon,s
course any different TO what
The consistent Christians would be IL
be were placed in the same posihon?
Lives there true Christian who would
not say that his first duty was to his
Sod and then to his country II Nor
mons then are but carrying out in
practice what Christians claim to be
correct in theory. why do Christians
complain against the Mormons, and ac-
use them Of being unfriendIy against
'ur republican institutions7 In the
it appears to fall to the Nor
mons lot to suffer until God or the
country shall come to his relief; but no
rue man, much less if he be Chris
ian. will gioat with iendish glee over
he Mormon's suffering, as the practice
II some is. |,
