and again by witnesses under oath and
by the refusal of Elder PenrOse tn an
swer this leading question. The con-
tempt with which these Mormon elders
treat the laws and institutions Of the
United States is equaled only by their
audacity in partly denying their creed
and under the clOak of submission
seeking to overthrow the will of the
nation and found a government of their
own upon the creed of immortality and
prostitution.
Polygamy is an institution conceived
i'm the very depths of hell, born of beast
liness and sensualism, il still lives and
we believe is still taught as a part of
the Mormon creed. The vows of the
endowment house are of unGying hatred
and hostility To the laws of the land,
vows which acknowledge no authority
higher than the Mormon church, and
which are binding tu the third n
fourth generations.
