Copy of tho Oniciai Record OF II Church
Divorce Case.
Mormons recognize two classes OF
divorces, as well as two kinds Of mar
riagca, writes q correspondent Of tho
st. Louis Globe Democrat from Salt
Lake City, L. Il. One separates for life;
tho other for the future state. For
divorces Of husbands and first wives the
civil courts arc rcsortcd to. Plural
wives havo 10 standing in civil courts.
This was decided by tho United States
huprcmc Court in tho case brought BIZ
Ann Eliza against brigham Young. Tho
only divorce remedy for plural wives is
through the church. Being invested
with supreme authority 10 unite, tho
president Of the church, can unlouscn.
Church divorce is Il logical result of
the doctrine of plural and celestial
marriage. Plural wives would be badly
oil Ii there was not some way Of throw
ing oil u gazing yoke. Besides this,
people married for eternity, If it. was
not Tor tho church divorce, would bc
left tied together for the next world,
although they Obtained absolute divorce
i'll civil court. Parties scaled for
ctcrni'y, after Obtaining civil court
divorce, must br un,oa!clb by tho church
"r cisc they will find themselves still
joined together in the resurrection.
Mormons who have been spiritually
married and then divorced by the civil
courts may rcmarry for this world. But
the women can not rrmhIry for eternity
