OUR CHICAGO LETTER.
The "MOrmonv Doctrine Preached
by Moody, the Evangelist.

. AaA-El u ia
a communities, He preached OF
: the second coming OF Christ
!. His language has no equiv
4 ocation or ambiguity about it.
5 Orthodox preachers are abusing him,
3 and strict sectarians are calling him
: a "MorriiUn,'' follower of Joseph
: Smith, ETC.; and really his sermon
is well worth perusing, especially by
Utah citizens. Inasmuch rs this
sermon was delivered to a vast and
attentive congregation, it is n good
index Of what is coming, and will
show to Latter-day Saints that light
is breaking. On several coca
sions heretofore / have stated
! that Mr.. Moody was borrowing
largely from "MormOn'' doctrine
and "MormOn" discipline. His
Bible Institute is now completed and
in full working order. He is train
ing 600 students, male and female,
for evangelical work. This Institute
is simply a "Mormon" Sunday
school on large scale. The work,
teaching, discipline and doctrine he
has taken bodily from the ''Mor-
mon" Church, and some day he will
perhaps say -. An his sermon Of
last Sunday makes much better
reading than that about prize-fght-
ing or baseball playing, cannot |
DO better than submit heightened /
extract from it, as published in one |
OF our local papers, and one too es-
pecially inimical to Latter day
Saints and to Utah. Here 1t is:

sermon. at is called controversial 4
subject don't propose TO take i mp |
in that way. Christian people are all /
agreed that the Lord will return. The |
time Of His coming is alone in doubt.
The pre-millenialists say that Christ l
VIII return 10 reign over the world and /
set up His Kingdom among US for a
thousand years. The ost-milleniaiists
say that the world will grow beiterand
better until Christ will hs drawn right
down here frofh Heaven. believe
that Christ is going to reign here on
earth Man will have his day and then
Christ VIII come and reign. What il
our watches do not agree as to the I
time? Take that grand old First Cor
lnthians. Behold, / show You mys-
terry. We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed in a moment IN 4
the twinkling OF an eye.' Paul
believed that not all Of us should
die. In the fourteenth chapter OF John
Christ says; Fer ! 90 to prepare A
place fer you, and i'll 20 and prepare |
