Then the minister threw water over

water up to her chin. while the min
lister prayed that her name might be

was given to the brethren that night
she acknowledged that she felt much

A REVELATION.

Once there was a good old Mormon
Bishop. who had only one wife. This
at first may not appear TO be very
startling statement. but IL must be re-
membered that this particular bish-
op lived in Utah at the time when
plural matrimony was N, rule and
not the exception, especially with bish-
ops, WHOM expected, in this respect
at least. 10 set a bright example to
the church members in their sever Il
wards. Most bishops had several
wives, and any one OF the episcopal
rank who limited himself to one was
looked upon as a freak. Indeed. this
good old bishop was even more Sc
yerely criticised. 1t was openly alleg-
ed that his shameful neglect of his
matrimonial opportunities was a ser
ious stumbling block to some OF the
weaker brethren. When the doctrine Of
pologamy was first taught in Zion
many of the Mormons, while accepting
the theory, were slow to indulge in It's
practice, making various excuses gen
orally ran thus: Look at our Bishop.
He has only one wife"
And ii came tO pass that one day the
Bishops two c6unselOrs came to see
him and said they desired to take
counsel" with him.
Come into the trent room" said
the bishops wife, and l will cali
