The NJ rman Elders are holding
then meeting in the Cheekville
schoolhouse. Our churches do not
seem to be SO warmly inclined to-
ward the brethren of the seven
wives faith. Your correspondent
however is on the fence in this
matter. We notice that the Scrip.
lures teach by example that it is
right to have many wives if you
can get them and keep them, and
then the same Scriptures teach us
! by way Of exhortatlon that one
wife az time is enough for one
man, We are made to believe that
tht teschirg by example was by
persons that needed experience
and the other was by persons who
either had the experience or were
speaking from the experience of
others II We belonged to either
cIass it is the last two, for our per
sOnal experience teaches us that
one Wif8is sbOut ten times as man,
y az an ordinary frIow like myself
can properly take care Of, and
when we look, around at some
who have tired plural marriage,
we cannot envy them their position
although we are like most Of the
men YOU meet, we love and admire
the fair sex. yet we believe when
you try to expand and love enough
to encircIe more than one vile that
your affections are impaired and
does NJ one good. However, we
cheerfuly give the church all the
credit due them for the good they
may accomplish III the world, even
il we are little shaky on some Of
their old habits.
