where each couple will be sealed the
one to the other forever forever by
the beautiful ceremony pronounced in
such cases. Among the tenets of the
Morpon church is an acknowledgment
of the civil law and rigid obedi-
ence to the regulations of the laws of
the country. Their religious faith,
however, goes, much further than this,
especially as to marriage. They be-
lieve in common with with all law
abiding people that the marriage Ger :
emony should oe performed by some
minister or civil officer who is duly
empowered ny law to oficiate. but
they also believe that by complying
strictly with the requirements OF the
Bible and the Book of Mormon and
teachings of the church, parties con-
tracting marriage, may be sealed to
each other in their own physical per-
sonality, for all eternity. They be-
lieve that the civil ceremony is or
dained of God for the good of .man's
earthly career, but, should the parties
desire, the way is clear to make the
contract unending even by death.
