beneficial to him. We trust that
he will succeed.
During the civil war, as we'll as in

MORMONiSM.

written Of late about riorrtonism.
Since tle election OF Mr.. B. H.
Roberts, Of Utah, to Congress, the
pulpit, political and religious press
have thundered against said cleo
ton and all religious bodies, no.
tably, the Christian Endeavorers
have unanimously passed resolu-
tions to Congress asking that cof-
gressman-eieet Roberts be un-
seated.
This question has two Sides.
One political, the other moral.
Utah came into the Union for
political purposes. When it was
admitted, polygany was to ceas-
ed. In fact Congress passed law
to that effect, the Edh1unds-Tuck-
er Act, which now It is said has
never been enforced but in part.
Consequently Congress is res
ponsible for the state of affairs in
Utah today.
That the officers of the United
States who were sworn to enforce
the above act have not done so-
we infer there were political reasons
for not doing 1t.
But now that a triamist Ii. e. a
man with three wives) has been
elected to Congress and it may be
that no political reasons are exist
ing today, there COMES the thun-
defs 81 the pulpit and the press
in general, crying the moral side
of the question.
II is grievous sin, shame
and a disgrace, blot upon the ma
tion, 1t is unlawful, to all OF which
we concur.
THE morals of the nation are
in danger OF it and the people are
aware 81 it I" 80 says the Times
Star, Cincinnati, Ohio.
And we concur in that state:
!. inent.
But, let US be allowed to say tina,
thouali- grievous as this sin is, il
IS al open sin, and that if the law
had hsea plofced, this sin wouie
have deasAd to exist and woule
not be- i disgrace and shame
upon of tair country.
Nov, we are partisans Of th'
pulpit, roiikical and religious pres
warning che people Of great mora
dangers, and we, would be glad t
see these tHised above forces thuh
3erfnr ataikst another grieyou
sin, which works in the darknes
and undermines the morals of tn
nation to a greater extent tina

Away with artifciality. Give us sim
certify. Our education in modern So
ciety is largely away from nature. We
make false pretenses. We paint pale
cheeks rosy and make dark compilations
alabaster white. We ask people TO call
again, when in our hearts we hope they
will not and say for politeness sake we
have had fine time when we have been
fairly miserable. We pass compliments
to please peoples vanity and give rec
concentrations which are mountain high
aboye facts. All this is bad, to say the
least. 1t robs the individual OF much OF
his charm, for of all human characters
tics none is more beautiful than sin
certify. In our hearts we despise sham
and pretense, even while we treat it re-
spectfully. The painted belle of fashion
is an object of comment, but not of adj
mirstion. The preacher who spreds the
wings of the eagle and talks in affected
tones does not arouse the conscience or
win the heart. All his rhetorical finery
is not worth An ounce of good, straight
forward sincerity. We plead for re-
vival of truthness to nature. We pray
our young people to be simply and I'M
affectedly what they are. We ask them
to remember that people $50 through
trappings and drapery down into the
soul. II they find there simple, true,
sincere personality, the individual has
their confidence. What he says will be
respected. Wherever he goes he will
win his way. For sincerity is like love.
