"MoRMoNIsM" AS 1T is.

A great many people have heard OF
the sect called the 'Dunkards," whose
proper name, that which they call
themselves Is, The Brethren; but not so
many know that they have a magazine
called The Inglenook 1t is published
weekly at Elgm. Illinois and is a neat
and interesting publication, having a
wide circulation among The Brethren
and others. We have been favored with
copy Of the issue for May 80 and md
In It, among other live articles, the
first chapter OF a series entitled THE
Mormons."
The editor calls himself and his read
ers Nookers, and gives his own i'm
pressions Of his subject from a person
al visit to this city and his conyersa-
tons with people whom he met here.
But he did not take the usual course
Of tourists and draw Information as to
Mormon" beliefs from their opponents.
He was after something accurate TO
show what Il actually is. So he ration
ally reaches this conclusion. and offers
these sage remarks;
IL anybody ought to know the facts
and reasons OF a religious belief. it
should be the people themselves, those
who have given their lives 10 II. Their
testimony is worth all that malice, ig-
uorance or nippancy have 20 present.
Moreover, Intelligent readers are inter-
ested IN accuracy no matter how much
they may dissent from belief or the
facts IN the case. Il IS not often n in
deed AZ ALL that such a thing as this
gets before the public. Let a Mormon
appear IN a community preaching his
doctrine, and at once he 4 regarded as
a proper person 10 stone out OF The

limitation Of EVIL stories Is the ability
10 invent them. while perhaps not one

give anything like even an outline Of
what their victims believe"
The truth and justice Of that para
graph VIII be apparent 10 every sane
reader. And yet. strange 20 say, the
very opposite Is the usual course with
travellers and ordinary inQuirers They
accept the stories that suit their
tastes and comport with the common
understanding and 20 TO the enemies
Instead Of the opponents OF Mormon

rather than what Il IS. The Inglenook
remarks further on this subject:

While there has been no radical de-
parture from"the faith of the fathers"
the changes in the confession Of faith
tend TO place il more in accord with
the spirit Of the present age. The aim
Of the reyisers was to simplify the
creed, clear away obscuritles, and at the
same time preserve intact the essentials
OF the Presbyterian doctrine. There
was at first strong opposition from
those who feared the pruning knife
might cut too close and so weaken the
plant that had thryen so well, but the
conservatism Of the revsers allayed
fears and Inspired confidence, so that
the final result is almost unanimous In.

THE PRESBYTERIAN REVISION

The Presbyterians have fairly set
tied the question Of infant damnatlon
or salvation, es far as their creed is
concerned, They have agreed to be-
lleve that those who die In infancy are
among the elect. They also state that
none Is excused for not accepting Gods
offer Of salvation. and that no man Is
condemned except on account Of his
sin
These are radical changes Of the
creed. They are not as has been
maintained, merely clearer statement
Of faith. They are a change Of posi-
ton from the terrible doctrine that
God had, from eternity for his own
glory, selected some Of His children to
eternal hell fire, and that among these
so selected were a number Of small
children who, In this sphere OF exist
ence at least, had done neither good
nor evil. II was time to strike this
blasphemy from a so-called Christian
creed especially If the object is to do
missionary work among sane people.
OF course, the changing OF the creed Is
really confession that the craft has
been steered without sufficient knowl-
edge Of the course. For the true
doctrine, given by God to man, is not
like philosophical system which may
be perfected by man, as knowledge in
creases. II is rather a divine coin de-
| posted with the people Of God, to be
carefully used and guarded against
counterfeit You cannot improve on
a United States gold coin, or bank
note Any attempt TO do so would be
at your peril Nor can human In
genuty improve on the precious treas
ure Of truth deposited with the Church
for the salvation Of the world Still
when a denomination finds that It's
declared doctrines are not true, they
do well in dlscardng them.
But the Presbyterans should go fur
their In their revision. Since they adj
nit that infants are elect, they should
discard the ceremony OF sprinklng
them. Infant sprinkling was invent
ed on the understanding that children
are brought into the world with a
curse unon them which nothing but
holy water" could wash of The idea
originated IN paganism. but was readi-
ly Incorporated in the corrupt Chris
tian" theology that took the place Of
the sound doctrines proclaimed by the
first apostles Of Christ II has been
petpetuated, together with numerous
other superstitions OF similar origin.
The logical step would be to abolish
that useless rite
The Presbyterians should also adopt
the doctrine OF salvation after death:
for II II is true that no one viii be
condemned except for his own sin,
there must be some provision made,
whereby those who have not in this hfe
had an opportunity OF either accepting
or rejecting Christ's plan OF salvation,
viii be placed IN that position and
given that opportunity.
But perhaps the changes made are
but a beginning The truth has been
given to the world in this age with
great clearuess, through the inspired
men who were raised up, to be seers
and reyelators, and TO keep the lamps
trimmed and burning IN the sanctuary.
There is less excuse than ever, for any
one who loves the truth to be cropping
! in darkness.

Universal Leader.

Our creed makers and religious teach
ers have not yet discovered that relig-
ion and morality are the two halves of
one living thing, and you cannot kin one
without killing the other. Yet this is
the simple truth. Morality, or obedience
to moral law, Is at bottom a distinct,
conscious, or unconscious. recognition
OF spiritual world, Of a moral govern
ment which has a right to put It's COM
mand upon our consciences and our con-
duct.
