The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-05-27

Independence was rebaptized. Any
woman may marry Washington by
proxy, using an ordinary Mormon for
the proxy BY this method, George

Under the bslief that was a posi-
BILE convert, was given much litera-
ture. For five months high church
official taught me. After you are
baptized, your idea Of immortality is
gone; you are all good. Every Nor

and ranks as such In heaven. 5
Mormons never tell the truth about
their religion, and their dangerous
point is that they can make their re-
ligion so very attractive. Their creed
prevents the drinking Of tea, coffee,
liquor, the use of tobacco, and pro-
vides for the care Of the aged and the
paying of one-tenth to the church.
Joseph Smith was the son OF a for
tune teller and of a man who manipu-
lated crooked sticks to find gold. His
plausible proposition to his female
followers was: present your body as
a willing sacrifice" His life became
one of great criminality and as cloak
for his sins he evolved polygamy. In
1852 Brigham Young Rdeclared that
every Mormon must believe In polyga-
my or be eternally damned. Polyga.
my itself is reward and when a man
has four or five wives he has perform
ed some great service for the church.
Remember, that whenever you see a
Latter Day Saint, he is a Mormon.
There are 1000 or 5000 Mormans in
Michigan. Whenever az Mormon wo-
man marries, she getsl160 acres of land.
That's how man supports so many
wives. With five he has six farms.
AlMormon woman believes she has the
greatest honor ofsglory II she is the
wife OF man who hassmany.wives.
Mr.. Smoot said he honestly believed
polygamy Isl not taught In Utah.
This is hardly true, for his father and
his sister are polygamists.
It is part Of the!doctrine Of the Nor
mon church that the first wife must
place the hand of the second wife in
her husband s hand. II she does not do
it, death is her portion. You doubt?
1t is so, for disobedience is punishable
with death.
Polygamy Is still alive In Utah, and
will be hard to root out, but with
the help Of every woman in the land ,
we will root it out.
Now we have a:presidential election
on hand. II the kingdom of heaven was
at hand, and presidential election on
hand, heaven would have to wait.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, for all
he did to carry out the will OF his con-
stituency, might just.Cas well have
been the paid attorney OF Reed Smootl
The Mormons believe that our Lord
was polygamist; that shows how
closely polygamy is identified with
their religion. Brigham 81. Roberts
believes that. He is the man whom
the Mormons sent to congress and
whom the women OF the country sent
back to Utah. Yet Roberts is a CO.
worker, a co-traitor of Reed Smoot!
Every Mormon gives two years of
his life to the missionary service. The
young men are sent to Ann Arbor,
which graduates more Mormons than
any other college in the country. In
one Wisconsin town 1 found a Nor
mon woman prominent In the w. Q.

In Kentucky. There
were 10000 converts last year all over
the world. There were twenty Nor
mon elders in one meeting in Chicago;
nine at Lacrosse, and one of them to

fight us every inch.
Polygamy, murder and treason are
the cardinal principles of Mormonism.

1t may be necessary to cover this land

ask every woman to remember that
she has influence and to use it. Let
us match Mormonism with patriotism,
and then we will win this battle for
the glory Of God and the honor OF our
nation" (Applause.y 'h94 tFh
