financial panic and the behind it than any of
the others that have endeavored to explain the exist

not due to the failure of few individual banks was
not caused by lack of public confidence in the banks
but caused by lack of confidence on the part
of men who conduct the banks.
They lacked confidence in themselves and in their
They feared that the reserve system would
break down and it did break down. Their appre-
tensions led them to believe that there would not

The Law of Polygamy.
For behold! I reveal unto you new and ever
lasting covenant; and if we abide not that covenant
then are We damned; for can reject this
covenant and be permitted to enter into my glory;
For all who will have a blessing at my hands shall
abide the law which appointed for that blessing
and the conditions thereof, instituted from
before the foundations of the world;
And as pertaining to the and everlasting cove
nant, it instituted for the funess of my glory;
and he that receiveth fulness thereof, must and
shall abide the law, or he shall be damned, saith
the Lord God.
Such is the preamble to a revelation from on high
given through Joseph, the seer, in Nauvoo, Han
cock County, Illinois, July 18th, 1843" according to
the Doctrine and Covenants" of the Mormon church.
beginning on page 463. Passing along through sixty
paragraphs of verbiage, the revelation" finally
reaches the kernel of the argument and the "com-
mand of the Lord" authorizing the institution of
polygamy is promulgated.
1t is denied by the descendants of Toseph Smith
founder of the church, that he gave the po1ygamy
revelation to his people, They claim that it was in
corporated in the Doctrine and Covenants after
his death and that it the production of carna1
mind. But the revelation still occupies its accus-
toned place in the literature of the Mormon church
and it is understood to be the last decree handed
down from high through the mediumshp of Jo-
seph Smith, who was killed in the year following
The later revelation" called ''the manifesto" ad-
visng the faithful to refrain from poygamous prac-
tce, proclaimed through MILFORD Woodruff presi-
dent of the church, is not accorded place in the
Look Of Doctrine and Covenants" of the Mormon
church and those that follow the teachings of the
book are given merely the polygamous utterance for
their guidance
The revelation" of July 12th 1043, contains also
a command to women to abide by the law as it was
through Joseph Smith, saying:
And again. verify, verify, say unto you, if any
man have a wife, who holds the keys Of this power
and he teaches unto her the law of my Priesthood
as pertaining to these things then shall she believe
and administer unto him, or she shall be DESTROYED
saith the Lord your God, for will destroy her. for
will magnify my upon those who receive and
abide in my law
The law as revealed permits man of the church
to take as many wives as he may care to select
The language is, rather command and the penalty
IF disobedence is everlasting damnaton 1t directs
woman to submit and the penalty of her dsobedi-
ence is eternal destruction. In its fuhllment it is
therefore soul-saving ordinance
The question is often asked how won1ankind can
accept the operation of the polygamous faith of the
hurch 1t is because of implicit belief in the doc
rne of the church and full faith that the fate of
he damned will be measured out to dissenters in
he hereafter
The revelation" was not transmitted through
woman. 1t was one of the masterstrokes of the sex
