ORIGIN OF MORMONISM.

AS q so-called religious cult the
aggregation of fornicators and adulter-
ers at Salt Lake, Utah, is one of the
greatest riddles in all history. The
Roadway it has made in an enlightened
nation claiming to be Christians, as do
the people of the United States, is still
more puzzling to all thoughtful men
who profess to believe in and practice
the moral law. In the beginning the
Creator made all animated nature from
man down to the most insignificant
beetle that crawls in the dust, male
and female. He not only declared his
work was good, but commanded them
to go out and multiply and replenish
the earth and subdue it," And not
only that, but the command was clear
and specific to each variety to be true
to its kind and multiply after its own
order. No cross breeds, no mongrels
of any kind, no mixing of white and
black or the penalty of such crime will
tread close upon the heels Of the trans
gressor. At the fourth generation you
will rot out in your own corruption
and perish from the earth as race.
In the presence of these great funda-
mental laws Of creation can any man
of sound mind fail to see that the zone
man. one woman" idea was the domi-
nant law of our existence, and all who
violate it like the Mormons are the
enemies of God and will finally reap
the reward of iniquity.
But who was the father and founder
of the Mormon cult? If you are in
search of truth and will go with me we
will briefly run over enough history to
get at the bottom Of the whole nasty
thing as it started 1850 years ago near
the close of the administration of
Moses. We will first examine the
Bible beginning OF the 22nd chapter of
the Book of Numbers where we are
told that Balak, king of Moab, sent
ambassadors to Balaam who lived in
the valley of Euphartes offering him a
great reward If he would come and use
incarnation on the Hebrews who had
just conquered Og and Sihon and taken
possession of their land. This man,
BALKAN, was Hebrew prophet who
rode the donkey that talked like man,
and Balak hoped if he would pay him
q good, round sum of money he would
drive Moses and his army out of the
country by the occult science of divina-
tion. In this he was mistaken, for the
Divine Spirit compelled him to utter
nothing but good Of the Hebrews, al
though he was sort of millionaire,
selfish, self-willed, covetous-like we
have them now-and rich enough and
proud enough to ride on q talking
asst
Here we have man occupying the
most honorable position in the world,
rs a medium between God and man,
possessed of such corrupt heart that
he made three efforts to worry the
Creator into q compliance with his
