Idaho whose residence dates back ten years, who
does not know DR.. S. E. Wshard, for many years
in charge of the Presbyterian interests of Idaho and
of Utah.
Dr. Wishard is one of Gods nobemen and has
devoted his long life and superb abilities Christian
y and to the incubation of the principles of right
eousness When superintendent of home missions
for the synod of Utah, DR.. Wshard prepared
and published to the world some results of
careful research he had made on the teachings of
those in authority in the Mormon hierarchy The
Doctor quotes carefully, and ably from Mormon
works of authority binding each point he makes
with the proof of authors whose works sacred
to every Mormon everywhere in this land or in for
eign lands.
There is SO much sound reasoning from the alert
mind and pure heart of this Christian gentleman,
whose devotion to patriotism is profound that
we reproduce his deductions in full, calling special
attention of all the Christian people who read The
Scimtar particularly of Presbyterians, to his truth
full statements:
Mormon Rule Over the State, by Rev. S. E. Wish
ard, Superintendent of Home Missions for Synod of
Utah
The following professedly inspired teachings of
those in authority in the Mormon hierarchy, have
never been changed or modified:
First-"There is nucleus of government formed
since that of the United States which is perfect in
its nature 1t is perfect having emanated from
being which is perfect" (See Journal of Discourses
Orson Pratt, Vol 3, p 72)
Second-"But may inquire is it right is it
lawful for another government to be organized with
in the United States of theocratical nature? Yes,
perfectly So" (Same vol and page) The Mormon
hierarchy claims to be that government.
Third-"The Priesthood (of the Mormon hier-
archy) hods the keys of revelation of the oracles of
God to upon the earth, the power and the right
to give laws and commandments to individuals,
churches, rulers nations and the world; to appoint,
ordain and establish constitutions and kingdoms; to
appoint kings presidents governors and judges; and
to ordain and anoint them to their several holy
callings, also to instruct, reprove them by
the word of the Lord which means the latter day
revelation of the Mormon Priesthood (See Key to
Theology, 4th edition, p. 70)
Fourth-"When God sets up a system of revelation,
He has done by the Priesthood in these latter days.
He sets UP system of government that shall rule
both temporal and spiritual matters" (See M1llen-
NAL Star, VOL %, p 214)
Fiftl-"The Kingdom of Cod" (Which always
means the Mormon hierarchy SIS an order OF gov
eminent established by Divine authority. 1t is the
only legal government that can exist IN any ;u part
of the universe. All other governments are illegal
and unauthorized. (See Apostle Orson Pratts work
on "The Kingdom of God'O
Sixth-"The day will when the United
States government, and all others, will be uprooted
and the kingdoms of this world will be united in one,
and the kingdom of our God" (Which always means
the Mormon hierarchy will govern the whole earth
and have universal sway. (See Journal OF LIS
courses, Orson Pratt, Vol B. p. II.
1t is to be noted everywhere and always that Nor
mon prophets and apostles use the phrase, k1ng-
dom of Cod not as referring to the spiritual reign
of Christ but to the material and the political su
premacy of the Mormon priesthood the only right
full governing power in the unverse-"The only legal
government that can exist in any part of the uni
verse"
This domination of the priesthood all civil
the logical result of their authorized
eachng, that "Men who hold the priesthood possess
1ivne authority thus act for Cod and by possess
ng part of Gods power they in reality part OF
Cod that is in the of being part OF the great
governing power that extends throughout the uni
