FILTHY PoLYGAMoUs ORIGINS

We find an interesting little bit in the
Millennisl Star, volume 6, page %. that
was written by Apostle Farley z. Pratt
in 1916. This is how be speaks of
polvgamy: Such doctrine j. not
held. known. or practiced as principle
of the Latter-day Saints. 1t is but
another name for whorcdom and is as
foreign from the real principles of the
church. as The devil Is from God; or
as sccfarianiSm is from Christianity.

campaign of falsehood under which the
system was iuauguratcd was probably
Que of the most vicious that was ever
engaged in by human beings. We he.
lievc, that our information is correct
that Parlcy P Pratt was a polygamist
at the time he wrote this denial of it
IN the Millcnnial Star. Just as John
TAYLOR was several times married when
he denounced the practice i'm his de.

The fact is that the system was be-
gotten N mans brutality; that the
praciiccrs Of it were really ashamed

dcavorcd 10 hide it from the world be

trinc' was first ''rcvealcd - it has
been surrounded with and submerged
under a heap Of falsehood. There is
absolutely no justification FOR it in
truth. aud recourse is naturally had
10 the altcrnativc-the unqualified lie.
There are. As we have said many times
before. hundreds of new polygamists in
the Mormon church. but the speakers
and writers for fhc church denv the
assertion most slrcuuously. Tie chief
