CONTRASTS AND ABsoRPT1oNs

One of the articles Of faith of the
Mormon church (Number 81 reads:
"We believe the Bible to be the word
of God as far as it is translated cor
rcctly; we also believe the Book of
Mormon 10 be the word of God.D
1t must be assumed, Hereunder, that
the Book Of Mormon is believed to be
the perfect book, because there is no
such qualification with respect TO il as,
" AS far as it is translated correctly,''
such as is applied to the Bible. 1t is
fatty stated to be "the word of Cod
without qualification or evasion. In
fact, Joseph Smith brought out what
was called an "inspired translation -
Of the Bible; but that it has been dis
carded is shown in the fact that il is
not in use in the Mormon church.
Further, Joseph f. Smith testified at
Washington that the King James
translation-the one declared to be i'm
perfect in the articles of faiths ac.
cepted as the standard Of the church.
Why is it, then, that we find in the
Book of Mormon-the perfect book
the following chapters of the Bible

shall bring nll things to your re-
membrance, and show you things to

Book OF Mormon have given to the
Nephtcs all these gifts three hundred
years before the Savior died, and con-
sequcntly thrco hundred years before

them, provided there be belief in the

As TO the positions which these men
held in the Mormon priesthood at the
time of the commission of their crimes,
or to which they have been appointed
since that time. The Tribune has not
complete information. But it is first
of all a certainty that they all held

the Mormon priesthood at the time
they were illegally married, for it is n
rule of the church that this priesthood
must be conferred before the "celes-

that in the list there were six apos

counselors to stake Presidents one stake

We must repeat, although the list is
somewhat formidable one to- exist in
an organization which pretends to have
abandoned the polygamous form of mar.
riage altogether, il does not begin to

broken the law since 1890. There are
hundreds of them; and the fact that we
arc able to give the fifty-two named

the secrecy there is a system of delib-

the Mormon church, testified under

scores of reputable citizens-men and

there is Apostle John Henry Smith,
