til about 1873, Notwithstanding an edi-
ton had been printed in 1852, per
haps others between the time the reve-
latlon was received, AS por the one
hundred and thirty section. and
1875. Taking this fact into consdera-
tlon, together with the fact that either
the prophet or bis wives or the book
he'd. and with tho further fact that
in February, 1914, nearly year after
the Doctrine aud Covenants says the
! revelation was received, the prophet
and his brother, Hyrum, published an
accommodation in 'Tbe Times and
Seasons communicating ono Hirum
Brown for preaching what they con.
sidercd polygamy and other false
and corrupt DOCTRINES" it seems to
the common mind that in days when
God spoke often TO HIS prophet there
were some very strange twistings
necessary.
In 1890. when tho church had lost
best men were in prisons, the president
Of the church, backed by 10000 upIifted
hands and all the inspired leaders
brought forth n revelation which
stopped plural marriage. There are
many who believe that tbe Woodruff
manifesto was not n revelation, telling
you that if it had been so considered
it would have been placed in the Doc.
trlnc and Covenants. In the Smoot IN
vcstigation the head reyciator said
hat 1t would be printed therein, and
had been left ont becauscs,of oversight
(should have said undersigh). In the
last edition of that book, near the fly
leaf in the back, removed from the
body of the book, the manifesto now
rcposes. But it is not entitled revcla
ton, nor does it mention. as did the
prophet S uttcrances, that. the Lord God
saith so and SO. No, it is printed as IN
address, "to whom it may concern
In Bount,ful, 1906, Joseph i. Smitb b
said the manifesto is not of God. but
he is not competent to Judge, as accord

ton he had never received revelation
up 10 that time. Wilford Woodruff said
emphatically that it WAS revelation; !;
said he, "Tbc God Of heaven com
manded me 10 do what ! did do In
the petition for amnesty, wherein the
apostles and first presidency asked par
don for past offenscs and received it,
they state that President Woodruff Gin
anguish and prayer cried out to God for
help and received permission of God
to stop plural marriage. In other words
the Lord gave a most solemn, important
and innoyating doctrine, and after fifty
years experimentation let the matter
drop and had his mouthpieces prom

Mormon God is either very weak at
times or he chose a lot of infants to
do the work.
In order to get statehood the lead

and divide on political lines other
agreements were entered into, followed

I The persecution is still caused
through plural marriage Polygamy has
been the distinguishing feature Of Nor
monism almost from the first, hence
to continue the farce is natural enough.
There are other phases of deceit and
fraud. but this ono is to be again
thrashed out in conference by the
revelatorg,' inspired by God rs own
commands, Few Mormons know the
real truth about polygamy, and for the
beneht of young men who win read and
understand lot us hurriedly trace the
principal epochs of the system. If any
man doubts the truth Of ANYTHING
said in this short talk he can easily
have such doubts removed by reading
the books, or calling on Gcntilcs who
know more about Mormon history than
the bogus prophet himself
There is much disagreement regard
instituted in the church. and disagree
ment regarding the time when tho
prophet received the revelation on
plural marriage. Some say he got the
command from God about 1881 but
could not inform the brethren. with
one or two exceptions, until July IL.
