TEACHING ABOUT CHRIST
Concerning Christ, Brigham Young
declared, J. OF D. l50. ''ae was not
begotten by the Holy Ghost" Apostle
Hyde declared in q sermon that Christ
was married to the Marys and Martha
at Cana. The atonement OF Christ and
faith in it will save no one. Men are
saved by life OF good works." Comp.

BLOOD ATONEMENT
Here follows the doctrine of Blood
Atonement which they now attempt
to deny. But it was taught and prsc-
tised when they dared to do 90, and in
the history of Utah and Mormonism
hundreds have been slain in harmony
with this doctrine, which carries the
weight Of Brigham Young: "Will you
love your brothers and sisters likewise
when they have q sin thai cannot be
atoned for without the shedding of
their bIood?- - That Is what Jesus
Christ meant 10y love thy neighbor
as thyself.o 49, I can refer you to
plenty of instances where men have
been righteously slain 10 order TO atone
for their sins - The wicked ness and
ignorance OF the nations forbid this
principle being 10 full force, but
the time will come when the law OF
God will be In full force. This 10 low
ing our neighbor Is ourselves; IL he
needs help, help him; II he wants sal
walton and 1t is necessary to spill his
blood on the earth in order that he
may be savei, spill it - That Is the
way to love mankind" Brigham
Young's Tabernacle sermon, Feb. 8,
1857, j. of d. Nv: PIG, 900.
AUTHORITY OF THE PRIESTHOOD
Some conception of their ideas oil
the authority OF the priesthood may be
had from what follows: "Men who
hold the priesthood possess divine
authority thus to act for God; and BY
possessing part of Gods power they
are in reality part Of God. - Men who
honor the priesthood in them honor
God, and those who reject II, reject
God. "-Roberts, New Witness for
God. 1877. II would just ~ soon think
