How the Polygamists are JUST
flied.

In his article in the January
McClure's on "The Mormon Re
vival Of Polygamy,' Burton j..
Hendrick explains how the
Mormons justify their disregard
of the divinely revealed mani
festo Of their own church against
polygamy by the following ex-
tract from the original revelation
on polygamy:
Verify, verify, | say unto
you, If a man marry a wife ac-
cording to my word, and they are
sealed by the Holy Spirit Of
according to mine ap-
and he or she shall
commit any sin or transgressiOn
of the new and everlasting COW
mant whatever, and all manner
ner of blasphemies, and if
they commit no murder, wherein
they shed innocent blood-yet
they shall come forth in the first
resurrection, and enter into their
exaltation bat they shall be
destroyed in the flesh and shall
be delivered unto the ~buffetings
of Satan unto the day Of re-
demption, saith the Lord Cod
"In other words, any man
polygamously married is absolv.
ed from sin. It is a new form
of plenary indulgence. Instead
of paying money, as in the days
of Tetzel, the Mormon simply
takes one or more plural wives
The mere act Of polygamous mar
riage makes him sinless. He car
do anything except murder
wherein he sheds innocen-
blood, and yet come forth il
the first resurrection and entei
into his exaltation." To per

takn was ten feet in diameter and
twelve feet high, with a capacity of
1000 gallons, and was supported on
four strong posts extending from the
ground thru the roof to a frame work
upon which the tank was built. The
