MoI HloulSHl is very aggressive,
year by year conquering new ter.

it Is reaching out in colonies into
Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Wash

1t Is a kingdom founded on lust
and blood, the subjugating OF
womanhood, whom God has
meant to be mans equal, help
mate and no. slave, nor a play
thing. They lead her to believe
that she is to be a satellite to the
glory OF some male saint, and IN
the words of Brigham Young, if
woman would not submit to po-
lygamy, she should be eternally
damned.
Heber Klmbel, one of their
prophets, said that he thought no
more Of taking a new wife than
of buying a COW. This certainly
shows that there was no limit to
his degradation and that "hls
conscience bad become scared as
with hot iron.
They teach also that the "good
Mormons" are going to be kings
in the next world and the gentiles

Their faith in their fellow. men,
or their companions o. faith was
nothing to be boasted OF, for
Brigham Young SAID of Joseph

those of manageable age gave
out, they then forced young girls
from thirteen years and up to
marry, some married men old
enough to be their Srandfathers.
To US, it was rightly named the
"Reign of Terror, but to them it
was great revival of polygamy.
They have a relief society,
claimed to be Of divine origin, the
purpose of which is to instruct
young girls in polygamy and to
lnstll its principles into their
lives. They are to attend every
week at least and they are taught
that polygamous marriage is
condition of their salvation. Such
nefarlous doctrine is poison to
their lives, and they are kept
blinded and IN the dark as to the
truth.
Brigham Young's statement
will help us to see the true con-
ditlon existing IN their camp, for
he says that nowhere is there
greater or smoother liars than
among Mormons.
When Apostle Taylor was in
Boulogne, France, dong mission.
ary work, he was asked if they
dld not teach and practice polyg-
amy. Taylor denied that they
did and at the same time was the
husband of five wives.
In 1890 the Mormon Church
officially abandoned pohgamy,
when President Woodruff claimed
that God revealed to him and com

not exist, so he issued the "Man.
lfesto," "and the impression went
forth that the leading authorities
were unanimously in favor of it,
This, however, was not true, and
the church still openly teaches

doctrine, and a number of the
apostles violated the Woodruff
manifesto, marrying plurality.
In order to insure their own
protection and safety, they have
