Articles Describing Menace the Of
the So called Church Of The Latter Day Saints.

authority. These are but excrescences
of the foul and parent growth be-
meath.
First, Mormonism is a superstition
It's doctrines OF which more will be
said later are outlandish and ABSURD.
China or Africa can not surpass for
incongruity and distortion the Nor

known as the Temple garments. After

he dons these habiliments never again

way into the one before he emerges
from the other. These garments are
supposed to protect him from conta-
gion, accident and calamity; in short
are a talisman to protect from tenn
poral ills.
The Mormon church also teaches
that its missionary while on the
field Is observation-disclosures FROM
disease, poison, accident.
Another great teaching OF their
superstition is that to apostatize from
Mormonism is not only to invite but
to inevitably involve the wrath Of
God, and the expression of his swirl
displeasure in affliction, adversely
and death.
Secondly: Not only is Mormonism
a superstition, but II il one magnifi-
Gently organized. For perfection OF
organization 1t is ON par with the
German army, a railroad system, or
old time Jesuitry. Every fourth man
in the church is an officer. Every
member has something to do II &

lesson on Sunday. A stranger could

that when the Desert Telegraph sys-

twenty minutes later the black teach
Ell would have finished his calls ON
the village street. The fact that com
munity life was practically universal
men living In small villages and
going out and In to their farms
simplified greatly the accomplish
ment of this.
Thirdly: Mormonism is a supersti-
ton; a splendidly organized supersti
ton and more-it is an oath bound
superstition. When Mormon socs

which there are four-he takes GER

Mormons will deny with vigorous
strenuosity that this statement IS
true and yet many reputable witness
es who have gone through these very
ceremonies, on oath testify to its
truth. Many Of these facts were r.
vealed during the investigation at
Washington regarding Mr.. Smoot's
right to seat in the United States
