ing polygamy by reason OF the one is
sue of the Expositor. The members of
the church characterize the Expositor
in bitter terms, but it may have pre-
served them from polygamy. The sud
den death of Joseph Smith made it
possible for all Mormons to look upon
him in a sanity light Mormons who
went to Utah accepted the charges
made by the Expositor and boldly an.
nounced the doctrine of pOlygamy
with endorsements from Joseph Smith
much as the Expositor had published.
The Mormons who remained behind
in Illinois and elsewhere never have
admitted the paternity of polygamy
in the Smith family. The Expositor
sheds some light upon the issue.
One who reads the exposition now
is convinced that these men who made
protest against Joseph Smith were
conscious OF a real peril in their
church and TO their domestic welfare
The tone OF the paper is serious and
earnest There is a convincing cor

paper by the later admissions of the
