riage among the young as remedy for
the gross immortality which he said was
rife in the world. Marriage must be
according to the laws Of God, however,
or il would result in misery. 1t WAS
contrary TO the law of God, he said,
for Mormon girl to marry a Gen

and eternity and contracted in the
name Of the Holy Trinity.
