REV. R. N. STEVENSON
TELLS OF MORMON|SM

Certain Basic Elements of Nor
monism" was the theme of an address
delivered by Rev. DIR. Robert NJ
Stevenson. former president of West
Ladies' Missionary Society of the
Church of the Covenant yesterday.
DR.. Stevenson took as his first fun
damental point the Mormon concep-
tion of God, whom he declared the
Mormons regard not as spirit, but
as an exalted man having flesh and
bones as tangible as mans
cit is a polygamous conception" Or.
Stevenson declared. Brigham Young
used often to say, Adam is our God
and the only God with whom we have
to do. Adam came into the garden
of Eden and brought some of his
wives with him.
'In their thought Christ is the son
of God by natural generation" con
tinued DIR. Stevenson. .'The next fun
damental principle of the Mormons.
he said. Lies in the fact that they
regard the Mormon Church as the
kingdom of God. For 1.400 years, ac-
cording to therp.sit was withdrawn
from earth. and restoration came in
1880 with Joseph Smith,
Quoting Orson Pratt, whom he
characterized as probably the great
est scholar who went into the Nor
mon Church. DR.. Stevenson declared
thdt Pratt said: 1T is the only
legal government in the universe. All
other governments are illegal and
unauthorized and all attempts on
the part of men to form govern
ments OF their own and choose rul-
ers of their own are in rebellion against
the kingdom OF God"
In the nature Of things" declared
DIR. Stevenson, 'if the Mormon be
true to this conception. he cannot
be true TO democracy. When Brig
ham Young failed to get the state OF
Deseret admitted to the Union. he said
to his discouraged people. DO not he
disappointed. We shall yet pull the wool
over the eyse of the American people
and make them swallow Mormonsm.
polygamy and all.'
DR.. Stevenson is to speak at 7:45

slider the confession to he involun-

tee that DR.. Van Schaick attempted to
influence him to bring in a verdict, with

appointed to investigate the charges
against Assistant Superintendent OF

produced a Photographic copy OF let
ter written by DR.. Van Schaick to DR..
Henry B. Learned, chairman Of the in

was right in making this charge. In
sorry that Peyton kicked over the
traces. He did exactly what he prom
led me ne would not do"
The committee had been told by
Peyton that DIR. Van Schaick came to
him and said prior to the investiga-
tion: "Peyton: l do not want you to
go into this Bruce case in a fighting
spirit. II you will join with the
others in a unanimous report 1 will
find a way to ease Bruce out of the
system later"

to the desire of DR.. Van Schaick. but
that after he thought it over he de-
cided that if he took this course he
would not be in q position in the
future to oppose Bruce. should DR..
Van Schaick fail to lease him out of
the system" as he promised. So Mr..
Peyton said he ma0e up his mind to
be guided by the facts as developed
by the investigation. He submitted a
minority report. The letter which he
read came into his hands with other
correspondence in the investigation
when he was about to draw up his
minority report. He said that he had
it photographed before returning it to
