Among the many interesting-n0 to

N"rnCns are rolysamiSts; only when
man attains to the degree of high priest
may he have more than one wife, but
here are now 96,7O0 high priests. ac-
.ording to official data. Only about 2
per cent of the Mormon population
practice polygamy. Sometimes a man
will marry three sisters, and Mrs.
Shepard said she had known of several
asses where the same, man had mar
ried twin sisters. She said that in all
the Mormon churches there is dance
every Saturday evening. and each one is
opened with prayer. One of the most
striking things affirmed by the speaker
was that one of the oaths of those who
take the vows in the secret temple is
an oath of disloyalty to the United
States Government, and a pledge to
take vengeance upon it for the ''Moun-
tain Meadow masscre." This oath of
disloyalty! she said, is symbolized upon
the mysterious undergarments that
MormOns wear, the penalty attached to
violation being the cutting of the
throat from ear to ear, and other kim
dred mutilations.
Sealing" wives for eternity, said
Mormonism; and in such cases the
bride need not know anything about it.
This was illustrated as follows: A Nor
mon comes to your door, offering to sell
you some article; if your wife or daugh-
ter goes to the door and he likes her
appearance he will manage to learn
her name. Then he will send the name
and a ten-dollar fee to Salt Lake City,
and your wife or daughter will be
"sealed" to this Mormon for eternity
in secret ceremony, so that, accord
ing to his views, he may claim her as
his wife in the future world. Mrs. Shep-
ard remarked that she had heard that
Joseph Smith, the Mormon president,
had Sealed her to be one of his nu-
merous wives in the other world!
According to, Mrs. Shepard's af-
firmation, Mormons teach that at the
Last Day only men who have been
married will be raised from the dead;
and that no woman will be raised un-
less she has had a husband, SO that
woman's final salTatioon is made to
depend absolutely upon her having
been espoused by a Mormon here on
earth. She can only be raised from
the grave at her husbands call; hence
the necessity of having a husband.
The woman who lived in Mrs. Shep-
ards family as housekeeper for years.
told of having been compelled to give
to her husband a dozen or &more
plural wives through a term of years,
being constrained to exclaim in the
anguish of her womanly heart: 40
God, why did you make your religion
so hard for women, and so easy for
men?"
